SEEG REPORTS

Analytical Report 2023

Brazil emitted 2.3 billion gross tons of greenhouse gases in 2022, measured in terms of potential global warming over one hundred years and according to the guidelines of the Fifth Assessment Report of the IPCC (GWP-100 AR5). This represented a decrease of 8% compared to 2021 when gross emissions were 2.5 billion tons.

Methane Reduction

Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas, 28 times more powerful than CO2 in warming the planet. At COP26, over a hundred countries signed the Global Methane Pledge, committing to reduce emissions by 30% by 2030. Brazil, the fifth-largest emitter of methane, can reduce its emissions by 36% by 2030, contributing to this global goal.

Atlantic Forest NDC

The Atlantic Forest is crucial for Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions. Strategies such as forest restoration, reduction of fossil fuel use, and implementation of low-carbon agricultural practices can significantly contribute to reducing emissions, driving a transition to a greener and more sustainable economy.

Food Systems in Brazil

Study on Food Systems in Brazil Through the Lens of Their Implications for Greenhouse Gas Emissions. This is a preliminary exercise in estimating greenhouse gas emissions for the entirety of food systems conducted specifically for the country.

Primary Data Gaps

Advancements Needed and Recommendations to Improve the Quality and Accessibility of Primary Data Relevant for Accurate Greenhouse Gas Emission Estimates. With full access, SEEG can contribute to better estimates, enabling emission reduction policies to be planned more accurately.

Pandemic and Emissions

In addition to human tragedies, Covid-19 has impacted Brazilian emissions, with increases in sectors such as livestock and reductions in energy and industry. However, total emissions in 2020 may increase due to deforestation in the Amazon, contradicting climate goals and requiring an integrated approach to the health and climate crises.

87 Solutions for Municipalities

List of solutions for mitigation (reduction, neutralization, or removal) of greenhouse gas emissions, or for local adaptation to the effects of climate change, considering different economic activities in municipalities (waste, electricity, urban mobility, agriculture, and land use change).

Basis for the NDC 2030

This document presents the construction of the emissions scenario until 2030 that underlies the proposal of the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) of OC, analyzing each sector of greenhouse gas emissions and removal sources. A pathway is indicated to achieve a level of net emissions of 400 MtCO2e by 2030.
