​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

​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;

• ​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.
