The Brazilian Climate and Carbon 2024 Conference ended yesterday in São Paulo, Brazil, which had a very good agenda and a full audience, providing fantastic networking, nationally and internationally.
As last weekend we announced the constellation of sponsors in a post on LinkedIn, today and tomorrow we will highlight some of the panels that caught special attention.
It should be noted that for several of the panels the audience was practically full, around 1,000 people seated. Click here if you want to see the complete grid, with a brief description of each panel.
At the opening, Janaina Dallan, President of Aliança Brasil NBS, presented the first news: the launch of the Land Guide applied to developers of carbon projects in Brazil, a publication with 32 pages that you can download here (currently in Portuguese, soon in English).
(spoiler alert: Janaina brought another news at the end of the event, which we will talk about tomorrow).
The panel we will comment on today was on “Climate change mitigation and Nature-Based Solutions: what does science say?”
Among the panelists was Professor Paulo Artaxo of the Physics Institute at USP, who a few days ago had already given a “22-minute, 22-slides” class to representatives of the Three Powers of the Republic. Remember what happened in Brasília through the article by Herton Escobar / Joyce Tenório for Jornal da USP (article in Portuguese, title’s free translation here) “The penny dropped”: USP professor presents the climate crisis to the heads of the Three Powers”.
On his hand, the professor at ESALQ/USP and Coordinator of CCARBON/USP, Carlos Eduardo Pellegrino Cerri, highlighted the need to tropicalize current methodologies for NBS-type carbon credits. Coincidentally, a few days ago we published about PSA Carbonflor and PSA Carbon Agro Perene. Furthermore, the professor highlighted the opportunity represented by the latest development of ILPF systems - Crop-Livestock-Forest Integration - whose focus is on overall productivity. About CCARBON, it is the Center for Carbon Research in Tropical Agriculture and by clicking here you can have more details about the current lines of research, covering five main programs: Soil, Plant, Animal, Atmosphere and Digital Tools.
Tomorrow we will share more content about the Brazilian Climate and Carbon Conference 2024 by Aliança Brasil NBS.
