Abstract: Brazil has recently introduced a national emissions trading system (ETS), targeting activities and facilities whose greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions exceed a defined threshold. The compliance market has similarities with the European Union cap-and-trade system but covers emissions from a wide range of sectors. This presentation will delve into the key design features of the system and examine how it is expected to interoperate with the voluntary carbon market. Lastly, it will address the major challenges associated with implementing the compliance carbon market in Brazil and strengthening the role played by the voluntary market.
