Representatives of companies and organizations gathered at the debate “Nature-based solutions as a lever for solving the climate crisis”, organized by CEBDS at the Brazil Climate Action Hub, in Glasgow, during COP26.
The business sector was represented by BRK Ambiental, Suzano and Bayer, who revealed the challenges and opportunities of the agenda. Also participating were Valerie Kapos, Head of Program at Climate Change and Biodiversity, and Henrique Luz, technical coordinator at CEBDS, who showed the importance of pioneering actions by companies to advance climate goals.
Nature-based solutions bring together two important and much debated points in the context of COP 26, climate change and the biodiversity crisis. For CEBDS, they will accelerate the achievement of goals in Brazil.
In the debate, which was opened by the technical manager of Climate and Finance at CEBDS, Natália Renteria, representatives of the private sector defended how sustainability needs to be present in all sectors of companies, in addition to how expanding the ambitions in this agenda brings benefits to business and society.
“Brazil has enormous potential for nature-based solutions. If we want to grow at this point we have to go to the real world and there are people there. Projects and solutions of an aggregate nature need to reflect the diversity of people”, highlighted Henrique.
The full debate is available on the Brazil Climate Action Hub. To continue following CEBDS's participation in COP26, check out the full agenda here. The program continues until November 11th.
