Responding to climate change
Home to a large percentage of the world’s remaining forests, the 20 million Brazilians living in extreme poverty are likely to be among the worst affected by climate change. We therefore worked with state governments to develop policies that link climate change mitigation with combating poverty. We also worked with communities to establish sustainable forest management systems and reforest areas on land reform settlements, while helping state governments measure the quality and impact of new initiatives aimed at reducing deforestation.
