Brazilian Cities Advance Climate Commitments with Infrastructure Projects
What happened
Cities across Brazil are translating climate commitments into action, focusing on transforming transport and waste management. Seven Brazilian cities are working to implement climate budgeting, a governance system that integrates climate goals into policy and budgets. Additionally, twenty-one subnational governments are developing seventeen waste management projects expected to process over 30,000 metric tons of organic waste annually.
