Objectives

The LULUCF Expert will be responsible for supporting the Brazilian Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MMA) in the elaboration of the Land Use, Land-use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector mitigation plan for the Plano Clima, with an integrated co-mitigation of GHGs and Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs) approach. The work will be conducted under the coordination of the Plano Clima Senior Technical Coordinator, following general guidance from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change as well as UNEP-CCC, and specific guidance from the respective focal point of the Ministry leading the Sectoral Plan.

As a result of the elaboration of the Brazilian National Climate Plan, it is expected that the proposed sectoral plan provides a clear set of actions in the Land Use, Land-use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector to be implemented by the government for aligning the Brazilian economy towards a trajectory consistent with the targets defined. The sectoral plan should be integrated to a robust implementation strategy and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) framework.
