On July 7, 2026, a public consultation was opened on a draft resolution that will establish the conditions, procedures and limits to operationalize Brazil’s participation in cooperative approaches involving Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs), under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement.
