Brazilian Climate & Carbon Conference (BCCC)

Promoted by the NBS Brazil Alliance, the Brazilian Climate and Carbon Conference is an event that brings together professionals and experts from the sector, academics and government representatives that are interested in discussing climate issues and opportunities in the carbon market. The event will bring together national and international specialists to discuss three mais axes: climate, carbon market (regulated and voluntary) and prospects for COP 29 in Azerbaijan. The conference will have two days and will take place on October 15 & 16, 2024, at the Santander Theater in São Paulo, Brazil.

The conference will be an opportunity to look at the prospects for the future of the carbon market in Brazil and reflect on the sector’s progress over the coming months. The event will highlight issues relevant to Brazil, such as the impact of regulation on the country, good practices in the sector, challenges encountered, opportunities for the future, state jurisdictional programs, individual projects and nature-based solutions, among others.
