Coalizão Brasil Clima, Florestas e Agricultura

What Coalizão Brasil Clima, Florestas e Agricultura does

Coalizão Brasil Clima, Florestas e Agricultura is a Brazilian multisectoral civil society coalition founded in 2015 and headquartered in São Paulo. It convenes over 300 member organizations spanning agribusiness (JBS, Marfrig, Cargill, Bayer, Amaggi, Suzano, Klabin), financial institutions (Itaú, Bradesco), conservation NGOs (TNC, WWF-Brasil, WRI Brasil), research bodies, and federal government agencies (MAPA, MMA, Itamaraty). The coalition's core function is to coordinate cross-sector policy advocacy, knowledge production, and convening on sustainable land use, deforestation elimination, climate action, and bioeconomy in Brazil. It is co-facilitated by Karen Oliveira and Paulo Pianez (Sustainability Director at MBRF) and operates through task forces and thematic working groups that generate position papers, roadmaps (Vision 2030-2050, Brazil Without Deforestation, Planaveg 2025-2028), and election-cycle policy proposals.

The coalition's core "products" are knowledge platforms rather than software products. These include the Observatório da Restauração e Reflorestamento (ORR), a monitoring platform mapping approximately 150,000 hectares of restoration across Brazil's six biomes (a 90% increase since 2021); the Observatório de Pagamento por Serviços Ambientais (OPSA) network with over 250 members; the Programa de Silvicultura de Espécies Nativas research program launched in 2021 with R$ 24.9 million in BNDES funding; the AgroBrasil+Sustentável traceability platform developed with Embrapa and Serpro; and interactive tools such as a Dashboard and Linha do Tempo (Timeline) covering 15 strategic themes since 2015. Underlying technology is a public-facing web stack for data display rather than proprietary AI/ML systems.

The business model is nonprofit member-dues-plus-donor-grants. Revenue comes from member organization contributions and grants from development banks and foundations (BNDES, Bezos Earth Fund, GRSB, FAO, IUCN-aligned international donors). The coalition does not sell products or services commercially; it distributes publications and platforms as public goods to influence Brazilian policy, support EUDR-aligned supply chain traceability, and participate in international climate and biodiversity negotiations (UNFCCC COP, CBD COP). Distribution is via digital channels (website in Portuguese and English, LinkedIn, YouTube, newsletter), in-person plenary meetings, and active participation in COP events. The coalition has documented direct policy contributions to Bill 5,518/2020 (forest concessions) and Provisional Measure 1,151/2022.

Direct peers

• Food and Land Use Coalition (FOLU): A global coalition of organizations working to transform food and land use systems. Coalizão Brasil explicitly maintains dialogue with FOLU Brasil, and the two operate similar multi-stakeholder convening models around sustainable agriculture and land use.
• Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (GRSB): A multi-stakeholder initiative developing sustainability principles for the global beef value chain. GRSB partnered with the Coalition on cattle traceability in Latin America (May 2025 São Paulo meeting) and shares the same convening-playbook approach.
• IDH - The Sustainable Trade Initiative: A foundation that convenes companies, governments, and NGOs to make supply chains more sustainable across commodities including soy, beef, and palm oil. Highly comparable to Coalizão Brasil's convening model and Brazil-focused commodity sustainability work.
• Tropical Forest Alliance: A global multi-stakeholder partnership hosted by the World Economic Forum focused on removing deforestation from commodity supply chains. Directly comparable to Coalizão Brasil's convening model for sustainable land use, with overlapping corporate and NGO membership.

Broad incumbents

• World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD): A CEO-led global coalition of over 200 leading businesses working on sustainability. Comparable as a multi-stakeholder platform but operates at much greater scale and broader thematic scope than Coalizão Brasil.
• BSR (Business for Social Responsibility): A global sustainable business network and consultancy working with member companies on ESG strategy. Comparable to Coalizão Brasil's role as a convening and advisory platform, but with a more consultancy-driven commercial model.
• Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO): A global multi-stakeholder certification and convening body for sustainable palm oil. Operates a more mature version of the model Coalizão Brasil is building for tropical commodity sustainability, with broader geographic scope and a certification standard.
• Consumer Goods Forum (CGF): A global industry association bringing together consumer goods retailers and manufacturers. Operates coalition working groups similar to Coalizão Brasil's Forças-Tarefa, with comparable focus on deforestation-free supply chains.

Others

• CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project): A global disclosure platform for environmental impact data used by investors, companies, and policymakers. Comparable in operating environmental data infrastructure (like Coalizão Brasil's ORR and OPSA observatories) but focused on corporate disclosure rather than land-use monitoring.

Emerging players

• Bonsucro: A global multi-stakeholder platform for sustainable sugarcane. Operates a similar convening-and-standards model for a specific commodity, relevant as a comparable peer given Brazil's outsized role in sugarcane and similar agribusiness supply chain dynamics.
