Mapeamento Institucional e das Políticas de Transição Climática Justa na Agropecuária Brasileira

The report analyzes the institutional framework and policies of the Brazilian agricultural sector regarding climate change. It distinguishes between mitigation and adaptation policies and evaluates whether they incorporate 'justice elements'—such as prioritizing family farming, increasing income for vulnerable producers, and promoting gender and racial equity. The mapping identifies the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) as the primary actor, while noting a lack of a dedicated national strategy for a just transition in agriculture.

• Agricultural activities account for 25% of Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions, and the sector is simultaneously vulnerable to extreme temperature and precipitation events.
• Climate-focused policies in the sector increased significantly after 2010, following the 2009 National Policy on Climate Change (PNMC) and the subsequent Low Carbon Agriculture Plan (Plano ABC).
• Three specific policies are identified as combining low-carbon transition goals with social justice elements: the National Policy on Agroecology and Organic Production (PNAPO), the National Policy for Planted Forests, and the National Policy for Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration.
• The Pronaf ABC+ credit line is the only credit policy that simultaneously incorporates justice elements and a transition to low-carbon agriculture.
• The Plano ABC/ABC+ currently restricts technical assistance and training to large producers, creating a gap for small-scale and family farmers.
• Governance of climate policies is fragmented across four ministries, with the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) acting as the primary implementer, though Brazil lacks a centralized national strategy for a just transition in agriculture.
