Promoted by the NBS Brazil Alliance, the Brazilian Climate and Carbon Conference is an event that brings together professionals and experts from the sector, academics and government representatives that are interested in discussing climate issues and opportunities in the carbon market. The event will bring together national and international specialists to discuss three mais axes: climate, carbon market (regulated and voluntary) and prospects for COP 29 in Azerbaijan. The conference will have two days and will take place on October 15 & 16, 2024, at the Santander Theater in São Paulo, Brazil.
The conference will be an opportunity to look at the prospects for the future of the carbon market in Brazil and reflect on the sector’s progress over the coming months. The event will highlight issues relevant to Brazil, such as the impact of regulation on the country, good practices in the sector, challenges encountered, opportunities for the future, state jurisdictional programs, individual projects and nature-based solutions, among others.
The biggest conference of the sector in Brazil will promote the exchange of knowledge and experiences among participants, accelerating the development of practical and innovative solutions within the scope of the carbon market in order to face the climate challenges.
The event will highlight issues relevant to Brazil, such as the impact of regulation in the country, good practices in the sector, challenges encountered, opportunities for the future, state jurisdictional programs, individual projects and nature-based solutions, among other topics, aiming to strengthen environmental policies and practices in the country.
Discuss perspectives for COP 29 in Azerbaijan, identifying Brazil’s expectations and contributions to international climate negotiations.
The world faces urgent challenges related to climate change, and Brazil plays a key role in this scenario, mainly due to the fact that most of Brazilian emissions come from the conversion of land use, from forest to agriculture and livestock activities. With the growing importance of the carbon market and its imminent regulation in Brazil, it is fundamental to discuss strategies to reduce emissions, as well as to guarantee the viability of forest carbon projects, addressing the difficulties and challenges present in the region. In this sense, the Brazilian Climate and Carbon Conference seeks to provide a space for dialogue and learning to promote concrete actions and innovative solutions so that the carbon market can continue to contribute to the fight against climate change and to achieve the goals established in the Paris Agreement (2015).
