Brazilian Climate & Carbon Conference (BCCC)

bccc 2026

In its fourth edition, the Brazilian Climate & Carbon Conference (BCCC), organized by the NBS Brazil Alliance, reaffirms its role as the leading gathering for those shaping, advancing, and driving the climate agenda in Brazil. Scheduled for August 27–28, 2026, at the Memorial da América Latina in São Paulo, the conference will bring together leaders from the public sector, businesses, investors, experts, and civil society organizations around a common goal: turning commitment into action.

In the post-COP30 landscape and amid the ongoing development of Brazil’s Emissions Trading System (SBCE), BCCC 2026 serves as a strategic platform to consolidate pathways, accelerate solutions, and connect those at the forefront of the climate transition. Over two days, participants will engage in high-level discussions, foster collaboration, and advance initiatives capable of positioning Brazil as a global leader in climate action.

More than an event, BCCC 2026 is a turning point. A space where ideas take shape, partnerships are strengthened, and nature is recognized as a central pillar of the solutions the world urgently needs.

From Commitment to Action: Nature at the Center of Solutions

Fostering dialogue and connections among government, the private sector, communities, academia, and financial institutions to strengthen Brazil’s ecological transition.

Promoting collaboration among complementary approaches that ensure integrity, transparency, and effectiveness in advancing the climate agenda.

Developing strategic proposals to guide Brazil’s role in the climate agenda, contributing to the advancement of nature-based solutions aligned with national priorities and realities.

The BCCC 2026 program has been designed to reflect the moment Brazil is experiencing. Brazil emerged from COP30 with greater responsibilities and now faces the challenge of turning ambition into concrete action.

Over two days, the conference will feature panels addressing the key challenges and opportunities of the climate agenda, with a focus on carbon markets, nature-based solutions, climate finance, integrity, and regulation. More than discussing trends, the goal is to explore ongoing developments in depth and identify practical pathways for the years ahead.

The event’s format encourages direct dialogue among stakeholders from different sectors, fostering connections, knowledge exchange, and collaborative action.
