Brazil in Focus: Global Positioning, Climate Capital - with Minister João Paulo Capobianco

September 24, 2026 | 3:00–5:00 PMEY | New York City How can Brazil turn its climate leadership, natural assets and industrial capabilities into a credible investment proposition for the global economy? During Climate Week NYC 2026, AYA Earth Partners and EY will convene government representatives, business leaders, investors and climate experts for a high-level discussion on Brazil’s position in a rapidly changing geopolitical and economic landscape—and the role of climate capital in advancing the country’s next development cycle. The session will move from Brazil’s broader global positioning to one of the most tangible instruments for implementation: the development of its regulated carbon market. Opening Conversation | 3:00–4:00 PM A Macro View of Brazil Ricardo Assumpção, EY, in conversation with Minister João Paulo Capobianco The opening conversation will explore Brazil’s economic outlook, its evolving position in global trade and its potential to become a leading destination for energy-transition and decarbonization investment. The discussion will examine how the country can translate its renewable energy matrix, critical mineral reserves, environmental credentials and COP30 legacy into competitiveness, capital flows and long-term value. Key topics will include: Brazil’s economic, fiscal and monetary outlook; the country’s positioning amid shifting trade dynamics involving the United States and China; critical minerals and the opportunity to expand domestic processing and value creation; the influence of the political cycle on climate and energy policy; pathways for turning Brazil’s climate advantages into a compelling investment thesis. Panel Discussion | 4:00–5:00 PM From Regulation to Capital: Building Brazil’s Carbon Market Brazil has established the legal foundation for a regulated emissions trading system. The next challenge is turning that framework into a credible, scalable and investable market. Bringing together perspectives from the public sector, finance, industry, carbon removal, credit generation, and measurement and verification, the panel will examine what must happen between regulation and implementation. The conversation will address how market rules, technical infrastructure, credit integrity and financial mechanisms can be developed to attract capital at scale—well before the system becomes fully operational. Why Attend?
