Abstract
Brazil is highly exposed to climate
change risks. The impacts of global climate change risks and
local practices on the Amazon and Cerrado biomes are of
particular concern, as they provide vital ecosystem services
to Brazil, the South American region, and the world. The
Brazil Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR)
examines the implications of climate change and climate
action for Brazil's development objectives and
priorities. It identifies opportunities for Brazil to
achieve both its development goals and its climate
commitments. It lays out a combination of sectoral and
economy-wide policy reforms, as well as targeted investments
in near- and medium-term mitigation and adaptation measures
to achieve more rapid and inclusive development with lower
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The idea is to maximize
synergies between climate and development objectives, while
addressing trade-offs among policy objectives and key
transition challenges.
