Investment Opportunities Agri-food sector in Brazil

This report by the Climate Bonds Initiative outlines a framework for investors to identify credible transition opportunities in Brazil's agri-food sector. It emphasizes the need for entity-level transition plans aligned with 1.5°C goals, using case studies of Syngenta and Amaggi to demonstrate the application of the 'Triple A' (Ambition, Action, Accountability) framework. The report also analyzes Brazilian financial instruments like LCAs and CRAs and highlights the impact of international regulations like the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) on Brazilian exports.

• 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.
• Climate Bonds Initiative has established a 'Triple A' transition plan framework consisting of Ambition, Action, and Accountability. This framework uses five 'Hallmarks' to assess if a company is willing, able, and transparent about moving toward a sustainable future, shifting the focus from project-specific criteria to a holistic, entity-wide approach.
