A mapping of capital flows to identify gaps, opportunities, and accelerate the investments needed to achieve national goals.
The “State of Finance for Restoration and Bioeconomy in Brazil” study is an initiative by the Brazil Restoration and Bioeconomy Finance Coalition (BRBFC) , launched in November 2024. The coalition works to understand capital flows and develop solutions to unlock large-scale investments for ecosystem restoration and the bioeconomy.
Its purpose is to support the mobilization of USD 10 billion in new investments by 2030 , reducing the gap between available capital and Brazil’s national goal of restoring 12 million hectares. The study provides an overview to strengthen capital flows , identifying who finances, which instruments are used, and where the main barriers lie.
As part of this work, the study conducted a pioneering tracking effort that identified USD 1.6 billion invested between 2022 and the first half of 2025. Although finance shows a robust annual growth rate of 53% , the pace is insufficient to meet the estimated investment need of USD 36 billion.
Based on these findings, the study proposes practical recommendations for key players in the ecosystem – including government, financial institutions, investors, and organizations – aiming to address the mapped gaps, boost innovative instruments, and increase the scale and quality of finance for restoration and bioeconomy in Brazil.
