Some of our achievements

The CBC organized the Ratifica Já! (Ratify Now!), the campaign which influenced decisively the ratification of the Paris Agreement in record time (two months passing in both Houses of Congress).   

From September 2016 to May 2019, the CBC was deeply involved, through the Brazilian Forum for Climate Change, in promoting a discussion (during two long years)  of an implementation road map for the Brazilian INDC with multi-stakeholders. Took part in this process, 537 participants and 247 organizations from government, NGOs, private sector and academy.  

The document The Initial Proposal for the Implementation of the Brazilian NDC  was handed to the Brazilian President, Congress, various ministers, and presidential candidates. The CBC also launched Carbon Neutral Brazil 2060,  a study developed in partnership with academy, which showing possible paths for net zero.

The CBC is also involved with the discussion of decarbonizing economics and takes part in the 108 Initiative  (referring to Paragraph 108 of the Paris Agreement). The Center published as well the book Moving the Trillions, a debate on positive pricing of mitigation actions.

Nowadays, there is a difficult political environment in Brazil, with the Federal Government being controlled by denialists or skeptics about climate change. Because of that, the CBC is prioritizing its work on the subnational level, with state governments, cities and civil society pushing forward the climate agenda.

We remain with a strong presence in the Brazilian media and its principal vehicles, we also keep developing our social network and value the organization of street interventions and demonstrations when necessary.
 
The CBC also focus on equipping people with knowledge and provides courses on climate change as well as on various environmental issues, for different kinds of audiences, including children and teenagers from private and public schools. CBC also has a strong partnership with the Climate Reality Project, presided by Al Gore, and develops projects with the Europe Union and UNEP, as well as a joint action with various both national and foreign NGOs.
