What is the Climate Fund and what is the role of BNDES

The Climate Fund, created in 2009, is an instrument of the National Policy on Climate Change. It is managed by BNDES and coordinated by the Ministry of the Environment, focusing on financing mitigation and adaptation projects.

In practice, the fund supports initiatives linked to a low-carbon economy, such as renewable energies, reforestation, and sustainable transportation, within a federal strategy for climate financing.

Who participates in the agreement closed in Germany

According to the information from the agreement, international partners involved include:

Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW), German development and investment bank
Agence Française de Développement (AFD)
Cassa Depositi e Prestiti (CDP)
Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)

The BNDES emphasizes that, with this type of cooperation, Germany seeks to contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and support Brazil’s adaptation to the effects of global warming.

Budget of R$ 27 billion in 2026 and what changes in the scale of the fund

The text informs that the budget of the Climate Fund for 2026 is R$ 27 billion. Minister João Paulo Ribeiro Capobianco stated that the annual investments, which were around R$ 500 million between 2009 and 2023, have multiplied, reaching the current level.

In the presented view, this scale of resources aims to stimulate ventures in areas such as technological densification and bioeconomy, energy transition, circular economy, new industry, and resilient infrastructure and adaptation to climate change.

What Mercadante and the Ministry of the Environment said

The president of BNDES, Aloizio Mercadante, stated that the signing of the declarations at the industrial fair reinforces the government’s commitment to strengthening the historical cooperation with Germany and highlighted the role of the bank in the partnership.

Minister João Paulo Ribeiro Capobianco declared that Germany’s decision to invest around R$ 3 billion in the Climate Fund is a demonstration of credibility in investments related to the Ecological Transformation Plan.

Do you think that this fundraising from BNDES will accelerate green mobility and energy transition projects in Brazil as early as 2026?
