Brazilian Government Platform Launched at COP29 with R$ 10.8 Billion in Investments and “Green Seal” from BNDES. Tool Aims to Connect Investors to Environmental and Decarbonization Projects, Focusing on Transforming the Economy and Reducing CO2 Emissions.
Today, Wednesday (13), during COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, the Brazil Climate Investment and Ecological Transformation Platform (BIP) was officially launched, an initiative of the Brazilian government to accelerate the green transition and strengthen the country’s environmental commitments. The National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) will be responsible for the platform’s secretariat, which already has R$ 10.8 billion in potential investments.
The project aims to connect sources of funding to initiatives aligned with national public policies for decarbonization, with a focus on three key areas: bioeconomy, industry and mobility, and renewable energy and energy efficiency.
BNDES Green Seal
All mapped projects have the “green seal” from BNDES, a seal that guarantees investments comply with Brazil’s climate and environmental goals, attracting international capital.

“We want to be the Bank of the Future, and it is not possible to do this dissociated from the green agenda, from the climate transition,” stated Luis Augusto Navarro, BNDES’s Compliance and Risk Director, who highlighted more than 50% growth in the institution’s loans in the past two years, part of a repositioning strategy for a more sustainable and modern model.
Economic Future of Brazil
The Vice President of the Republic, Geraldo Alckmin, present at the event, emphasized the importance of the platform for Brazil’s economic future, which aims to continue growing at a rate higher than 3% per year, but with the priority of decarbonizing its economy. “We want to keep growing, but we need to do this by decarbonizing,” he stated.
The Minister of the Environment, Marina Silva, also highlighted that the BIP is directly connected to the goals of the review of Brazil’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), which foresee a reduction of 76% in CO2 emissions by 2035.
She explained that the platform not only meets emission mitigation goals but also seeks to create a new model of economic transformation that is socially just and environmentally sustainable. “We are creating a new cycle of prosperity that makes sense for the 21st century,” she stated.
Investments from Brazil
With the partnership of international organizations such as Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), and the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the platform aims not only to attract investments from Brazil but also to position the country as a leader in green innovation and sustainability on the global stage.
The BIP already has mapped projects in areas such as green hydrogen, sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), low-emission mineral extraction, green fertilizers, and forest restoration in regions of the Amazon and the Atlantic Forest.
Access to the platform can be made through the website gov.br/bip, where investors can explore financing opportunities and support Brazil’s ecological transformation.
This launch marks an important step for the Brazilian environmental agenda and reinforces the country’s commitment to reducing its emissions and developing a growth model that integrates sustainability and innovation.
