The Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Marina Silva, participated in the first CEBDS Leaders' Council of 2023, held on February 14. The former Minister of Finance, former president of BNDES and observer of the Leaders' Council, Joaquim Levy was also present at the meeting.
Alongside 29 CEOs of large associated companies, CEBDS president Marina Grossi discussed how the government and private sector can work together to promote sustainable development, highlighting topics such as the creation of a regulated carbon market and the importance of multi-level climate governance.
Two topics that are in the business sector's proposal to the government were addressed by the minister: strategies for advancing basic sanitation and energy transition.
Actions such as the creation of forums focused on climate issues, such as the National Council on Climate Change, and the challenges that still need to be overcome by Brazil to lead the transition to a greener and more inclusive economy were also on the agenda.
Held since 2015, the CEBDS Leaders Council aims to bring together executives and representatives of large companies, with the proposal of focusing on themes that unite the productivity of goods and services with the conservation of the planet and the quality of life in Brazil.
