LETTER OF PRESENTATION WRIBRASIL.ORG.BR São Paulo/SP. Photo: Nelson Antoine/Shutterstock The year 2020 brought unfathomable challenges for many of us. The impacts of the pandemic were felt across WRI Brasil's entire spectrum. COVID-19 has tested our own resilience, and we worked hard to mediate the team's health and well-being with the urgency of positively transforming our country. Thousands of Brazilian families have lost loved ones. Vulnerable groups and communities were hit particularly hard. Many had their livelihoods compromised, lost jobs and income. Realizing the pandemic's uneven impact on Brazilian society moved and invigorated us. WRI Brasil focused on supporting agile and effective responses to the health crisis and the pre-existing challenges it intensified. Cities led the scenes of COVID-19 impacts, with millions of lives severely impacted.

We worked to increase the resilience and safety of public transport, and we continued to develop the information and coordination to unlock sustainable urban financing. Our Climate Program and the New Economy for Brazil and New Climate Economy initiatives developed an unprecedented study that pointed out paths for a green Brazilian economy recovery capable of reducing poverty and inequality, contributing to the fulfillment of climate goals, and stimulating Brazil's sustainable economic growth.
