Roteiro de Financiamento Climático Para Investimentos na América Latina e no Caribe - Anexos

The document outlines a comprehensive methodology for evaluating investment risks and attributes in the livestock sector across Latin America and the Caribbean, specifically distinguishing between small-scale and large-scale commercial farms. It establishes a scoring system across six risk categories—governance, financing, physical climate, market, infrastructure, and nature—and compares these against the risk tolerances of public and private investors. The annexes also model three financial scenarios: Business-as-Usual (BAU), Enhanced Financial Strategies (IFS), and Enhanced Financial and Policy Strategies (IFPS), predicting how targeted interventions can shift capital composition from predominantly public to increased private investment. Geographic analysis highlights Brazil's relative stability and market dominance, while noting higher risks in Argentina and Mexico.

• The methodology evaluates investment risk across six categories: governance, financing, physical climate, market, infrastructure, and nature, using a quartile-based scoring system where 1 is 'Very low' and 4 is 'High'.
• Investment risks are adjusted based on farm size, with large commercial farms receiving a -1 absolute value adjustment for physical climate, market, infrastructure, and nature risks due to their greater capacity to mitigate these risks through infrastructure and market access.
• Investment attributes differ significantly by scale: large farms typically have a 5-10 year investment horizon, ticket sizes of US$ 5-10 million, and target returns of 15-25%, whereas small farms have a 10-15 year horizon, ticket sizes of US$ 0-1 million, and returns of 5-15%.
• In the Business-as-Usual (BAU) scenario, climate finance for the region is heavily skewed toward public funding, with public capital midpoints ranging from 76% in Brazil to 87% in Argentina and Mexico.
• The Enhanced Financial and Policy Strategies (IFPS) scenario predicts a shift toward private capital, with the private funding midpoint for large farms in Brazil increasing to 50% compared to the BAU scenario.
• Brazil is identified as the largest meat producer in the region, accounting for approximately half of the total regional production, and is noted for having a more stable macroeconomic environment than Argentina or Mexico.
• Small-scale farms in Brazil are highly significant for food security, representing 85% of all properties and producing over two-thirds of the country's food.
• Current tracked climate finance flows for sustainable livestock in Latin America and the Caribbean are estimated at approximately US$ 100 million per year (2021-2022), though this is likely an underestimate due to gaps in private sector reporting.
