This is the key finding of the first State Climate Change Yearbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developed by the Centro Brasil no Clima (CBC) and the Instituto Clima e Sociedade (iCS), with support from Ita\u00fasa, the study compiles data on emissions, climate risks, and mitigation and adaptation policies and actions across various sectors of the economy in Brazil\u2019s 27 federative units. From 2025 onwards, the publication will be updated annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022, the six federative entities emitting the most carbon per million reais generated had economies based on agriculture and cattle management: Acre, Rond\u00f4nia, Mato Grosso, Par\u00e1, Maranh\u00e3o, and Tocantins. Not surprisingly, these are located in the Legal Amazon, where the highest emissions stem from deforestation and agriculture. Amazonas, also part of this geopolitical zone, ranked ninth in 2022. The exceptions are Roraima and Amap\u00e1, which appear at the bottom of the ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These states aren\u2019t necessarily the country\u2019s main emitters, as the carbon intensity of GDP considers the ratio between each federative entity\u2019s net annual carbon dioxide emissions (tCO2e) and its respective GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the case for Acre, which, despite having a median level of emissions compared to others, leads the ranking due to its small GDP. Meanwhile, S\u00e3o Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, with high and intermediate emissions respectively, ranked among the lowest carbon intensity rates of GDP in 2022 (24th and 23rd positions), due to their large GDPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen we analyze different states, we see that their economic matrix lead to vastly different carbon intensities and distinct land-use change requirements,\u201d said Walter De Simoni, climate policy, institutions, and law manager at the iCS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The emissions landscape across Brazilian states helps explain the country\u2019s overall pattern\u2014placing Brazil among the world\u2019s top ten greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters. The majority of the country\u2019s emissions (about 75%) stem from land-use changes and agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Guilherme Syrkis, executive director of CBC, adds that Brazil\u2019s diverse regions have varying sources of emissions. \u201cPoorer states tend to have higher emissions from deforestation and agriculture, whereas wealthier states see greater emissions from transportation, industry, and energy production,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Fernanda Westin, a senior researcher and consultant at CBC, deforestation fluctuations from year to year significantly impact the carbon intensity of GDP in states heavily reliant on land use. Roraima exemplifies this trend, dropping from sixth place in 2021 to second-to-last in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Westin also pointed out that negative emissions can be achieved through carbon offsetting, \u201cCarbon removals occur when forests are planted, and high-yield agriculture and pastures absorb CO\u2082 as vegetation grows,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The annual report further indicates that there is no direct correlation between a state\u2019s net carbon emissions and the size of its GDP. For example, Mato Grosso leads the nation in emissions but ranks only 11th in GDP, according to the 2022 data presented in the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>William Wills, CBC\u2019s project director, emphasizes that the report is not meant to compare states\u2014each with unique characteristics, histories, and future projections\u2014but rather to highlight public policies being implemented so that civil society can monitor and advocate for change. \u201cThis helps push for a leveling-up process so that all states build the capacity to tackle climate change,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal, Mr. Syrkis adds, is to institutionalize best practices and demonstrate that states attracting the most green investments have structured climate and environmental policies. Seven Brazilian states currently have dedicated climate funds in operation or development: Esp\u00edrito Santo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Amazonas, Rond\u00f4nia, Santa Catarina, S\u00e3o Paulo, and Tocantins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEsp\u00edrito Santo and Mato Grosso do Sul have stood out with promising policies and are becoming favorites of institutions like the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the World Bank, the European Bank, and Brazil\u2019s BNDES. These banks follow a checklist, reviewing the entire multi-year planning process, including climate policies,\u201d said Mr. Syrkis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*By\u00a0Victoria Netto \u00a0\u2014 Rio de Janeiro<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Valor International<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/valorinternational.globo.com\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>State Climate Change Yearbook reveals emission levels per million reais produced in each Brazilian state 01\/29\/2025 The more diversified the economy of Brazilian states and the more it leans towards services and industries, the more stable and lower the carbon intensity of the state\u2019s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) becomes over the years.
