Climate Policy Programme Brazil (PoMuC)

The Climate Policy Programme supports the Brazilian government in successfully achieving its medium- and long-term greenhouse gas reduction targets. In cooperation with the Ministry of Environment, a national REDD+ strategy is being implemented and a Federal Programme for Payments for Environmental Services is being developed. Improving elements of a transparency system provides further information on the climate policy progress. Together with the Ministry of Economy, capacities in the areas of greenhouse gas reporting, climate finance and "green" growth are being strengthened. The continuous exchange of experience between relevant actors, systematic knowledge management and digital tools additionally contribute to a more efficient and targeted implementation of climate policy measures.
