Brazil Country Programme

UK PACT is partnering with Brazil, a country with a strong commitment to action on climate change and sustainable growth.

Brazil and the UK’s mutual recognition of the need to show leadership in combating climate change whilst promoting social development, jobs and economic growth, represents an opportunity to develop broader and deeper bilateral relations, through the UK PACT Country Funds offer.

The Brazil-UK PACT Country Fund, aims to build on existing climate programming by exploring new areas where Brazil and the UK can collaborate on reducing emissions and promoting low-carbon development, including support for the implementation of Brazil’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).

UK PACT has already delivered 16 projects and 5 skill-shares in Brazil. A further 15 projects are currently live, focused on mobilising green investments, increasing the economic value of standing forests and making forest products and services a driver of sustainable livelihoods and green growth.
