📋 Tender Overview
The Science & Climate project, executed by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI), began dialogue process with government institutions, civil society and the Academy on Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation. The objective of the first meeting, held on Wednesday (20), in Brasilia (DF), was the mapping of initiatives and technical-scientific studies that are underway with the possibility of generating data on the subject that can be used in the preparation of transparency reports in Brazil to the climate convention. Climate and its Paris Agreement. The engagement of different institutions in the process of preparing these documents through the co -production mechanism is unheard of in the project and should increase the participation of institutions. These are experts who are gathering information, who are relevant to the context of transparency reports. We are talking about concrete adaptation actions, studies on observed impact scenarios, risk and vulnerabilities and also monitoring of actions and public policies, exemplified the expert in impacts, vulnerabilities and adaptation of the Science & Climate Project, Mariana Paz. From studies and research, public policies and/or initiatives implemented directly in territories. In addition to mapping, participants were informed on the topics that will be prioritized, such as observed impacts, future scenarios, climate risks and adaptation policies. There was a presentation of the project scope, with emphasis on items that are reported in the transparency reports, and the global adaptation objectives, whose indicators are in the global definition phase, and the national adaptation objectives, which are connected to the Climate Plan. Fifth National Communication should expand the scope of approach on the subject of impacts, vulnerabilities and adaptation beyond food, water, water, energetic and socio -environmental. It is a look that other themes to be in accordance with the climate schedule of Brazil. Today, the country has 16 sectoral plans and nine national goals.

Climate justice is precisely the need to have public policies that incorporate the racial, ethnic and social issue, with the perspective of the necessary answers, said Jacobi. The long afternoon, participants were organized into thematic groups to discuss knowledge gaps, data needs, synergies. Dozens of initiatives with collaboration potential were mapped.
