The National Climate Change Plan (the Climate Plan) guides adaptation and mitigation efforts to reduce the adverse effects of climate change and the vulnerability of environmental, social, and economic systems.
The Resolution No. 03, dated September 14, 2023, provides for the update of the Climate Plan and defines it as an instrument of the National Policy on Climate Change (PNMC) to consolidate the strategies, plans, and targets of the Federal Executive Branch, contributing to the objectives of the Policy and to the achievement of the targets established in the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement.

Brazil's Mitigation Climate Plan: Sectoral Plan for Land-Use Changes in Private Rural Areas

Published

The Sectoral Plan for Land-Use Change in Private Rural Areas is a key component of the Mitigation Plan, as it brings together a series of strategic actions to reduce emissions and increase removals from land-use change in private rural area. It defines the priorities and trends that will guide the plan, identifying the key levers for decarbonization by 2035, such as:
(i) controlling unauthorized removal of native vegetation and wildfires and strengthening environmental regularization;
(ii) reduction of native vegetation removal through the promotion of conservation and restoration;
(iii) restoration of native vegetation in private rural areas;
(iv) expansion of forestry production;
(v) restoration and conversion of degraded areas and conservation-oriented soil management in private rural areas; and
(vi) expansion of integrated and agroecological production systems.
The main objectives encompass net emissions reductions in the sector from a projected 352 MtCO₂e in 2022 to a target of 106 MtCO₂e in 2030,and between -30 and -34 MtCO₂e in 2035, transforming the sector from an emitter to a carbon sink. The key actions focus on controlling the removal of native vegetationand promoting sustainable forest expansion.

An aim to achieve a quantifiable outcome within a given time-frame, set by an institution such as a national government.

Policy instruments are techniques or tools used by governing authorities to promote certain policies in order to achieve predetermined goals. Put simply, instruments are how a government tries to achieve its goals, with this taxonomy being focused on national policy instruments.

Risk is the potential for adverse consequences resulting from the dynamic interplay between (climate-related) hazards, exposure, and vulnerability of affected human or ecological systems.

Groups  of people who are adversely affected by climate change or the response to it

A set of principles, processes, and practices that build economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy.

Renewable energy means all forms of energy produced from renewable sources in a sustainable manner.

Fossil fuel is a generic term for non-renewable energy sources such as coal, fossil gas, and oil (including crude oil, and petroleum products), that can be used for electricity and heat generation. Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons formed from pressurised and heated organic material buried over millions of years.

Molecules in the atmosphere that play a key role in the greenhouse effect by trapping heat radiating from Earth’s surface.

Area of the economy in which actors engage in identical or related activities.

In human systems, the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate change and its effects, in order to moderate harm, increase resilience or exploit beneficial opportunities. In natural systems, the process of adjustment to actual climate change and its effects; human intervention may facilitate adjustment to expected climate change and its effects.
