PECC´s OBJECTIVES

To minimize vulnerability of society and productive sectors, increasing their resilience
and the resistance of strategic infrastructure

      To conserve, restore and manage ecosystems in a sustainable way to ensure their
      environmental services for climate change mitigation and adaptation

       To reduce GHG emissions to transition to a competitive and sustainable low
       carbon emissions economy

     To reduce short lived climate pollutants emissions, promoting health and welfare
     related benefits

To strengthen a national climate change policy through effective instruments and
coordination with state and city governments, the Congress and society
