Brazilian states get tools to make climate promises real in their purchasing

Brazilian states now have a practical guide to connect their climate goals with how they buy things and manage public property. This means local governments can start making climate action part of their everyday operations, not just abstract policy.

For years, many governments have made big climate promises but struggled to make them happen at the local level. This guide gives Brazilian states concrete steps and tools to actually integrate climate considerations into their spending and asset management. It means that when a state buys a new bus fleet or builds a road, it can now systematically consider its climate impact, which could shift billions in procurement towards greener options over time.
