TEDxAmazônia 2026
Where everything connects
Previous editions of
TEDxAmazônia brought together voices,
reconnected ancestries and began to reclaim possible futures.
In 2026, this movement crosses borders. For the first time, TEDxAmazônia goes beyond Brazil and arrives in Ecuador, in partnership with TEDxQuito—an unprecedented gesture within the global TEDx network. It is the Amazon recognizing itself as a shared territory: bringing together voices from different countries in the Amazon Basin in an immersive experience where science, culture, innovation, and traditional knowledge intertwine.
Ecuador then opens a new chapter: looking at the living system as a whole.
The flying rivers show this clearly: currents of vapor that distribute rain across the continent, sustaining life cycles on a continental scale. Deforestation affects rainfall patterns. Economic decisions reverberate through ecosystems. When cultures are erased, knowledge systems are also lost.
Today, these flows are under pressure. Parts of the Amazon already emit more carbon than they absorb. Rivers reach historic lows. The crisis reveals the interdependence we have ignored for so long.
Therefore, this edition asks:
how can we live interdependence in practice? How can we build economies that operate with living systems? How can we turn regeneration into concrete action?
We seek voices that work at the intersections—science, indigenous knowledge, economics, art. People willing to confront essential questions: is it possible to thrive while maintaining the balances that sustain us? Can we act with the necessary urgency?
TEDxAmazônia 2026 is an invitation to face what interdependence demands of us—with responsibility, imagination, and collective action.
