Analysis of Updated NDC
Timeframe 

2005 to 2025 and 2005 to 2030

Relevant context 

Largest country in Latin America, with lush tropical rainforests that are vital to the world’s survival

Process for developing NDC 

The updated NDC describes the general avenues for institutional interaction between government and civil society, which takes place through the Brazilian Forum on Climate Change. However, there is no mention of how much civil society had the opportunity had to weigh in on this NDC. It simply states that the current NDC is based on experiences and lessons learned from developing the 2015 INDC.

Description of Monitoring and/or Implementation Mechanism 

The NDC states that Brazil will use the 2006 IPCC guidelines to update its national inventories and account for the gas emissions covered by the NDC. Its Biennial Transparency Reports will also apply specific assumptions and methodologies to assess progress related to NDC implementation.

Summary of gender reference 

In the section of the annex with more details on the NDC on existing domestic institutional arrangements and public participation and engagement, Brazil briefly mentions its Constitutional articles that "pay due attention to the needs" of women and indigenous peoples.
