CRESCIMENTO ECONÔMICO MAIS SUSTENTÁVEL PARA O BRASIL

The report argues that Brazil can align its economic growth with climate commitments by increasing agricultural productivity on degraded lands, diversifying its energy matrix with renewables, and improving transport infrastructure. It concludes that the financial returns of climate-friendly investments will outweigh the costs, with specific opportunities to double agricultural production without further deforestation and reduce total energy system costs through decarbonization.

• Brazil can double its agricultural production without any additional deforestation by promoting the conversion of degraded pastures into agricultural land and improving productivity gains.
• The implementation of the Forest Code acts as a market signal that encourages the intensification of land use and technological adoption, which helps increase productivity while protecting native vegetation.
• Decarbonizing Brazil's energy supply is economically viable; achieving NDC goals by 2030 would require an investment approximately 10% lower than a 'business-as-usual' (non-NDC) scenario, while full decarbonization would require an investment 18% lower than the non-NDC scenario.
• Brazil's energy efficiency policies have been reactive and focused primarily on residential consumption, leaving a significant gap in the industrial sector, which is the primary consumer of energy.
• The transport sector is heavily dependent on roads, which account for 92% of total emissions, 65% of all goods transport, and 85.7% of all public passenger transport.
• Investments in freight transport infrastructure are highly cost-effective; a one-time investment of nearly 2% of 2017 GDP would yield annual financial benefits of 0.8% of GDP, meaning costs would be recovered in three years.
• BNDES estimated that addressing urban mobility infrastructure would cost R$ 234 billion (4.8% of 2014 GDP), but this investment represents only 20% of the annual costs citizens lose due to travel time.
