In preparation for COP30, to be held in Bel\u00e9m in November 2025, ABAG organized the forum \"Towards COP30: Agribusiness and Climate Change,\" which brought together diverse voices with different perspectives around three central questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
a- How can agriculture contribute to the climate change adaptation and mitigation agenda? As a result of the discussions, a document was prepared that compiles the main conclusions and contributions of the participants and highlights how the agricultural sector can be an agent of transformation in the climate change adaptation and mitigation agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It addresses strategies for unlocking climate finance and explores solutions that expand access to financial resources and drive sustainable innovation. The document explores how the sector can effectively integrate into carbon credit trading, contributing to a low-carbon global economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Se detallan estrategias clave para la adaptaci\u00f3n eficaz en los agrosistemas tropicales, como el aumento de la eficiencia en el uso de la tierra, la mejora de la eficiencia en el uso de los recursos h\u00eddricos y los nutrientes y se indica que Brasil ha implementado pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas para mitigar las emisiones de GEI, como el Plan Nacional de Adaptaci\u00f3n al Cambio Clim\u00e1tico (PNAMC) y el Plan ABC+ 3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The document's main conclusions show that the Brazilian agricultural sector plays a strategic role in the global climate agenda, particularly in climate change mitigation and adaptation. It highlights that agribusiness can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through sustainable practices, carbon sequestration, and the development of innovative technologies. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of strengthening climate finance and expanding the sector's capacity to access international resources and carbon credits. To this end, the development of robust metrics and indicators to assess its mitigation and adaptation results is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the opportunities and benefits associated with generating carbon credits to be effectively realized, it is essential to consider the local specificities of the territories where the projects will be implemented. One of the main obstacles to the expansion of this market in the country is the lack of methodologies and metrics truly adapted to the Brazilian tropical reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The document emphasizes that the effective integration of the sector into the carbon market, along with appropriate public policies and the adoption of sustainable practices, are key to positioning Brazil as a relevant player in the fight against climate change, promoting sustainable and resilient development in accordance with international commitments, such as the Paris Agreement and COP30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The document's main recommendations emphasize the need to strengthen the integration of the agricultural sector into climate finance policies and mechanisms, in addition to promoting sustainable practices that facilitate climate change mitigation and adaptation. Specifically, the following recommendations are made:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These recommendations aim to consolidate Brazil's position as a leading example of low-emission agriculture, generating environmental sustainability, food security, and responsible economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
b- How can we free up financing for the agricultural sector?
c- How does agribusiness relate to the carbon market?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
