Study Conducted by WRI Brazil, UFRJ, Former Finance Ministers, and World Bank Executives Reveals Data That Can Generate Jobs and Wealth for Brazil

After suffering the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic recovery movement may not only help the country improve its resilience to climate change if investment is directed towards the “green economy,” but it may also create 2 million jobs and add 2.8 trillion reais to Brazil’s GDP. Compared to the 2019 GDP (R$ 7.3 trillion), this would represent a 38% increase.

This was revealed in the study “A New Economy for a New Era,” conducted in partnership by WRI Brazil along with UFRJ, former finance ministers of Brazil, and World Bank executives. The work is part of the Global New Climate Economy, which aims to highlight ways to combine economic development with responses to global warming. It is expected that climate change will have a greater impact than COVID-19. Therefore, several countries are studying ways to take actions that bring economic and climate benefits.

The study focused on three sectors that are extremely strategic to the national economy: infrastructure, industry, and agribusiness. The report indicates, “Quality infrastructure reduces the costs and impacts of environmental degradation and allows for greater resilience to increasingly intense and frequent extreme events.”
