Last week Sonia Guajajara, Brazil’s first-ever Minister for Indigenous Peoples, landed in London accompanied by two younger Indigenous activists. Her travels coincided with a ground-breaking Supreme Court victory for Indigenous peoples and allies in Brazil. In Canning House's latest blog, Laura Trajber Waisbich considers what Guajajara's, and Brazil's, new approach to Indigenous policies mean for the country.
Canning Papers
A number of Latin American countries have been at the forefront of the development of sustainable finance through the creation of Green, Social, Sustainability, and Sustainability-Linked Bonds (GSSSBs), and the region is already the source of nearly 20% of the world’s supply of carbon credits, with Peru, Brazil, and Colombia the primary suppliers. In its latest Canning Paper, Canning House considers Latin America's emerging role as a protagonist in global sustainable finance.
This conference, held by Canning House and the London Stock Exchange Group explored Latin America’s crucial significance as a protagonist in the story of global sustainable finance, across two panels: on the region's green, social and sustainability bonds, and its carbon markets.
In Guatemala, a presidential runoff, between Sandra Torres and her unexpected rival Bernardo Arévalo, took place on 20 August.

Forgotten Histories
In Canning House's fourth Forgotten Histories publication, Mary Godward and Andrew Nickson recount the fascinating story of the ill-fated 'Lincolnshire Farmers' - who were mostly neither farmers, nor from Lincolnshire - in 1870s Paraguay, whose journey as pawns to 'boom' a phoney loan led to tragic loss of life.
