The economist and expert in green economy who led the study at the UNEP, Pavan Sukhdev, showed the results in a recent analysis of the costs and opportunities concerning a transition from the current development economic model to a low carbon one, which it is claimed will stimulate green jobs.

The MMA Executive-Secretary, Izabella Teixeira, took part in the Seminar. According to her, today's world faces a new model of environmental policy. "Without biodiversity conservation there is no guarantee for the survival of most animal and vegetable species and, therefore, there will be no chance for sustainable development."
