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

This 2023 report by the Climate Policy Initiative maps Brazil's agricultural policies for climate mitigation and adaptation, evaluating their alignment with 'just transition' principles. It finds that while a framework exists—largely driven by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) and the Plano ABC—justice elements are often limited to specific programs like Pronaf ABC+ and PNAPO. The report highlights a critical need to extend technical assistance to small-scale farmers and improve coordination between the ministries of agriculture, agrarian development, environment, and social assistance.

• Agricultural activities account for 25% of Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions, and the sector is simultaneously a contributor to and a victim of the climate crisis, facing increasingly frequent extreme temperature and precipitation events.
• The Brazilian government's climate-focused agricultural policies became concentrated after 2010, following the 2009 National Policy on Climate Change (PNMC) and the subsequent creation of the Low Carbon Agriculture Plan (Plano ABC).
• A 'just climate transition' in agriculture is defined as reducing carbon emissions while ensuring that the transition does not increase distortions between different producer groups or exclude the most vulnerable, such as family farmers, traditional peoples, and land reform settlers.
• Three specific policies are identified as being primarily focused on low-carbon transition while incorporating 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.
• Pronaf ABC+ is the only credit line that combines elements of social justice with the goal of transitioning to low-carbon agriculture for small family farmers.
• Governance of these policies is shared across four ministries, with the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) acting as the primary implementer, managing seven of the 15 mapped policies.
• The report identifies a gap in technical assistance and training; while the ABC/ABC+ Plan provides these services, they are currently restricted to large producers, excluding small farmers and Pronaf beneficiaries.
