MEDIA HIGHLIGHTS – CEBDS

Climate crisis is an economic certainty, says former UK minister.

In Valor Econômico, an interview with Lord Deben, former UK Environment Minister, argues that the climate transition has ceased to be a political choice and has become a practical necessity for competitiveness. He will deliver the keynote speech at the Sustainable Congress 2026, promoted by CEBDS in Rio, and highlights Brazil's potential for leadership in the climate agenda.

‘'We need to use our clean energy as the foundation for a new industry,' says Marina Grossi.

In an interview with Estadão, Marina Grossi, president of CEBDS, argues that Brazil should use its clean energy as the basis for a new industry, embedding low carbon into the final price of products such as steel and SAF (Sustainable Agricultural Production). She also points to land regularization as an urgent issue and suggests incorporating bioeconomy, biodiversity, and social inclusion into the value of carbon credits exported by the country.

Civil society and businesses are leading the way in sustainability, but are hampered by a lack of unified public leadership.

In Estadão, an article shows that civil society and companies have already understood Brazil's potential to lead the global offering of green solutions, but are hampered by the lack of a unified state policy, and highlights statements by Marina Grossi, president of CEBDS, on how sustainability is crucial to adding value to Brazilian products.
