Macquarie in Brazil: Strengthening Brazil’s Global Influence
Brazil’s Strategic Climate Event
Brazil is widely known for its vibrant Carnival, but in November 2025, the country will host another significant event: the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30). This summit is scheduled to take place in Belém, the gateway to the Amazon rainforest, marking an ideal location and time for discussing global climate issues.
Economic and Geopolitical Context
Brazil is experiencing an economic rebound after recent years, while its geopolitical stance remains that of an autonomous player in a multipolar world. As a major exporter of agricultural and mineral commodities and a growing force in energy production, Brazil is becoming a key destination for international business and investment.
Global Leadership through Sustainability and Infrastructure
The country's rapid progress in international trade, sustainable energy, and infrastructure development is establishing it as a global leader in decarbonization and economic resilience. Macquarie has supported Brazil's rise in these sectors over the past 25 years, helping enhance its influence on the world stage.
Regional Influence and Strategic Partnerships
As South America’s largest and most populous country, Brazil has been a pioneer for the continent, advancing infrastructure projects and building strategic partnerships that boost its role in global commerce.
“The yearly climate change summit is happening in precisely the right place at exactly the right time.”
“Brazil’s long-standing positioning as an autonomous actor in a multipolar world, its role as a leading exporter of agricultural and mineral resources, and its growing significance in energy production ensures it’s increasingly a focal point for international business and investment.”
