Blended finance no Brasil: um estudo de caso sobre o projeto “cra sustentável do cacau na mata atlântica”

Abstract

This article discusses the applications of Blended Finance strategies and sustainable bonds as key instruments to promote sustainable development in Brazil. Firstly, the text highlights the essential role of Blended Finance, which combines various forms of financing, whether philanthropic, public, or private, with the aim of leveraging projects with a positive socioenvironmental impact aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the commitments of the Paris Agreement. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the need for stricter regulation and standardization, as well as underscores the importance of certifying sustainable financial products. In this context, it is observed that Brazil still needs to explore the disclosure rules related to sustainable bond issuances. In summary, the strategic use of Blended Finance, coupled with appropriate regulation, standardized reporting, and certification, plays a crucial role in the path toward sustainable development. These approaches seek to balance the interests of various stakeholders and promote a more sustainable and socially responsible world.
