One Year of Action for the Amazon 

Global Citizen Festival: Amazônia marks the culmination of our year-long Protect the Amazon campaign — a global effort to generate funding, policy progress, and awareness for one of Earth’s most essential ecosystems.

To date, the campaign has secured over $345 million in commitments, including $135 million from Everland; $100 million from the Inter-American Development Bank; $26 million from the Jaguar Rivers Initiative; $20 million from a coalition of organizations including Rainforest Trust, Andes Amazon Fund, Art Into Acres, Liz Claiborne Foundation, and Re:wild; and $10 million from the Thistlerock Mead Company. Suriname pledged to pass the Sustainable Management of Nature Law and codified to preserve 90% forest coverage, approximately 15 million hectares.

To make Global Citizen Festival: Amazônia accessible to all, including those without smartphones or internet access, and ensure that historically underrepresented communities have equitable access to attend, Global Citizen has partnered with the State of Pará and a network of regional organizations to distribute tickets directly to Indigenous peoples, local communities, and young people from across the Amazon region — including Usinas da Paz, SEPI (Secretary of Indigenous Peoples of Pará), Mídia Indígena, COP das Baixadas, REPAM (Rede Eclesial Pan-Amazônica), and Grupo Funtelpa.

The agenda and impact strategy of the Global Citizen Festival: Amazônia campaign are being developed in consultation with a coalition of supporters, including leading social movements, foundations, and nonprofit organizations. Currently, there are over 190 civil society partner organizations from around the world, including Indigenous groups, quilombola communities, and local organizations in Brazil, which have been and continue to be essential in raising and strengthening the issues related to the protection of the Amazon and other biomes. The full list of partners can be found on the official campaign page.
