At the same time, the nation\u2019s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) within the Paris Agreement represents an ambitious commitment to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>This report is based on economic and policy analysis by Climate Policy Initiative (CPI\/PUC-Rio) in Brazil in cooperation with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), Brazil\u2019s Ministry of Planning, Development and Management (MP), and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) by virtue of the technical cooperation project BR-T1377 InfraInvest: Sustainable Infrastructure for Brazil financed by the IDB. <strong>The report presents new evidence for policymakers and stakeholders. The analysts look at three sectors that are critical to creating a greener future for the nation: land use, energy, and transportation. For all three sectors, CPI delivers one message: promoting economic growth aligns with achieving Brazil\u2019s climate commitments.<\/strong> The opinions expressed in this work are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the IDB, its Board of Directors, or the countries they represent.<\/p>\n<p>The report indicates that Brazil has the potential to drive green economic growth by using its lands more productively, scaling-up action in renewable energy and energy efficiency, and reducing the time cargo spends in transit and Brazilian commuters waste in traffic.<\/p>\n<p>This report provides an economic analysis of the implementation of Brazil\u2019s NDC, maps the institutional and policy arrangements for each sector, and outlines evidence-based strategies that will deliver low-carbon growth to the nation and its citizens. What is needed are significant investments and consistent policies. <strong>The opportunity cost of doing nothing will be higher than the cost of new investments.<\/strong> The returns from new climate-friendly investments and policies will outweigh their expense and effort: investing now will propel Brazil\u2019s economy into a growing, more productive, and sustainable future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Based on economic and policy analysis by CPI\/PUC-Rio in cooperation with the Inter-American Development Bank , Brazil\u2019s Ministry of Planning, Development and Management, and the WWF, This report looks at three sectors that are critical to creating a greener future for the nation: land use, energy, and transportation.
