Greenhouse Gas
Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are crucial in climate change. Companies can reduce emissions by adopting clean technologies and renewable energy. All contribute to GHG emissions in daily activities such as transportation, energy use, procurement of products and services, and waste generation.
Continuing with the current GHG emission rates carries significant risks. Rising CO2 levels can intensify extreme weather events and impact biodiversity and public health. Brazil, a major emitter in Latin America, saw its emissions increase in 2020 – it is essential to act to avoid consequences such as sea level rise and biodiversity loss.
Jornada ESG Expedition in partnership with DEEP launches its GHG calculator to quantify the greenhouse gas emissions generated in the dayto-day of the expedition. This tool can help to understand how much an everyday life can generate impacts, being an educational and practical step towards sustainability.
The Carbon Vision
The carbon market, which trades in carbon credits, is essential in the fight against climate change. Companies or countries that reduce their CO2 emissions below a certain level generate credits that can be sold to those who do not meet reduction targets, encouraging the reduction of emissions economically and sustainably. There are two segments: regulated, with emission limits set by governments, and voluntary, where companies or individuals buy credits to offset their emissions.
Brazil, with its biodiversity and forests, has great potential in this market, especially in the agricultural sector and in forest restoration projects. The global demand for carbon credits grows with carbon neutrality targets.
Regulation in Brazil, which began in 2022, promises to boost the market, generating jobs and economic movement. The carbon market represents a vital path to reducing global greenhouse gas emissions, with Brazil emerging as a major player in this scenario.
