The world’s first “nature superpower”

At the TED Countdown Summit 2025, GBF’s founder and president, Ilona Szabó de Carvalho, delivers a talk on how Brazil has the potential to

the world's first nature superpower

To become a true pioneer for Nature-based Solutions, Brazil must transform how it values, protects, and invests in nature – shifting from a model based on deforestation and extraction to one rooted in forest-based economies, inclusive bioinnovation, and high-integrity environmental finance.

Illegal deforestation, weak governance, and environmental crime are territorial risks that block investment. But Brazil’s natural wealth represents enormous opportunity. Platforms like KYT-e help identify where these risks and opportunities intersect, guiding better decision-making and unlocking green investment at scale.
