The Climate Plan is the main instrument of Brazil’s National Policy on Climate Change, designed to guide climate action in the country up to 2035. Coordinated by the Interministerial Committee on Climate Change (CIM), it involves the participation of 23 ministries and representatives from civil society.

The plan is structured around two main pillars: mitigation – focusing on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. And adaptation – promoting the resilience of natural and human systems to the impacts of climate change.

In addition to the National Strategies, the Climate Plan is composed of sectoral and thematic plans: 7 for Mitigation and 16 for Adaptation. The document will also include Cross-cutting Strategies for Climate Action, which will define the means of implementation (such as financing, governance and capacity building) and outline measures for climate transition.

In this context, IIS is providing technical consultancy to the Brazil Climate, Forests and Agriculture Coalition to support its contributions to the Climate Plan. The Brazil Coalition is a movement made up of over 400 representatives from the private sector, financial institutions, academia and civil society, advocating for Brazil’s leadership in building a new low-carbon, competitive, responsible and inclusive economy.

In partnership with the Coalition’s Executive Coordination and Climate Working Group, IIS is working on: i) document review and analysis, ii) methodological support, iii) synthesis of technical contributions, iv) interviews and input analysis, and v) support for the Coalition’s advocacy plan regarding the sectoral and thematic plans.

Additionally, this partnership also involves Aflorar in the strategic facilitation of meetings and workshops.

These contributions are significant for the movement, which has positioned itself as an important player in the development of proposals and solutions to help Brazil implement its commitments under the global climate agreement.
