DESCRIPTION:The EU and Mercosur are celebrating their latest trade agreemen
 t as a win-win\, but indigenous and climate activists view it as a major th
 reat to biodiversity\, with irreversible risks to Amazonia and the future o
 f the planet. While the agreement claims to operate under a value-based tra
 de agenda that protects labor rights and the environment\, Latin American n
 ature defenders warn that it will expand the agribusiness frontier in Amazo
 nia\, driving deforestation\, land grabs\, greenhouse gas emissions and bio
 diversity loss. Scholar and activist Manuela Picq\, alongside directors fro
 m the Kimberly Green Latin American & Caribbean Center and the Miami-Florid
 a Jean Monnet Center of Excellence\, will discuss the implications of the n
 ew EU-Mercosur agreement for Amazonia and nature defenders.
