The report, The Brazilian Financial System and the Green Economy: Alignment with sustainable development, discusses innovation in public policies, regulatory framework and successful international initiatives capable of speeding up the allocation of resources by the financial system to the Green Economy.
As a member of the Inquiry Council and representing the engagement of the Brazilian Financial Sector in the discussion of a Brazilian agenda for sustainable development, FEBRABAN (Brazilian Federation of Banks) has been actively engaged in the discussions proposed by UNEP and leads the research on the Brazilian context, in the framework of the Inquiry. As part of this process, FEBRABAN has commissioned the Center of Sustainability Studies (GVces) at Getulio Vargas Foundation to carry out the studies that will support Brazil’s discussions and propositions in the framework of the Inquiry.
The goal of this document is to identify in the Brazilian scenario relevant aspects for the Inquiry purpose, based on three complementary studies: current resource allocation in the Green Economy, the country institutional and regulatory framework, and the relationship between finances and sustainability in two sectors and in two topics: agribusiness, renewable energy sources, biodiversity and cities.
