How Brazil can align public planning and resources to meet climate goals

Abstract

Objective – Dialogues on environmental protection have intensified, especially due to the gap between practical actions and the fulfillment of the United Nations' (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Brazil is a signatory to international environmental agreements and, therefore, has a duty to implement actions that meet the goals of the 2030 Agenda, with emphasis on SDGs 13, 14, and 15, in addition to achieving the targets established by the Paris Agreement.
