Investment Opportunities Agri-food sector in Brazil

The report provides a toolkit for assessing corporate transition plans in Brazil's agri-food sector, using case studies of Syngenta and Amaggi to illustrate the application of the 'Triple A' (Ambition, Action, Accountability) framework. It highlights Brazil's significant role as a GHG emitter, primarily through land use and livestock, and outlines various sustainable finance instruments available to fund the transition to net-zero.

• Brazil is the 7th largest global greenhouse gas (GHG) emitter, with gross emissions of 2.16 GtCO2e in 2020. Land use changes (46%) and agriculture (27%) are the primary sources, together accounting for nearly 75% of gross emissions, with cattle contributing over 90% of agricultural emissions.
• The Climate Bonds Initiative uses a 'Triple A' framework (Ambition, Action, and Accountability) consisting of five Hallmarks to evaluate the credibility of corporate transition plans. This approach shifts from project-specific criteria to a holistic, entity-wide assessment to ensure alignment with 1.5°C global warming limits.
