What is the Intersectoral Climate Center?
The Center is a platform for to boost decarbonization in Brazil and the implementation era. Bringing together 33 strategic levers, 190 indicators and 100 enabling actions, The Center monitors the progress and results of the Coalitions, offering an integrated view of sectoral progress. With continuously updated indicators and governance committees that meet monthly, the platform allows users to track results, identify obstacles, and assess the contribution of the Coalitions to emissions reduction.

""The climate emergency demands coordinated action between public authorities, the private sector, and civil society. It is a challenge that should mobilize everyone. The transportation sector in Brazil accounts for more than 10 percent of the country's global emissions, and dialogue among all actors in the chain is essential to transform the Coalition's action plan into concrete results for the sector's transition towards a low-carbon economy.""
“Brazil, in particular, produces minerals that are strategic for the decarbonization of the steel industry and for the electrification of the planet. By bringing together sectors that depend on each other, the Coalitions create a space to connect these different stages and accelerate advances that only happen when the entire chain moves in the same direction.”.
“Decarbonizing transportation requires planning, investments, and solutions that consider the diversity of Brazil's transportation matrix. [...] The participation of the Transportation System in this coalition reinforces the importance of dialogue between productive sectors to identify concrete paths, reconcile emissions reduction with operational efficiency, and strengthen Brazil's competitiveness.”
""The distribution of electricity is a cross-cutting element in the decarbonization of all sectors of the economy. Therefore, the energy transition requires integrated planning, infrastructure modernization, and regulatory and economic conditions that enable the necessary investments.""
“A principal contribuição do setor produtivo é transformar metas climáticas em trajetórias concretas de implementação. Para isso, é preciso trabalhar a cadeia de valor como um todo: tecnologia, energia, infraestrutura, financiamento, regulação, mercado e demanda. [...] E a experiência das Coalizões mostra a importância dessa visão transversal, justamente pela possibilidade de gerar sinergias por meio de uma coordenação multissetorial, engajados por um mesmo propósito.
“The study presented in 2025 shows that approximately 80% of emissions can be mitigated using already known levers. In this new phase, in addition to continuing our efforts to ensure the large-scale implementation of these levers, we are also working in an integrated manner with other coalitions because we realize that some cross-cutting themes can contribute to faster implementation and the overcoming of barriers.”
“A Coalizão dá um passo importante ao transformar esse desafio em uma agenda concreta de implementação ao conectar conhecimento, assistência técnica, acesso a financiamento e priorizar soluções que são transversais para grande parte das cadeias produtivas. É essa combinação que pode acelerar a transformação dos sistemas produtivos e fortalecer a agricultura brasileira no longo prazo”.
Timeline

2024-2025: Building the 2050 vision
GtCO₂e: 1 billion tons of greenhouse gases, measured in CO₂ equivalent. Inaction scenario: Projected emissions in 2050 without new mitigation actions.A pedido do Emb. André Corrêa do Lago, reunimos 270 organizações de 4 setores para mapear cerca de 150 levers climate transition, with mitigation potential of ~1.1 GtCO₂e/year in 2050, faced with a scenario of inaction.
-
2026: From vision to implementation
To translate the 2050 vision into a short-term agenda, Approximately were prioritized 30 levers with potential for mitigating ~0.9 GtCO₂e/year. Biofuels and electrification were defined as cross-cutting agendas.
-
Until 2030: Accelerate and keep up
With a focus on accelerating implementation, the Coalitions will act as permanent platform for coordination between sectors, with governance, indicators, and monitoring of progress.
