ETS status
Cap-and-trade bill passed lower house late 2023; awaiting Senate; large voluntary forestry market
Exposed operators
Petrobras, Vale, Eletrobras, Suzano, JBS
Trade system impact
Future ETS targets entities emitting >25,000 tCO2/year. Brazilian VCM is dominated by forestry (REDD+, AFOLU) — directly exposed to Haya/West academic critique.
Proof-pack relevance
Brazil's AFOLU/REDD+ VCM supply requires highest-grade per-tonne evidentiary substrate to survive institutional-buyer scrutiny. Proof-pack disclosure is a market-preservation instrument.
