Despite the Brazilian Forest Code requiring state environmental agencies to verify the integrity of self-reported landowner data, progress in validating these records remained limited, even a decade after the Code's revision. Through SeloVerde MG and CAR 2.0, all 1,052,900 rural environmental registries have been automatically analysed, enhancing transparency in compliance with national legislation and supporting due diligence in relevant supply chains.
By integrating socio-environmental data from federal and state agencies, land-use maps, and satellite imagery, over 1 million rural properties were analysed, to assess compliance with Brazil's forest legislation. This enhanced transparency enables the Minas Gerais state government to plan and prioritise the regularization of non-conformities efficiently. In addition, agricultural stakeholders—including farmers, traders and international buyers—now have free access to comprehensive environmental reports to attest to free-deforestation and traceable agricultural products.
UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) is a unique capacity-building programme. Jointly governed and funded by the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) through the UK's International Climate Finance, it works in partnership with countries with high emissions reduction potential to support them to implement and increase their ambitions for tackling climate change.
