Brazil’s government expects to mobilise more than 250 billion reais (US$48.4 billion) in sustainable investments during President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s current four-year term, with 2026 centered on consolidating initiatives already underway, former international affairs secretary Tatiana Rosito said.
According to Reuters, Rosito, who left her post at the Finance Ministry on Monday to become the World Bank’s director for China, Korea and Mongolia starting in July, said Brazil has assembled a broad suite of financial instruments showcased during its leadership of the G20, BRICS and COP30.
The priority now, she added, is delivering results and drawing capital rather than crafting new tools.
According to Rosito, Brazil’s recent policy push has helped restore its standing as a major global player, with peers viewing Latin America’s largest economy as shifting from rhetoric to delivery.
Key efforts include creating national ecological transformation guidelines, issuing sovereign sustainable bonds abroad and launching EcoInvest, a program that uses public funds to attract private investment into green projects.
Rosito also pointed to the Brazil Investment Platform for Climate and Ecological Transformation (BIP), which lists sustainable projects seeking financing.
