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 Transports

Published

As part of the National Mitigation Strategy, national mitigation targets for 2025 and 2030 were presented, and for 2035, a reduction in national net GHG emissions of between 59% and 67% below 2005 levels was set. These figures correspond, in absolute terms, to emissions of 1.05 GtCO2 and 0.85 GtCO2.According to the Transport Sector Plan, the projected emissions trajectory starts at 116 MtCO2 in 2022, reaches 126 MtCO2 in 2030, and is estimated to be 134 MtCO2 and 107 MtCO2 in 2035, representing the upper and lower bounds, respectively. To reach that the Plan brings two axis of actions:
• High-impact: mitigation measures that have a direct impact on reducing emissions or removing/capturing GHGs, such as those related to the fuels used or to modes of transportation that are less carbon-intensive than road transport. For instance the use of sustainable, low-carbon fuels in medium- and heavy-duty vehicles; improve the efficiency to reduce fuel consumption; incrase railway and hydroway transportation etc.
• Enabling: aimed at establishing the fundamental conditions for the execution and implementation of mitigation measures, such as creating incentives to replace fossil fuel-powered fleets with low-carbon technologies.

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.
