Bringing together contributions from an international group of scholars and practitioners, the volume highlights how diverse actors are advancing sustainable development in the Amazon through research, policy innovation, community engagement, and practical interventions. The chapters cover a wide range of topics, including policy-related aspects, biodiversity conservation, climate change adaptation, sustainable land use, forest governance, and the development of resilient livelihoods. Particular attention is given to the role of Indigenous and local communities, interdisciplinary approaches, and multi-level governance frameworks. In summary, Fostering Sustainable Development in the Amazon Region is a timely contribution for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, civil society actors, and students. It offers concrete examples, empirically grounded case studies, and valuable insights for those seeking to promote sustainable development in the Amazon and other ecologically sensitive regions worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-olk-copy-source=\"MailCompose\"\u003eWalter Leal Filho\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Senior Professor and Head of the Research and Transfer Centre \"Sustainable Development and Climate Change Management” at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences in Germany, and Chair of Environment and Technology at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK.
