Mato Grosso do Sul launches international call to develop carbon‑credit market

The state-owned company MS Ativos Ambientais issued Edital de Chamamento Público 001/2026, inviting a national or international partner to structure, certify, commercialise and manage carbon‑credit projects generated in Mato Grosso do Sul. The partnership will cover ecological restoration, nature‑based solutions, REDD+ and the state‑jurisdictional REDD+ programme.

The selected investor‑partner must create a Special‑Purpose Entity, provide the financing required for project development and certification, and operate the international sale of verified credits, while a rule forbids pre‑selling uncertified credits. The initiative aims to attract private capital, ensure transparent governance and deliver benefits to traditional communities, indigenous peoples and family farmers. Secretary Artur Falcette, who presented the call during London Climate Action Week, said: “Esse primeiro edital … está aberto para instituições nacionais e internacionais que atuem nessa área.”
