UK PACT is supporting Brazil’s leadership at COP30 by delivering strategic technical assistance projects focused on climate action. From digital platforms that enhance inclusive governance to science-based diplomacy and forest preservation initiatives, UK PACT is helping Brazil shape an inclusive and low-carbon future. Through partnerships with key ministries, the programme is unlocking finance, promoting innovation, and generating policy inputs that will be showcased at COP30.
UK PACT is actively working to overcome barriers and unlock transformative opportunities with its extensive and high impact projects. For example, A project that's been implemented in Brazil is supporting its Emissions Trading System (SBCE) and leadership in voluntary carbon credits.
In addition, the portfolio has projects integrating REDD+, reforestation, and land management into high-integrity systems, which can help Brazil drive decarbonisation and attract climate finance. Its vast natural assets support innovation in bioeconomy and nature-based solutions, while restoration and sustainable agriculture draw international partnerships.
As COP30 host and G20/BRICS leader, Brazil holds geopolitical leverage to shape global climate policy. Its competitive renewable energy sector—spanning wind, solar, and hydro—also offers immense potential for clean energy expansion. Besides, the growing demand for environmental finance and technology positions Brazil to lead in climate-smart products and green investment. UK PACT continues to support these efforts, fostering resilience and inclusive growth. Find out more about some of our current projects supporting COP30 below.
