BVRio Annual Report 2025: Innovative Climate Finance for a Green and Inclusive Economy
Despite one of the most challenging years in global geopolitics, 2025 delivered measurable environmental progress. BVRio’s Annual Report documents how we continued to bridge the gap between climate ambition and real-world delivery, designing mechanisms aimed at connecting policy, finance, and implementation at scale.
Our work spanned forests and sustainable land use, waste management and the circular economy, and cross-cutting climate finance. In each, the same core challenge applies: regulation sets a floor, but it does not create markets. What turns policy intent into lasting economic behaviour are mechanisms that are trusted and able to generate verifiable outcomes.
The report also highlights BVRio’s role in advancing global plastics governance, supporting EPR legislation in ten countries, and designing decision-support tools that make complex geospatial and regulatory data actionable for investors and landowners alike.

European Capacity Building Initiative Publication – 2025 Edition
Finance has always played a pivotal role in the global climate change negotiations, as an enabler of action but also as an indicator of the level of trust between developed and developing countries. It will continue to do so in the future – the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) submitted by many developing countries include elements whose implementation is conditional to the provision of financial and other support, and the discussions on finance for adaptation and loss and damage are likely to heat up in future as climate impacts increase. Over the years, the climate finance negotiations have acquired their own layers of complexity, accompanied by their own – often loaded – vocabulary. This Guide aims to help developing country climate negotiators navigate this complexity and understand what has gone by, to negotiate more effectively in future.

This booklet (available in Portuguese only) was developed by BVRio to guide rural landowners who conserve native vegetation beyond the minimum required under the Brazilian Forest Code, especially Legal Reserve surpluses, on how to structure and operationalise conservation instruments that can be formalised and, where applicable, traded, such as Environmental Easements and Forest Reserve Credits (CRAs). It supports the implementation of the Ecological Corridors Programme in the area of influence of two Transpetro pipelines, as part of the environmental compensation required under the federal licensing process led by IBAMA: by informing and engaging landowners in the region, the booklet helps create the enabling conditions for these surpluses to be formalised and, once CRA transactions are fully operational, negotiated—allowing Transpetro to target compensation towards connected, priority areas and delivering tangible benefits for biodiversity and the long-term sustainability of rural properties.
BVRio is a non-profit organisation working at the intersection of economic, environmental and social sustainability. Our mission is to design and promote innovative market-based solutions for the benefit of the economy, the environment and people.

This document describes the main features of the CCM Standard, as well as the Implementation Procedures to guide users.
The CCM aims to provide a simple and fast financial tool to facilitate payments for environmental services that improve waste recovery and destination, while also improving the social conditions of waste workers. As with any financial tool, it is managed responsibly so as not to become an easy alternative for waste producers and generators to abandon reduction and reuse efforts, especially those with legal compliance obligations.
While only governments have the power to define the conditions under which credits could be accepted for compliance, CCM encourages credit buyers to have waste prevention/reduction plans in place, using CCs only as a complement to their upstream solutions.
The 2024 document consists of a comprehensive review, consolidation and complementation of the following documents, which are no longer in force and are entirely replaced by this document.
Land Tenure Guide for Carbon Credit Developers is a publication by the NBS Alliance, with contributions from BVRio.

The Tropical Forests Mechanism (TFM) is aimed at supporting nature finance at scale to guarantee the maintenance and enhancement of tropical forests worldwide. The mechanism is expected to complement the Brazilian government’s Tropical Forests Forever Fund (TFFF), announced at COP28, to secure funding to protect rainforests in the Amazon region, Congo Basin, and Southeast Asia.
The TFM is an initiative of Amazon 2030, with the support of BVRio and Igarapé Institute.
