GUIA DE MELHORES PRÁTICAS PARA EMITIR TÍTULOS VERDES

This guide by the Climate Bonds Initiative provides a framework for issuing certified green bonds within the Brazilian agricultural sector, aligning investments with the goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

• The Climate Bonds Standard and Certification Scheme is a voluntary labeling system for debt instruments, investments, and entities designed to align with the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. As of January 2023, the scheme has been applied to hundreds of debt instruments totaling 260 billion dollars in equivalents.
• In Brazil, the agricultural sector has seen three certified emissions from the Climate Bonds Initiative. The first was a Green CRA (Certificado de Recebíveis do Agronegócio) issued by Rizoma Agro in August 2020, followed by emissions from Solinftec and Produzindo Certo.
• The certification process for agricultural bonds consists of three main stages: Pre-issuance (identifying eligible resources, creating a green bond framework, and engaging a verifier), Issuance (obtaining the verification report, engaging investors and media, and listing on platforms like Nasdaq or IADB), and Post-Issuance (submitting a verification report within 12-24 months and annual update reports).
• Eligible agricultural projects and assets are categorized into three routes: whole production units, interventions within the production unit (for mitigation or adaptation/resilience), and off-farm support activities. Mitigation criteria include no land conversion after January 10, 2010, and no clearing of woody vegetation over 3 meters high after 2020.
• To estimate emissions, the guide lists several acceptable calculators, including Carbon Benefits, the EX-ACT Tool, the Cool Farm Tool, and GHG Protocol Agricultural Guidance tools. For supply chains, the AtSource Ecological Calculator is acceptable, as are Verra's Sustainable Agriculture and Land Management methodologies.
• Impact reporting metrics for agriculture may include the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, reduction in the use of fertilizers, conservation of biodiversity and ecosystems, reduction of degraded and deforested areas, and conservation of soil and biomass.
