In Brazil, bioeconomy[1]<\/a><\/sup> has emerged as a new paradigm for economic development, based on the sustainable use of biodiversity to generate wealth, with inclusion and social justice, while respecting traditional peoples. To make this model viable, it is essential to mobilize public and private resources at scale, to guarantee the necessary finance for it to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To this end, researchers from Climate Policy Initiative\/Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (CPI\/PUC-RIO) analyzed and quantified the financial flows disbursed between 2021 and 2023 to boost the bioeconomy in Brazil. This analysis identifies the amount directed by public and private sources of funds, both domestic and international, and specifies the channels of disbursement, the financial instruments used, and the financed sectors.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exercise makes it possible to monitor the evolution of bioeconomy resources and assess whether they are increasing in a way that is compatible with Brazil\u2019s National Bioeconomy Strategy (Estrat\u00e9gia Nacional de Bioeconomia<\/em>),[2]<\/sup><\/a> identifying finance gaps and designing more effective investment strategies to foster innovations that value products compatible with the forest and other forms of native vegetation and boost a just, resilient, and low-carbon economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This resource tracking considers bioeconomy in its broadest sense, as a production model based on the use of biological and renewable resources for the production of food, energy, inputs, materials and other goods and services. In this broader concept, bioeconomy encompasses several sectors, including crops and native crop extraction, planted forests, biotechnology, bioproducts, bioenergy, and biofuels.\nThe result of this tracking identifies consolidated instruments that finance significant amounts of money for bioeconomy sectors, with extensive participation by private actors and important action by public authorities. Delving deeper into these instruments and the role of financial actors in this agenda shows that it is possible to expand finance for strategic bioeconomy sectors that are currently underfunded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
