Brazil: New Plan for Climate Change Adaptation and Low Carbon Emission in Agriculture

On April 20, 2021, the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply (MAPA) announced the Sectoral Plan for Climate Change Adaptation and Low Carbon Emission in Agriculture Seeking Sustainable Development (2020-2030), called ABC+. The plan builds on a previous edition (ABC 2010-2020) and seeks to consolidate Brazilian agriculture on the basis of sustainable, resilient, and productive systems. MAPA sees the ABC+ Plan as an instrument that promotes sustainable agriculture through strategies of adaptation and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. A forthcoming document that will set the actions and quantitative goals for the Plan will be released in the third quarter of 2021.
