New research finds that nature-based solutions are essential for Brazil to meet its 2050 net zero pledge

Without the implementation of nature-based solutions, in particular ending deforestation and restoring native vegetation, Brazil would jeopardize its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) pledges including achieving net zero GHG emissions by mid-century, according to research published today from an international team led by the University of Oxford. The study also concluded that halting deforestation is the single most important mitigation measure Brazil can take towards net zero emissions by 2050 while preventing biodiversity loss.
