The biggest global effort to mitigate climate change ever devised by a subnational state
In December 2015, during the Paris Climate Convention (COP 21), the Government of Mato Grosso launched the Produce, Conserve and Include (PCI – Produzir, Conservar, Incluir) Strategy.
The PCI was designed in partnership between the government and institutions from different sectors of society.
The PCI is a landmark in the state’s sustainable development agenda and its vision for Mato Grosso is to achieve social and economic development through sustainable land use.
STRATEGIC VISION
This vision is embodied in a broad plan that includes goals in its three pillars and built through a participatory process integrating the agendas of actors from the public and private sectors and civil society.
The PCI integrates existing policies and builds upon previous efforts to reduce deforestation, expand compliance with the Brazilian National Forest Code, fulfill sustainability commitments in supply chains, create opportunities around REDD+ and promote economic development and social inclusion for small indigenous and traditional farmers and communities.
PCI's goals directly contribute to the Brazilian NDC under the Paris Agreement and to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs.
If achieved, the goals represent:
Starting in 2019, the PCI Strategy will be implemented in partnership with Instituto PCI.
Expansion and increase in the efficiency of agricultural and forestry production.
Conservation of native vegetation and restoration of liabilities.
Socioeconomic inclusion of family farming and traditional populations
In 2016, most efforts employed in the PCI were directed to its institutional structure. In March, state decree no. 468/2016 institutionalized the Strategy within the scope of the state government and created the main scope of its governance system. The State Committee for the Produce, Conserve and Include Strategy (CEEPCI) was created as a collegiate body formed by entities from the public and private sectors, associations and socio-environmental organizations.
CEEPCI's objective is to be an integration platform for actors and agendas with actions converging towards the Strategy’s goals. Within the scope of the committee, decisions are preferably made by consensus, however, when this is not possible, the vote is carried out through the blocks, allowing for the inclusion of new members who can contribute, without creating an imbalance between the number of institutions. The CEEPCI’s capacities are related to the approval of the action planning for the PCI’s three pillars (Produce, Conserve and Include); the monitoring of the implementation and fulfillment of the PCI’s goals, and the definition of the governance structure and fundraising mechanisms.
Between 2017 and 2018, CEEPCI also advanced in a strategic planning process, mapping more than 200 initiatives in the state of Mato Grosso related to the PCI Strategy, and indicating priority actions for the advancement of the goals in 5 key cross-cutting themes:
1. Financing mechanisms,
2. Environmental regularization,
3. Land tenure regularization,
4. Markets and
5. Dissemination of technology and good practices.
A Monitoring Committee was established, which designed indicators for the goals, and a monitoring platform was created.
A Communication, Value and Engagement Committee was also established, creating a portfolio of financeable projects and launching a PCI Corporate Action Group with the objective of engaging the private sector in actions in the area.
During this period, the PCI is also connected to areas and municipalities in the state through regional Compacts formed in partnership with the Sustainable Trade Initiative - IDH.
The state of Mato Grosso is also advancing in establishing strategic partnerships and investments for the implementation of the goals, among which, the state’s MoU with the IDH, the REM Program financed by KFW of Germany and co-financed by the British government, the PAGE partnership for the green economy with the United Nations and the World Bank, among other partnerships and private investments.
The state of Mato Grosso’s new administration determines that the PCI Strategy (Produce, Conserve and Include) will be implemented in partnership with a private entity called the PCI Institute (Instituto PCI).
1. Structuring the PCI Institute;
2. Monitoring;
3. Investments;
4. Regionalization;
5. Communication.
Durante o ano de 2020, se iniciou o processo formal de criação do Instituto PCI bem como a contratação de duas consultorias:
1. Realização de um balanço geral da Estratégia PCI no período de 2015 a 2020 onde foram apresentados os avanços, dificuldades, aprendizados, resultados e impactos das metas em cada um dos três eixos da estratégia PCI
2. Desenvolvimento de análises econômicas e financeiras, e oportunidades de investimento no estado de Mato Grosso decorrentes da estratégia PCI (sendo este em implementação durante 2021).
