Private Finance

The majority of financing for the climate transition will come from the private sector, but in many cases, private actors will need guidance, de-risking, and appropriate incentives from the Brazilian public sector to deliver at the necessary speed and scale. In particular, catalytic financial and policy mechanisms can help reduce the cost of capital where it is currently too high to achieve climate results.
