The Business Dialogue is part of the agenda of the National Confederation of Industry (CNI) at the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29), aimed at highlighting Brazil’s potential to attract financing for sustainable fuel production. The session also addressed key challenges and opportunities for the country to leverage its comparative advantages and become a global hub and reference point.

In discussing the interactions between these sectors and public-private collaboration to overcome climate challenges,Ludovino Lopes, Regulatory Consultant at LATAM, Felipe Salgado, Managing Partner at KPMG Brazil, and Pedro Venzon, International Policy Advisor at the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA), also focused on financial mechanisms to drive emerging technologies and renewable fuels.
