Brazilian agricultural mitigation and adaptation policies: towards just transition

In this document, researchers from Climate Policy Initiative/Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (CPI/PUC-Rio) provide a policy map for climate mitigation and adaptation in Brazilian agriculture, identifying the government agencies responsible for implementation and the presence of elements of social and economic justice within each policy. This mapping represents an important step towards understanding current public policies (their targeting and priorities, and whether they provide for the inclusion of the most vulnerable producers in the transition) and designing inclusive transition strategies to align climate and social goals and enable more efficient policies.
