Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for the Brazilian Agriculture and Livestock Sector

The document describes the evolution of Brazil's agricultural climate policy, moving from the 2010 Low-Carbon Agriculture Plan (ABC Plan) to the 2021 Sectoral Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change and Low Carbon Emissions (ABC+). The ABC+ Plan, covering 2020 to 2030, integrates an 'Integrated Landscape Approach' to manage rural land and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To refine these strategies, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA) developed the 'Conceptual Framework for Assessing the Adaptation Strategies of Agriculture and Livestock Systems to Climate Change' (CF) in 2021. The resulting Adaptation Strategy proposes specific Adaptation Initiatives (AIs) across the CF's axes, utilizing principles, criteria, and indicators to monitor progress and report outcomes at national and international levels.

• The ABC+ Plan, which serves as a continuation of the 2010 ABC Plan for the 2020-2030 period, aims to balance sustainable development and adaptive capacity with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the improvement of economic gains.
• The current phase of Brazil's agricultural strategy incorporates an Integrated Landscape Approach, emphasizing that adaptation is essential for the sector and that land management must account for various elements of the rural landscape.
• In 2021, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA) created the Conceptual Framework for Assessing the Adaptation Strategies of Agriculture and Livestock Systems to Climate Change (CF) to guide the creation of strategies that enhance system resilience.
• The Climate Change Adaptation Strategy for the Brazilian Agriculture and Livestock Sector utilizes Adaptation Initiatives (AIs) and a system of indicators and verifiers to monitor and report the progress of resilience-building actions.
