Climate

We are experiencing the urgent challenge of facing the climate emergency, preventing the global temperature from rising more than 1.5°C. In this scenario, the business sector plays a crucial role and is already adopting mitigation measures.

About

Through CT Clima, CEBDS seeks to promote leadership in the business sector towards the transition to a low-carbon economy through business engagement and effective climate policies, aiming at sustainable and inclusive development. To achieve this goal, we focus our efforts on climate neutrality, acting on three main fronts: connection and collaboration; advocacy and capacity building.

CT Clima acts as a catalyst for the engagement of the business sector in actions related to climate governance, seeking multi-level articulations to align corporate strategies with public policies and international commitments, such as the Paris Agreement through topics such as corporate transition plans, implementation of NDCs and the path towards Net Zero.

 

Goals

  • Provide a secure platform for CEBDS companies to come together to exchange knowledge, experience and best practices; to facilitate partnerships and undertake initiatives aimed at practicing climate responsibility.
  • Provide information, guidance, products and tools that help CEBDS companies to implement, measure and communicate efforts related to tackling the climate issue.
  • Increase dialogue between the public and private sectors in building a common agenda on climate change, proactively representing the vision of CEBDS companies on issues related to climate change, in debates and formulation of public policies with governments and other interest groups.
  • Disseminate best practices, demonstrating the contribution of CEBDS member companies to mitigating the global warming phenomenon in a simple and understandable way.
  • Assist associated companies and the business ecosystem as a whole to adapt their production to a sustainable reality through training, quality information and engaged articulation with the most diverse sectors and participating entities (public authorities, national and international civil society, academia, etc.)
  • Catalyze the transformations necessary to face the climate issue, encouraging Brazilian companies to contribute to reversing the phenomenon of global warming.
