The UK Embassy will invest in eight environmental change and bioeconomy projects in Brazil. A joint announcement with the Brazilian government took place in Brasilia at the end of March. Thus, countries have signed eight climate-related partnerships.
Brazil's National Bioeconomy Secretariat is the organization responsible for the partnership. On the UK side, in addition to the country's embassy, all three ministries are participating in the project. But the partnership is a strategy between the two countries from 2023 on issues related to sustainable development and energy transition.
During this period, the United Kingdom has already invested more than R$3 billion through International Climate Finance (ICF) in Brazil. British Ambassador to Brazil Stephanie Al-Khaq said the partnership was the result of governments' shared vision that climate change exacerbates inequalities and that environmental change is a beacon for economic growth.
