📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) participated, in the Finnish Pavilion of the COP30 Blue Zone, in a debate on the role of planted forests in removing carbon and recovering degraded areas. Representing the Brazilian government, federal agricultural tax auditor Luis Rangel presented the countrys vision on the use of forestry systems as a strategic tool to increase sustainability in agriculture and boost the transition to an economy aligned with carbon neutrality.
The panel brought together national and international wood and cellulose companies, representatives of the private sector, researchers and Brazilian institutions, in a discussion with the Brazilian Tree Institute about planted forests and the potential for recovering degraded areas with carbon removal.
Rangel highlighted the diversity of actors involved and highlighted that this coordination is fundamental for the development of sustainable solutions. He also emphasized the need to expand the scale of planted forests as part of the countrys climate mitigation strategies. The discussion addressed precisely the possibilities, expectations and the impetus that this COP moment offers to move forward in this vision of the future, he assessed.
The Mapa representative also reinforced that planted forests can directly contribute to more ambitious climate goals, expanding the carbon removal capacity in the agricultural sector. We are talking about making agriculture more and more possible for removals that bring us closer to carbon neutral, or even carbon negative results, he stated.
