Aligned with the Paris Agreement, the Brazilian cement industry launches its position on carbon pricing.

The industry officially launched its position on Carbon Pricing, an initiative integrating global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

A pioneer in Brazil in environmental issues, the sector supports a low-carbon economy and proposes that any pricing should consider:

• International context considerations;
• Recognition of historical efforts;
• Avoid overlapping pricing instruments;
• Efforts across all economic sectors;
• MRV system as a prerequisite;
• Market-based systems over taxation;
• Gradual implementation agenda;
• Prevention of carbon leaks;
• Support for efficient technologies and processes.
