Brazilian Climate & Carbon Conference (BCCC)

Perspectives for the Future of the Carbon Market in Brazil

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).
