COP30 – Brazil’s cattle sector: A key arena for forest and climate action

In this press conference, Global Canopy presents the latest data around the deforestation caused in Brazilian cattle supply chains and the solutions that can drive change. Brazil is the world’s second-largest beef producer and the largest beef exporter giving it the power to transform the sector.

We’ll present the latest Trase data on Brazilian beef exports which shows the Amazon is bearing the brunt of cattle deforestation. We’ll also highlight the newly released Floresta 250 – Cattle data that assesses the 250 companies and financial institutions with the greatest influence on Brazilian cattle supply chains. We’ll then highlight the clear actions needed to drive change, showcasing the newly updated Finance Sector Roadmap for Eliminating Commodity-Driven Deforestation and the Roteiro de Finanças Livres de Desmatamento, a Portuguese-language Roadmap customised for financial institutions to address the risks and opportunities of the Brazilian cattle supply chain.
