SCC Brazil Network
SCC Brazil is building a women-led climate movement rooted in regeneration, equity, and climate justice across Brazil’s diverse biomes. We support women on the frontlines—especially young activists and women in agriculture—through capacity building, visibility, and collaboration. We connect local action to global policy by linking grassroots leaders with decision-makers, funders, and institutions. Our cross-sector network spans government, business, and civil society, expanding access to spaces where women can influence and scale climate solutions. With Brazil leading in nature-based solutions and the bioeconomy, SCC Brazil ensures women are at the center of this transition—restoring ecosystems, advancing climate justice, and shaping a more inclusive future
