Financing roadmap: development banks and climate funds with support from Ecobraz

Introduction to Sustainable Financing

Sustainable financing has been consolidated as a strategic tool to boost initiatives that promote the mitigation of environmental impacts and adaptation to climate change. Development banks and climate funds stand out, offering essential resources for projects aligned with ESG guidelines and current public policies.

Development Banks: Role and Available Resources

Brazilian development banks, such as the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) and state banks, play a crucial role in providing credit lines with differentiated conditions for environmental and social projects. This financing is supported by specific legislation that encourages investments in clean technologies and green infrastructure, presented in accordance with the National Policy on Climate Change (Law No. 12.187/2009).

Climate Funds and Their Main Lines of Action

Public and private climate funds work to mobilize resources to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy. Of particular note are the Climate Fund, established by Decree 7.390/2010, and the Amazon Fund, which direct investments towards the conservation, recovery and sustainable use of natural resources. These funds also support climate adaptation and resilience actions in various productive sectors.

Legal Compliance and Criteria for Access to Resources

Getting funding from development banks and climate funds requires compliance with legal standards, including environmental, social and governance (ESG) guidelines. It is essential that projects are aligned with the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12.305/2010) and other specific regulations, ensuring transparency, traceability and sustainability.
