From November 2018 to October 2019, CBC worked with SPIPA (Strategic Partnerships for the Implementation of the Paris Agreement) in a project intending to collaborate with the achievement of Brazilian Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).  

​

The efforts were in two directions: local governments and technical reports. CBC supported the creation and reactivation of environmental forums at four Brazilian states: Pernambuco, Alagoas, Amapá, and Espírito Santo, and also coordinated studies with experts from Centro Clima/Coppe/UFRJ.

​

The  SPIPA program is jointly commissioned by the European Union as a Foreign Policy Instrument Action and the BMU in the context of the International Climate Initiative (IKI). SPIPA is implemented by GIZ.
