Brazil’s Position for UN Climate Conference in Copenhagen

Brazil aspires to a leading role in international negotiations on an agreement to counter climate change. It stipulates that future commitments be based on the principle of common but differen- tiated responsibility. In Copenhagen, it will declare its voluntary emissions reduction target and it will unveil its own national climate policy concept, so as to spur developed countries into making ambitious reductions commitments, contributing more funds, and facilitating the transfer of technol- ogy to developed countries. It will attempt to encourage investment by rich states in its own low-emissions projects.
