CEBDS delivered to the Brazilian parliamentarians present at the COP23, in Bonn, Germany, the open letter “Private Sector Supports Carbon Pricing in Brazil“. The delivery took place this Wednesday (15) and was made by the coordinator of the Thematic Chamber of Energy and Climate Change, Laura Albuquerque, to Senator Jorge Viana.
Viana leads the Permanent Joint Committee on Climate Change of the National Congress which, together with the Environment Committees of the Federal Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, promoted the panel “The agenda of the Brazilian parliament and the implementation of the Climate Agreement by Brazil” at COP23.
The letter was prepared by Business Initiative on Climate (IEC) with support from Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition (CPLC), an initiative of the World Bank. The letter, signed by approximately 25 CEOs and CFOs of large companies and organizations, advocates the establishment of a pricing mechanism appropriate to the characteristics of the economy and the country's GHG emissions profile. In this way, it is intended to encourage investments, ensure the competitiveness of companies and stimulate low-emission technological innovation in Brazil.
