Folder – National Adaptation Strategy

Brazil has developed its Climate Adaptation Plan to strengthen the country’s resilience to the impacts of climate change. Comprised of the National Adaptation Strategy and 16 other plans on key themes, the Plan provides guidance for federal and subnational public policies, the private sector, and civil society to plan aimed at reducing the vulnerabilities of the population, the economy, and natural systems. The Plan emphasizes people-centered adaptation, focusing on reducing the inequalities that perpetuate poverty and heighten the risks associated with climate change. The folder "Climate policy, the Brazilian way" presents, in summary form, the National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy and elements of its construction.
