The Meat Agenda

The report exposes how Brazil's powerful agribusiness sector uses political capture and greenwashing to avoid climate accountability, specifically by omitting agricultural methane from the country's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and lobbying to weaken environmental protections ahead of COP30.

• Brazil's agriculture sector is the country's primary source of climate pollution, accounting for 74% of total emissions and 75.6% of methane emissions. In 2023, enteric fermentation alone produced 405 million tonnes of CO2e, a figure exceeding the total emissions of Italy's economy.
• There is a significant gap in Brazil's climate commitments as agricultural methane is entirely omitted from the country's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), despite Brazil being a signatory to the Global Methane Pledge.
