The Alliance

Coalition for Brazil’s Restoration and Bioeconomy: A Narrative of Unity and Action

The Brazil Restoration & Bioeconomy Finance Coalition (BRB Finance Coalition), launched by a group of public and private sector leaders, aims to mobilize $10 billion by 2030 to accelerate the conservation and restoration of Brazil's forests. The BRB Finance Coalition seeks to support projects with the aim of restoring at least 5 million hectares of Brazilian forests, sequester at least 1 gigaton of CO2 emissions, and invest $500 million in initiatives benefiting Indigenous peoples and local communities, with a focus on the Amazon region.

The Vision

Transforming Brazil Through Nature

At the heart of our mission lies the recognition that nature-based solutions (NbS) are not only essential for combating climate change but also represent unparalleled opportunities to drive economic growth and social equity. Our coalition focuses on catalyzing the restoration of degraded ecosystems and unlocking the vast potential of Brazil’s bioeconomy, guided by the principles of inclusivity, innovation, and sustainability.

Goals: Ambition With Impact

The Coalition has set bold targets to ensure that our collective efforts yield measurable and lasting results:

Mobilize $10 billion by 2030 to fund large-scale restoration and bioeconomy projects, unlocking the financial resources required to make a tangible difference.

Restore and protect 5 million hectares of forests, safeguarding biodiversity, water cycles, and critical ecosystem services.

Sequester 1 gigaton of CO₂e by 2050, playing a vital role in global climate action.

Invest $500 million in local communities and Indigenous Peoples, empowering those who live in and rely on these ecosystems to lead the transformation.

“Together, the BRB Finance Coalition recognizes not only the scale of the problem but the most effective solution: channeling large-scale finance directly to Indigenous peoples and local communities, who have protected their lands for centuries. The future of our economies, our communities, and our planet depend on initiatives like this. Conservation International looks forward to putting the full force of our weight behind its success.”

Patricia Zurita, Conservation International’s Chief Strategy Officer.
Our Approach

Collaboration at Scale

To achieve these ambitious goals, the BRB Finance Coalition adopts a multi-faceted approach that integrates public and private efforts:

Innovative Financing Mechanisms

By developing pioneering financial tools, the Coalition reduces risks, attracts diverse investments, and ensures that resources flow effectively to restoration and bioeconomy projects.

Stakeholder-Driven Action

Collaboration with Indigenous Peoples, local communities, and civil society ensures that solutions are equitable, culturally appropriate, and grounded in the realities of those directly impacted.

Knowledge Sharing and Advocacy

By fostering a shared understanding of the challenges and opportunities, the Coalition builds momentum for policies and practices that accelerate the adoption of NbS.

Science-Based Solutions

Anchoring initiatives in cutting-edge science ensures measurable impact and scalability, while also integrating traditional knowledge systems to enrich methodologies.

Why It Matters

A Global Imperative

Brazil is home to some of the world's most critical ecosystems, including the Amazon, Cerrado, and Atlantic Forest. The health of these ecosystems is intricately tied to global climate stability, biodiversity preservation, and the well-being of millions of people. However, deforestation, unsustainable agricultural practices, and climate change threaten these vital landscapes. The BRB Finance Coalition seeks to reverse these trends by aligning financial, environmental, and social priorities into a cohesive and actionable framework.
