Climate change can cause losses in agriculture, livestock farming, energy generation, and also in the Gross Domestic Product, which is the sum of all values and goods and services produced in Brazil.
The reduction in environmental impacts, the reduction of pollutant gas emissions into the atmosphere and the preservation of the environment will ensure that the Brazilian economy prospers in the coming decades, as pointed out by researchers from the Network of Experts in Nature Conservation. Climatologist Carlos Nobre warns of the importance of complying with the Paris Agreement, which aims to curb greenhouse gas emissions in the context of sustainable development, otherwise Brazil would soon cease to be the agricultural powerhouse it is today.
“If the temperature rises between 3°C and 4°C, Brazil will no longer be able to maintain significant agricultural production. Perhaps only the South Region will be able to do so. Livestock production will also decline significantly,” says Carlos Nobre.
