The Brazilian National Determined Contributions classification organizes standards according to Brazil's climate commitments under the Paris Agreement, encompassing three major categories: Mitigation, Adaptation, and Sectoral Specific Actions.
Mitigation targets include emission reduction goals, climate neutrality objectives, carbon market negotiations, and methodological approaches, alongside mitigation actions focusing on efficient resource use, circular economy, public policy integration, and non-CO? greenhouse gas reduction (such as methane). Adaptation priorities address multiple axes including social, urban and infrastructure resilience, food security, water security, biodiversity protection, energy security, and ocean protection, with approaches that integrate adaptation into public policies and promote ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA). Sectoral Specific Actions target key economic areas including Agriculture (sustainable production, restoration, and integrated crop-livestock-forest systems), Energy (renewable electricity, bioenergy, hydrogen, and BECCS/CCUS innovations), Buildings and Urban Infrastructure (nature-based solutions and active mobility), Industry (low-carbon technologies and CCUS), Land-use Change and Forestry (zero deforestation, restoration, and sustainable management), Transportation (fuel substitution and electrification), and Waste (methane mitigation and improved management practices). This classification enables users to identify standards that directly support Brazil's national climate commitments and sectoral transformation strategies.
