Bioeconomia no Novo Governo Lula: Avanços Regulatórios e Institucionais

The document analyzes the shift in Brazil's bioeconomy governance since 2023, highlighted by the creation of the National Bioeconomy Strategy and the National Bioeconomy Secretariat within the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MMA). It categorizes bioeconomy into three visions—biotechnological, bio-resources, and bio-ecological—noting that the current national strategy primarily aligns with the bio-ecological vision. The report details new regulatory frameworks such as the 'Fuel of the Future' law and various sustainable production programs, while mapping the transversal roles of multiple ministries (including MDIC, Fazenda, and MCTI) in coordinating the transition to a low-carbon economy.

• The Brazilian government established the National Bioeconomy Strategy via Decree No. 12,044 on June 5, 2024, to coordinate public policies for bioeconomy development in collaboration with the private sector and civil society.
• The National Bioeconomy Strategy defines bioeconomy primarily through a 'bio-ecological' lens, emphasizing the sustainable use, regeneration, and conservation of biodiversity, while the 'bio-resources' vision is only explicitly addressed through guidelines on biomass processing and decarbonization.
• The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MMA) has moved from a secondary role to a leading position in bioeconomy governance with the creation of the National Bioeconomy Secretariat (SNB), which coordinates the National Bioeconomy Strategy and the forthcoming National Bioeconomy Development Plan (PNDBio).
• Several new regulatory frameworks were introduced since 2023 to support different bioeconomy sectors, including the 'Fuel of the Future' law for transport decarbonization, the National Productive Forests Program for socio-biodiversity, and the National Food Supply Policy for sustainable food systems.
• Bioeconomy governance in Brazil is now transversal, involving a joint coordination between the MMA, the Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services (MDIC), and the Ministry of Finance (MF).
• The Brazilian presidency of the G20 in 2024 led to the creation of the G20 Initiative on Bioeconomy (GIB), which has increased the domestic traction and inter-ministerial collaboration for the development of the PNDBio.
