UNIDO’s Net Zero Partnership for Industrial Decarbonization (NZP-ID) is joining forces with five countries to accelerate the transition of energy-intensive industries like steel and cement toward a net-zero future: 1. Argentina: Designing cement industry decarbonization roadmaps and MRV systems. 2. Brazil: Driving policy, innovation, and investment through the Brazil-UK Industry Decarbonization Hub. 3. Morocco: Aligning industry targets with national climate plans and building finance strategies for key sectors. 4. Egypt: Helping CBAM-exposed sectors adopt low-emission pathways and stimulate local green demand. 5. Kenya: Strengthening MRV systems and embedding steel and cement targets into national climate policy. By combining capacity building, policy design, and financing strategies, NZP-ID adapts its support to each national context, while also enabling cross-country knowledge exchange. This work is made possible thanks to the International Climate Initiative, which supports climate and biodiversity action worldwide. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/giTK3PWB #NetZero #IndustrialDecarbonization #ClimateAction #Greensteel #Geencement

What an unforgettable moment! This Saturday, in the heart of Times Square – New York City, we officially launched the world’s first carbon credits from recycling through Green Mining. 🇧🇷♻️ Seeing our message up there, shining on the big screen, marks not just a milestone for Green Mining but for Brazilian innovation on the global stage. And this is just the beginning: this launch kicks off a marathon of meetings during New York Climate Week, where we’ll show how recycling with dignity can accelerate the circular economy and generate real climate impact. We are proving that recycling is not only social inclusion and environmental protection – it is also climate action. Every ton recycled avoids emissions, and now it can be turned into verified, auditable carbon credits. Let’s go further, together. The future is circular, transparent, and inclusive. ♻️ #GreenMining #CarbonCredits #Recycling #CircularEconomy #ClimateWeekNYC #BrazilInnovation #Impact

Today, we announce that we are investing DKK 197.7m in Latin American Agribusiness Development Corporation, S.A. (LAAD), supporting green loans that help farmers adopt climate-smart practices across 17 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. 🌱 Smallholder farmers are at the frontline of climate change while also holding the key to more sustainable food systems. 📽️ Watch the video where Managing Director Otto Vinther Christensen explains how banana farmers in Costa Rica are working to reduce water consumption through LAAD’s loans. Great job!

Earlier this month, our Department for Business and Trade team in Brazil, alongside UK Export Finance (UKEF), welcomed representatives from the São Paulo state government and over 40 British and Brazilian companies for a strategic discussion on future infrastructure and sanitation projects in the state. With up to £5 billion available in credit guarantees for the Brazilian market, UKEF shared practical solutions for companies aiming to secure financing to support large-scale projects. From highways and rail to water treatment and mobility, the portfolio of opportunities is impressive, and the potential for international collaboration is even greater. We were pleased to hear the perspective of companies such as ERM, whose representative Berguedof Sciulli joined us to share why UK-backed finance matters for long-term, sustainable infrastructure. Emma Thomas, from UKEF, also brought valuable insight into how British companies of all sizes can use UKEF’s offer to compete and deliver in Brazil. Thank you to everyone who joined the conversation and to those working behind the scenes to turn these discussions into real-world partnerships. #Infrastructure #Investment #Trade #SaoPaulo #Export

https://lnkd.in/eAz7CkXN Congratulations to Ana Toni. First an updated NDC that reflects Brazil's ambition to tackle climate change in their roll as holding the COP30 presidency. Then a comprehensive Plano Clima, a sector by sector climate plan that includes comprehensive measures to tackle emissions, with a large focus on methane. 1. Agriculture Sector Climate Plan Brazil’s agriculture sector emits over 70% of national methane. The Plano Clima for Agriculture integrates mitigation and adaptation with productivity and resilience. Key Strategies: Reduce livestock methane via improved feed, additives, manure management. Promote sustainable rice farming (aerobic, AWD). Use animal waste for bioenergy. 2. Waste Sector Climate Plan Waste accounts for ~16% of Brazil’s methane emissions. The plan targets solid waste and wastewater, with circular economy and urban environmental goals. Goals: Close open dumps, manage landfills. Boost selective collection, composting, recycling. Capture and use landfill/wastewater biogas. Measures: Promote landfill gas capture. Compost organic waste (~50% of solid waste). Expand anaerobic digestion and sludge use. Enforce producer responsibility. 3. Energy Sector Climate Plan Energy sector emits methane in oil and gas extraction. The plan promotes fossil reduction, renewables, and efficiency. Actions: Cut oil & gas methane via LDAR, end flaring, improve venting. Integrate biogas and biomethane into energy mix. Total mitigation associated to methane from agriculture, waste, and energy is roughly 62MTCO2e (GWP100) or 180MTCO2eq in GWP20. These measures show broad commitments in all sectors. Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Uruguay in the region have established strong measures to mitigate methane emissions in very difficult sectors.

Starting the day after tomorrow, on August 1st, a new 50% tariff on Brazilian pulp exports to the U.S. will reshape global trade flows in the pulp and paper sector. Brazilian producers are poised to pivot to China and Europe, where tariffs don’t apply, while U.S. buyers will turn to Latin American neighbors (Chile, Uruguay) and Canada/Europe for supply. Tissue producers reliant on Brazilian BHKP face rising input costs, sparking interest in onshoring or integration strategies. * Chile (Arauco, CMPC): Gains share with competitive BEKP and capacity to reroute to the U.S. * Uruguay (UPM): Ramps up pulp exports to the U.S. * Canada: softwood pulp steps in - it moves fast and moves cheap. * Europe (Iberia/Nordics): Surplus BHKP targets premium segments. That said — don’t panic just yet. Smart players likely built buffer stocks on U.S. soil. And if cooler heads strike a deal in the next few weeks, this might just remain a threat that never materializes. #pulp #pulpandpaper #pulpandpaperindustry #packaging #packagingindustry #strategy #tissue #paper #paperindustry #fiber #fibre #supply&demand #tissuepaper #competitiveness #tariffs #globaltrade #trades #marketpulp #BEKP #BHKP

Delighted to see that there was no default in the latest financing cycle of the Amazônia Viva Mechanism - an initiative seed-funded by Good Energies Foundation! This innovative mechanism, led by Natura in partnership with VERT Capital and Funbio - Fundo Brasileiro para a Biodiversidade, is pioneering a new way of financing socio-biodiversity in #Brazil's #Amazon. It combines two complementary instruments: First, a CRA (Agribusiness Receivables Certificate) that provides accessible credit for cooperatives and associations supplying Amazonian ingredients. Second, an Ecosystem Facilitation Fund that invests in technical assistance, infrastructure, conservation, and regeneration. Together, these instruments are strengthening over 40 cooperatives and associations across 16 Amazonian territories - directly benefiting more than 10,000 families, supporting sustainable supply chains, and conserving 3 million hectares of rainforest. Importantly, Natura also plays a dual role as both investor and purchaser, ensuring stable demand and fair markets for these communities. This matters because it demonstrates that traditional communities, when given the right financial structures and technical support, can be reliable partners in building sustainable economies and conserving vital ecosystems. With over R$ 13 million already disbursed in credit and capacity building - and 100% repayment - the model proves itself scalable and replicable. Now is the time for more venture philanthropies and impact investors to step up. The Amazon - and the world - need mechanisms like this to thrive. As proven by the Amazônia Viva Mechanism, it is possible to merge environmental conservation, financial inclusion, and economic development sustainably - yes, we can! 🙏🏾🌎🌳 Martha de Sá, CFA, Priscila Matta, Thais Ferraz, Renata Piazzon, Débora Alvarenga, Manuela Mosse Muanis, Daniela Prioli, Ricardo Gomes, Vinicius Ahmar. https://lnkd.in/dNrNPHkH
