Sharm El Sheikh \u2013 This Monday (14), Brazilian civil society entities aligned with the private sector presented proposals in the environmental and climate areas for 2023 in a panel at the Brazil Climate Action Hub pavilion at COP27<\/strong> in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. The focus is on a socio-environmental schedule to prioritize sustainable economic development and the reduction of social inequalities.<\/p>\n

Specialists listed initiatives for Brazil to resume diplomatic leadership in climate issues. President-elect Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva will participate in COP27 on November 16 and 17, this week\u2019s Wednesday and Thursday.<\/p>\n

Representing 105 major companies, the president of the Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEBDS<\/strong>), Marina Grossi (pictured above, left<\/em>), spoke on the progress of the productive sector and what she called the consensus of companies committed to sustainability. Grossi presented a commitment to end illegal deforestation and benefit traditional communities, a document signed by 119 CEOs and 14 entities in the business sector, stating Brazil can preserve and produce at the same time.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur environmental asset has to leverage the social asset,\u201d said the representative of CEBDS. In this sense, carbon credits have the potential to make possible concrete actions to impact the daily lives of Brazilians. \u201cBiodiversity and climate are more intertwined in Brazil than in the rest of the world,\u201d said Grossi as she presented the summary of business sector proposals to representatives of the next Brazilian federal government.<\/p>\n

On behalf of 400 member companies, from academic representatives to human rights groups, the Ethos Institute<\/strong> suggested guidelines for the socio-environmental agenda to be worked on in a transversal way, with the resumption and revision of plans such as the Agenda 2030 and the UN\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in addition to stimulating the framework for legalization, income distribution, transparency and inclusion, climate and racial justice, fighting violence and strengthening the leadership of the most vulnerable populations.<\/p>\n

Marina Ferro, Executive Manager in Business Practices and Public Policies at the Ethos Institute, recalled, \u201csocio-environmental matters are written together, not separately,\u201d and argued that \u201ccompanies are essential players, and they need to bring in their compliance tools for consultation and dialogue with communities to strengthen processes, losses and damages, and increase transparency in production chains.\u201d<\/p>\n

The president of Igarap\u00e9 Institute<\/strong>, Illona Szab\u00f3, delivered a list of priorities centered on public security, governance, and control of environmental crimes.<\/p>\n

Sonia Guajajara, representing APIB<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For nine years ahead of the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil<\/strong> (APIB), Sonia Guajajara demanded the creation of the Ministry of Native Peoples, a promise made by Lula as a candidate for the presidency. \u201cIt is important the economic agenda is not dissociated from the environmental agenda,\u201d she said. For the representative-elect, one can no longer think of development as synonymous with deforestation, and it is crucial to have inclusive socio-environmental policies. She also spoke on the resumption of the demarcation of indigenous lands and quilombola territories in the country, the new government\u2019s commitment to zero deforestation, and the participation of indigenous leaders in decision-making.<\/p>\n

Representing the Brazil Climate, Forest, and Agriculture Coalition<\/strong>, executive director Jos\u00e9 Carlos da Fonseca Jr. presented a list of 28 recommendations for Brazil to reduce its emissions, mentioning the priority of access to financing, focus on low-carbon agriculture, resumption of the homologation of indigenous lands, climate funding and the creation of the National Climate Authority.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a country with the ambition and the opportunity to make a collective effort to include socio-environmental issues on the agenda,\u201d added Natalie Unterstell, president of the Talanoa Institute, representing the Climate and Development Initiative<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Other participating civil society representatives included Douglas Belchior, from Black Coalition for Rights; M\u00e1rcio Astrini, from Climate Observatory; and Renata Piazzon, from Uma Concerta\u00e7\u00e3o pela Amaz\u00f4nia.<\/p>\n

The event had full attendance and was held by the Climate and Society Insitute<\/strong> (iCS) and moderated by executive director Ana Toni. The panel included parliamentarians from different parties, representatives of the indigenous and black movements, and the private sector, who presented suggestions and concrete proposals. \u201cSociety is diverse, but all proposals go in the same direction,\u201d evaluated Ana Toni.<\/p>\n
