BOLSTERING THE CLIMATE
GOVERNANCE AGENDA
For WRI Brasil Climate program, 2018 was
a year of preparing and articulating analyzes
and recommendations to review and improve
climate governance in Brazil. The results of
this effort were published in the working
paper "Monitoring the implementation of the
Brazilian climate policy: implications on the
Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC)".
WRI Brasil also organized an event called
"Governance challenges in creating an MRV
system for Brazilian NDCs", which included
the participation of Federal Government
representatives. On the occasion, the Climate
team presented the "Guide for the development
of mandatory programs for reporting
greenhouse gases" and promoted a discussion
on a possible MRV system for Brazil.
INCLUSION OF THE SUBJECT OF CLIMATE IN
THE 4TH OPEN GOVERNMENT ACTION PLAN
The Governance team of WRI Brasil Climate
program supported the inclusion of climate
change among the strategic subjects for the
4th Open Government Action Plan, part of
the Open Government Partnership - OGP
initiative, under the coordination of Brazil's
Government Accountability Office.
In addition, WRI Brasil participated in workshops
that defined the milestones, commitments and

GHG PROTOCOL - AGRICULTURE
AND SILVICULTURE
The GHG Protocol - Agriculture and GHG
Protocol - Silviculture are tools that establish
a sustainable management approach to
landscapes, allowing for the development of
Brazilian agribusiness combined with a reduction
in its impact on ecosystems and the climate.
During 2018, the WRI Brasil Climate program
worked to enhance and disseminate these
tools in the agriculture and forestry sectors.
With the support of Embrapa, we developed an
online platform and application to facilitate access
to and use of said tools. The Climate team hosted
discussions with the Ministry of Agriculture,
Livestock and Supply (MAPA) and Embrapa to
assess the possibility of the GHG Protocol for
Agriculture supporting the implementation of
the Low Carbon Agriculture Plan (Plano ABC)
as an MVR tool. The organization was invited by
Embrapa to present the tool at a road show about
low carbon agriculture in Italy, in collaboration
with the Forum of the Future and the Food and
Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
- FAO/UN. The goal of the initiative was to
disseminate MRV methods for the agriculture
industry to encourage more sustainable and low
carbon production in the European market.
LONG-TERM GOAL
OF THE PARIS AGREEMENT
Together with Instituto Escolhas and the Brazilian
Business Council for Sustainable Development
(CEBDS), and with the support of the German
Embassy in the scope of an NDC Partnership,
WRI Brasil coordinated the Thematic Chamber
on the Long-Term Outlook of the Brazilian Forum
on Climate Change (FBMC). The work involved
analyses and the engagement of stakeholders to
draft recommendations for the development of
a long-term strategy so the country can fulfil its
commitments in terms of the Paris Agreement.
CLIMATE ADAPTATION
In 2018, WRI Brasil conducted an initiative with
the participation of federal and sub-national public
managers to identify limits and opportunities
to integrate the adaptation agenda in the urban
management of Brazilian cities. The plan was
based on the "Integration of Climate Change"
methodology and a conceptual model prepared by
the World Resource Institute (WRI) global team.
Organized in partnership with the Ministry of the
Environment (MMA) and with the support of the
German Embassy, the initiative aims to contribute
to the successful implementation of the National
Adaption Plan and its adaptations to local contexts.
