Brazil's National Adaptation Strategy (Estratégia Nacional de Adaptação)

Brazil’s National Adaptation Strategy is the adaptation pillar of the Plano Clima 2024–2035 framework, providing a national roadmap to strengthen resilience to climate change impacts across society, ecosystems, infrastructure, and the economy. The strategy adopts a people-centered and climate-justice approach, prioritizing vulnerable populations while integrating adaptation into public policies, territorial planning, and sectoral decision-making. It establishes national objectives, targets, and guidelines that are implemented through 16 sectoral and thematic adaptation plans covering areas such as agriculture, water resources, health, cities, infrastructure, biodiversity, disaster risk management, and coastal zones. The strategy promotes nature-based solutions, risk reduction, climate governance, and coordination across federal, state, and local governments to reduce climate vulnerability and increase long-term resilience.
