Brazil ICF Summary

What are the ICF’s goals?
ICF seeks to facilitate and expedite the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) by

• catalysing and mobilizing strategic private sector investments in sustainable low carbon projects on forests, agriculture and infrastructure

and;

• encouraging technological progress, ensuring that these activities can continue to develop while preserving natural resources, reducing deforestation and reducing GHG emissions.

Brazil’s climate policy objectives are as follows:

• Support Brazil to create lower carbon economies, meeting energy needs and climate commitments.
• Leverage ICF programmes to engage government, civil society and businesses to build consensus towards ambition and higher Brazilian emissions reduction targets, to help UK ambitions for UNFCCC COP26 agreeing 5 year targets.
