2025-11-13 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Sao_Paulo) | COP30 – Blue Zone – Brazilian Sustainable Transportation Pavilion (PV-B26)
The maritime transport sector contributes nearly 3% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, making it a key priority in international climate negotiations. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set ambitious targets to reduce the carbon intensity of international shipping by at least 40% by 2030 and to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Sustainable biofuels—such as ethanol, biodiesel, and biogas-derived fuels—are emerging as immediate, scalable, and cost-effective solutions to lower emissions across the global shipping fleet.
This panel will discuss the opportunities and challenges of expanding sustainable fuel use in the maritime sector, focusing on how biofuels can complement other low-carbon technologies to help countries meet IMO targets and advance a sustainable global shipping economy.

2025-11-13 11:30 - 12:30 (America/Sao_Paulo) | COP30 – Blue Zone – Brazilian Sustainable Transportation Pavilion (PV-B26)
The adoption of the Paris Agreement’s Article 6.2 and 6.4 market mechanisms, formalized at COP29, represents a major milestone in the creation of a regulated international carbon market. Alongside cap-and-trade systems and the voluntary carbon market, these mechanisms are essential for valuing emission reductions and removals with environmental integrity, helping countries and companies achieve their decarbonization goals. Moreover, carbon markets serve as a powerful driver of investment in innovative sectors—such as bioenergy—that often require substantial upfront resources before reaching large-scale commercial viability.
This panel tackles short-term opportunities for the bioenergy sector in regulated and voluntary carbon markets, discuss regulatory and methodological challenges, and assess expectations regarding the implementation of Paris Agreement market mechanisms.

2025-11-13 16:00 - 17:00 (America/Sao_Paulo) | COP30 – Blue Zone – Brazilian Sustainable Transportation Pavilion (PV-B26)
Brazilian agribusiness plays a fundamental role in the global climate solution, given its scale, efficiency, and capacity to integrate food production with sustainable energy generation. However, fully decarbonizing the sector requires structured, multisectoral, and measurable actions that align environmental responsibility with productivity and competitiveness.
The Brazilian Agribusiness Decarbonization Coalition, led by the Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development (CEBDS), brings together companies from across the agricultural value chain with the goal of turning climate commitments into concrete, scalable actions.
This panel will discuss the progress achieved by the Coalition, how agribusiness can lead a sustainable transformation that combines climate mitigation, adaptation, and competitiveness, and the collaborative pathways needed to accelerate the implementation of low-carbon practices across the sector.
The session will also address the integration of agribusiness decarbonization efforts into national climate policies and international commitments, highlighting Brazil’s potential to be a global benchmark in sustainable agricultural production.

2025-11-14 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Sao_Paulo) | COP30 – Blue Zone – Brazilian Sustainable Transportation Pavilion (PV-B26)
The Global Stocktake adopted at COP28 set clear milestones for the global energy transition, including tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030, reducing fossil fuel reliance, and accelerating decarbonization across all sectors. Sustainable fuels—such as biofuels, biogases, and renewable hydrogen—are central to achieving these goals, especially in sectors like aviation, shipping, and heavy industry that remain dependent on fuel-based solutions.
The recently launched Belém Commitment on Sustainable Fuels (Belém 4x) aims to accelerate the production and adoption of renewable energy sources, highlighting their importance for a balanced and resilient energy transition.
This panel will explore how sustainable fuels can drive these transitions, in alignment with the Belém Commitment on Sustainable Fuels, highlighting their role in accelerating decarbonization, enhancing energy resilience, and advancing global climate objectives.

UNICA at COP30 – “ILUC standards as safeguards to the sustainable production of biofuels”
2025-11-14 14:00 - 15:00 (America/Sao_Paulo) | COP30 – Blue Zone – Brazilian Sustainable Transportation Pavilion (PV-B26)
Indirect Land Use Change (ILUC) is one of the most debated and complex sustainability criteria in the global regulation of biofuels. It seeks to account for emissions that may occur indirectly when agricultural land previously used for food or other purposes is converted to biofuel feedstock production, potentially leading to deforestation or displacement effects.
Although the objective of ILUC assessment is to ensure that biofuels do not contribute to unintended environmental impacts, the lack of methodological consistency among different regulatory frameworks often leads to distorted results and can penalize production routes that are, in fact, sustainable.
This panel will discuss the importance of harmonizing ILUC methodologies, promoting fair treatment for sustainable biofuels, and establishing safeguards that support both environmental integrity and equitable market access.
