Leading Country Climate NGOs: Climate Observatory, Brazil

The Climate Observatory (OC) is a Brazilian network for articulating global climate change established on March 23, 2002. In addition to discussions with experts on climate change, the observatory promotes the articulation of civil society entities to pressure the government to take decisive actions to mitigate and adapt Brazil to climate change. It currently has around 100 members.

To access the list of members, go to:

The Climate Observatory is maintained with resources from philanthropic entities. It does not receive resources from for-profit organizations or the Brazilian government.

Since its founding, the Climate Observatory Laboratory has received funding from the following donors:

Climate and Society Institute (ICS)

Climate and Land Use Alliance

Rainforest Foundation Norway

Fastenopfer

Packard Foundation

Earth Alliance (Re: Wild)

WWF Brazil

Boticário Group Foundation

Open Society Foundation

The OC created the Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removals Estimation System (SEEG), the main greenhouse gas emissions monitoring platform in Latin America and one of the largest national emissions databases in the world. It provides annual estimates of greenhouse gas emissions in Brazil for all sectors of the economy on an easy-to-access online platform with data dating back to 1970, as well as analyses and solutions for decision-makers. SEEG data aims to inform public mitigation policies and provide transparency to society about the country’s emission reduction trajectories.

The Climate Scorecard should apply for OC membership. I have no professional or voluntary connection with them. All climate performance data is currently based on publications from the SEEG platform.
