Brazil

Implementation period: 2025-2028 Funding amount: US$3 million Window: Implementation

In December 2024, Brazil adopted Law N° 15042, which provides a framework for the Brazilian carbon market, including a national Emissions Trading System (ETS), or Sistema Brasileiro de Comércio de Emissões de Gases de Efeito Estufa (SBCE). The SBCE Law sets the foundations for a comprehensive carbon pricing package, including a mandatory monitoring, reporting and verification system, to help ensure that Brazil meets its greenhouse gas emission reduction targets set out in its climate commitments.  In addition to establishing an ETS, the SBCE Law establishes a process to facilitate the use of carbon credits to meet trading system liabilities and a process for determining whether credits can be transferred internationally under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. The PMI is supporting the Government of Brazil in implementing the law. This included support in 2024 through a Just-in-Time grant to develop the SBCE Implementation Roadmap.
