HELSINKI, Sept. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

The World BioEconomy Forum is now making final preparations for the World

Bioeconomy Forum goes to Brazil – live from Belém! 18-20 October 2021. The

event will bring together some 60 prominent stakeholders from the global

circular bioeconomy as keynote speakers, moderators, and panellists to discuss

the latest challenges and opportunities presented to the sector.

In just four years the World Bioeconomy Forum has evolved to become the leading

global platform for high-level discussions relating to the circular bioeconomy.

As well as the major annual event, the Forum also holds regular Roundtables,

has developed a breaking news app for the bioeconomy and has created exclusive

networking platforms for sector stakeholders. It also promotes an annual

Bioproduct Day, to highlight the need for consumers to use only products made

using renewable resources.

The Forum strictly operates under a four-pillar structure by which it evaluates

the status of the circular bioeconomy and facilitates developments of the

sector. This makes the Forum and its activities robust and effective, enabling

the facilitating of a fully working bioeconomy and thus making significant

efforts in the mitigation of climate change.

The four pillars are:

- The Bioeconomy: People, Planet, Policies

- Global Leaders and the Financial World

- Bioproducts Around Us

- Looking to the Future

All Forum programs and activities are aligned with the four-pillar structure,

including all Roundtables and the annual Declaration. This four-pillar

structure ensures that all relevant stakeholders in the circular bioeconomy

have a voice and a platform.

On 15th September, the Forum held a Roundtable discussion under the pillar of

Looking to the Future, which focused on topic – What does the BioEconomy mean

to Brazil and to the Amazon? The main takeaway from the discussion was that

right now the momentum is right, and Brazil is embracing the concept of the

bioeconomy. The link to the Roundtable can be found here for those wishing to

Jukka Kantola, Founder of the World BioEconomy Forum, says, "This has been an

exciting journey and our mission is of growing importance when taking into

account the obvious repercussions of climate change being seen all over the

world. The four-pillar approach allows us to evaluate the status of the

circular bioeconomy and based on our findings we can propose the corrective

measures needed. The Declaration for 2021 will be disclosed on the 20th of

October in Belém and will include the current status of the circular bioeconomy

and it will again be a testimony and action plan as to what efforts are needed

to foster the bioeconomy globally.

"At our annual Forum event in Brazil next month we will be showcasing just how

important the bioeconomy is becoming to the Amazon region – which is not just

important for Brazil, but also for the rest of the world. We will be in Belém

for our usual 'hard talk' on the issues that affect all regions of the world

with discussions taking place in a relaxed atmosphere and in an exceptional

environment."
