📋 Tender Overview
With a record volume of resources and extended reach, the National Climate Change Fund (Climate Fund) is consolidated as one of the main tools of the federal government to finance mitigation and adaptation to climate crisis. Linked to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MMA), the fund supports public and private projects through reimburseable and non -refundable modalities, focusing on areas such as clean energy, green urban mobility, green and bioeconomic industry, sustainable agriculture, native forests, agroforestry systems, water resources and development of sociobiodiversity production chains. The advances were presented on Wednesday (26/3), during the 37th Ordinary Meeting of the Climate Fund Management Committee. At the time, the MMA presented the execution reports and had approved the accountability of the operations carried out in 2024. We are talking about a historic leap.
The Climate Fund has consolidated itself as one of the main engines of Brazils ecological transformation. With the 2024 record investments, we take another firm step in facing climate emergency, said MMA substitute minister, Joao Paulo Capobianco. The result of the operations carried out in the non -refundable modality was presented by MMA. Seven projects were supported, selected through a notice, focusing on reducing the vulnerability to climate change in urban and rural areas, totaling R 4.7 million in funds intended. In the reimburseable mode, managed by BNDES, the transfer reached R 10.456 billion - a remaining volume than that registered in every previous years since the creation of the fund, in 2009, which had as an annual average the application of R 450 million. This increase in 23 times to what the Climate Fund has been applying, was made possible by the emission of sustainable sovereign titles by the National Treasury. Funded initiatives in various areas, highlighting solar and wind power generation (18 projects), manufacturing biofuels (5), public administration - focused on access to water, reduction of flood risks and public lighting (3), collective road transport (6) and 6) Sustainable lithium processing (1), in addition to a broad and diverse set of 177 projects on other fronts. The number of federation units benefited from the initiative, expanded the funds range in the North, Northeast and Midwest. In the Northeast region, there was an increase of 36 times in approved financing values, jumping from R 51 million by 2022 to R 1.85 billion by 2024. In the Midwest, approved amounts were R 129 million in 2022 to 2.1 billion by 2024. Operations approved in 2024 have the potential to prevent 86.6 million tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent gas-equivalent gas nine months of emissions from the metropolitan region of Sao Paulo. In the project implementation phase, the expectation is to generate about 52 thousand jobs.
With the significant results of 2024, the Climate Fund projects itself as the protagonist of the Brazilian environmental policy in 2025. The strengthening of investments and the expansion of territorial reach indicates a new level of commitment to the climate schedule. It is expected that, in the next cycles, the fund follows by boosting innovative solutions, mobilizing different sectors of society and accelerating the transition to a more green, resilient and fair economy to all Brazilians.
