Brazil ecological transition study highlights energy and food system links

A study by Cebrap and Climainfo examines the scenarios and costs of an ecological transition in Brazil. The research highlights the urgent need to address the interdependence between energy and agro-food systems to effectively respond to the climate crisis.

The report suggests that Brazil faces two distinct paths: a partial energy transition focused solely on emissions, or a systemic ecological transition that integrates land use, biodiversity conservation, and critical mineral exploration. Such a transition could reposition the Brazilian economy within a global market increasingly focused on decarbonization and environmental assets.
