During the meeting, Mato Grosso pledged to reduce illegal deforestation to zero by the year 2020 and to take action to curb global warming. The purpose of the Committee is
to establish a system of governance to plan the details and implementation of the goals of the PCI Strategy, which seeks to expand and increase the efficiency of agricultural
and forestry production of Mato Grosso, together with the conservation of native vegetation and restoration of environmental liabilities, with the socio-economic inclusion
of family farming and traditional populations.
