This axis enables mechanisms for private and public financing of new infrastructure projects with a lower environmental footprint. It promotes resilient cities adapted to the impacts of climate change, such as floods, heatwaves, droughts, and landslides, with a special focus on the most vulnerable populations.
It ensures that government contracts and private investments gradually incorporate sustainability requirements. Additionally, it establishes credit and regulatory benefits to direct national and international private resources toward priority projects of ecological transformation.
Key Actions:
In cities, the New PAC is the State's arm in urban mobility actions, with incentives for the acquisition of electric buses under local content rules, and robust investments in housing, totaling R$ 556 billion by 2026, including R$ 15 billion for disaster prevention — slope containment and drainage —, R$ 23 billion for wastewater treatment, and R$ 11 billion for slum urbanization. In addition, R$ 160 billion is allocated to housing financing and R$ 316 billion to the Minha Casa Minha Vida program. All these investments directly impact people's safety and reduce risks associated with precarious housing.
- Public policies are being implemented for prevention, risk mitigation, and preparation for extreme situations. This includes new monitoring systems, emergency actions for real-time responses, and protocols with environmental emergency decrees to address impacts in affected municipalities, as well as partnerships with other Ministries for quick responses in serving the population and reconstruction.
