This Saturday, November 13th, marked the end of COP26, which brought together representatives from nearly 200 countries who came in search of effective actions to combat the climate crisis. CEBRI Trustees Izabella Teixeira, Marcos Jank, and Ilona Szabó as well as Senior Fellows Ana Toni and Hussein Kalout attended the conference. The 2021 Glasgow climate pact provides pathways towards the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

Over the past few months, the Brazilian Center for International Relations (CEBRI) has convened a series of debates on the topics of climate change, the environment, and COP26. The next webinar, Financing Biodiversity, will take place on November 19th, at 10:30 am, in partnership with the Brazilian Development Association (ABDE). The webinar will discuss the role of Development Financial Institutions (IFDs) in structuring innovative financial instruments focused on preserving biodiversity, identifying alternatives that can be incorporated by the National Development System (SNF) to promote sustainable development. The event will be moderated by Nabil Moura Kadri (BNDES), with the opening by Izabella Teixeira (CEBRI) and Sergio Suchodolski (ADBE) and will include the speakers Bráulio Dias (UnB), Mercedes Bustamante (UnB), and Susan Edda Seehusen (UNDP Brazil).
