The Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEBDS) assumed, last Monday, May 21, the co-leadership of the Long-Term Thematic Chamber, of the Brazilian Climate Change Forum (FBMC). The CT aims to discuss strategic issues for low-emissions development and contribute to the development of proposed Long-Term Strategies for Low-Greenhouse Gas Development (LTS 2050). Together with CEBDS, WRI, and Instituto Escolhas, they are co-leaders.
“When the Brazilian NDC was launched, the private sector sought to understand the opportunities and challenges that the topic represented for companies and CEBDS launched the study 'Opportunities and Challenges of the Brazilian NDC Goals for the Business Sector', in partnership with the We Mean Business. In a second phase, in partnership with the Climate and Society Institute (iCS), we launched the study 'Long-term low-carbon development strategy', in order to contribute to the dialogue and point out solutions for implementing the theme by 2050”, explains the Director of Institutional Development at CEBDS, Ana Carolina Szklo, when addressing the council’s contributions to the theme.
The panel of the sixth CT meeting was composed of Ana Carolina Szklo (Director of Institutional Development at CEBDS), Sérgio Leitão (Instituto Escolhas), Juliana Speranza (WRI), Alfredo Sirkis (Coordinator of FBMC) and Branca Americano (International Institute for Sustainability – IIS).
The LTS is provided for in the Paris Agreement, which recommends that signatory countries present their low-emission development strategies for the 2050 horizon. The Brazilian Climate Change Forum, through the Long-Term Thematic Chamber, is preparing a proposal for the LTS 2050, as society's contribution to the issue.
