In partnership with the Netherlands Embassy in Brasília and the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA), the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) will host an exclusive, in-person roundtable discussion on financing the regeneration of Brazil’s degraded pastures.

As Brazil prepares to host COP30, pasture regeneration stands out as one of the country’s most strategic opportunities to advance climate goals while strengthening rural productivity. Achieving national restoration targets will require mobilizing substantial public and private investment, leveraging blended finance and innovative mechanisms to de-risk projects and attract long-term capital.

This roundtable will bring together leaders from the public sector, private finance, and philanthropy to explore practical financial solutions for scaling up pasture restoration across Brazil.
