The delegation emphasized Canada's ability to support Amazonian countries in protecting the ecosystem. Ecuadorian parliamentarian Fernando Nantipia called on delegates to unite on a joint agenda for confronting companies like Petrobras and Gran Tierra Energy regarding fossil fuel extraction in their respective countries.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The delegation argued that Canada could not be a global climate leader while backing domestic fossil fuel extraction projects, such as the West Coast Pacific Link oil pipeline. This political pressure could increase regulatory and reputational risk for fossil fuel operations in the Amazon.
