Brazil and Germany signed on Monday (29) two new international cooperation projects focused on addressing climate change and modernizing public transport. The ceremony was attended by the Director of the Brazilian Cooperation Agency (ABC), Ambassador Ruy Carlos Pereira, and the German Ambassador to Brazil, Bettina Cadenbach.

The first project, Brazil Climate Policy II (PoMuC II), will receive 10 million euros over five years, with funding from the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German government. The initiative aims to support Brazil in meeting its climate targets, with a focus on climate justice, the energy transition, and biodiversity conservation.

The second project, Just Transition in Urban Mobility in Brazil, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), will receive 4 million euros over three years. Implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Cities, the project seeks to promote the digitalization, decarbonization, and modernization of public transport, prioritizing the inclusion of historically vulnerable groups, such as women and Black communities.

For more than six decades, Brazil and Germany have carried out joint projects in various fields. The expectation is that these agreements will represent concrete progress in combating climate change and promoting a fair and sustainable transition.
