Climate Policy Programme Brazil II (PoMuC II)

As part of the German-Brazilian ‘Partnership for a socially just and ecological transformation’, the project supports ecological and socially just change through transformative climate governance in close cooperation with Brazilian partner ministries and institutions at federal and state level. This includes the translation of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) into concrete sector targets and action plans. The focus is on strengthening political decision-makers. The project also supports the improved allocation of and access to financial resources to support climate initiatives. It serves as a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experience between different levels and sectors. Of particular importance is the thematic focus on energy transition, climate justice and biodiversity across the entire project.

State of implementation/results

PoMuC II serves as the IKI interface project in Brazil.
The Brazil’s Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Sectorial Plans were officially launched in March 2026. PoMuC II continues to provide technical support to the Committee on Climate Change (CIM) and its working groups and supports the National Climate Governance to consolidate its advisory chambers (Scientific, Interfederative Coordination and Social Participation).
In May, with methodological support from PoMuC II, the state of Amazonas started the participatory development of the Strategic Action Matrix for the Amazonas State Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Plan, bringing together strategic state agencies and institutions to discuss, validate, and prioritise actions aimed at the state climate agenda.
Technical support was provided to the Indigenous NDC initiative, including efforts to enable its future inclusion as an annex to Brazil’s official NDC. Through the Kuntari Katu Program, 30 Indigenous representatives were trained on the three Rio Conventions and on international negotiation processes.
PoMuC II is supporting the development of IndicaClima, the MMA’s climate transparency platform, integrating data flows, indicators and reporting functions aligned with the Committee on Climate Change (CIM) Working Groups.
In partnership with the National School of Public Administration (ENAP), the project launched, in June 2026, the first specialisation on climate change for public servants. The 18-month course is being implemented as a pilot, and, depending on its results and evaluation, may be incorporated into ENAP’s portfolio of postgraduate courses.
PoMuC II advanced innovation and climate finance through the Climate Innovation Hub, implemented with Impact Hub São Paulo and Catalyst 1.5. The Hub accelerated 15 start-ups with mentoring, networking and investor access. Three finalists, Apoena Bioindustrial, ForestFi, and Genera, received financial support and showcased their solutions at COP30. The project also co-organised the Climate Tech Investment Summit and supported the Sustainable Innovation Forum ahead of COP 30, bringing together global leaders to drive sustainable investment and green innovation. In parallel, PoMuC II is developing a Climate Fund methodology that combines cost-effectiveness with criteria for climate justice, gender equity and social inclusion.
Additional results include the launch of an updated Committee on Climate Change (CIM) website and a widely used Climate Communication Guide, as well as a national climate perception baseline study conducted ahead of COP30 and the www.IKIbrasil.com website to communicate the IKI portfolio (also in Portuguese).
The 9th IKI Brazil Meeting took place in May and five Communities of Practice within the IKI network, as well as an “IKI Manifesto” to communicate the IKI portfolio in Brazil, were created. The National Climate Plan was presented to and discussed with participants with an emphasis on how to implement the plan.
