The challenge
In 2018, Brazil had committed to cutting its emissions by 37% by 2025, and technical cooperation with Germany supported several fronts of this effort. GIZ needed fast, accurate materials for different moments: a short video to catch experts' attention at the COP24 pavilion, a record of a national seminar on REDD+ safeguards, and a publication that would persuade multinational executives to invest in sociobiodiversity supply chains.
The film
What we delivered
- 3-minute video on Brazil-Germany Cooperation, for COP24
- Audiovisual coverage of the SISREDD+ National Seminar
- 8-page publication "Partnerships with the business sector", in Portuguese and English
- English and Spanish subtitling of the Vozes Locais videos

What we did
For COP24, we created a 3-minute video that shows, through one person's life, how Brazil-Germany cooperation translates into results on the ground, with motion graphics and subtitles, jointly approved by GIZ and the Ministry of the Environment. We also covered the SISREDD+ seminar, which brought together government, civil society and Indigenous peoples in Brasília.
For the Mercados Verdes (Green Markets) project, we designed an 8-page landscape publication, made for on-screen reading and print, presenting value chains, traceability, ecological footprint and campaigns, with a closing call for partnerships. In 2019, we subtitled the Vozes Locais (Local Voices) project videos in English and Spanish.
Outcome
GIZ took two videos produced by Forest to COP24, this one and Talanoa, and gained bilingual materials to engage companies and international partners.
