The Project
Catavento, in partnership with the Brazilian Center for International Relations (CEBRI), led an initiative focused on carbon accounting and product-level emissions intensity standards in order to support COP30 Presidency on this topic.
The objectives of the initiative were to: (i) analyze the key challenges in establishing globally-aligned carbon accounting and product intensity standards that ensure comparability across different industries and unlock market forces to accelerate the energy transition and (ii) identify recommendations to be presented to the COP30 Presidency on how to address these challenges by leveraging lessons learned from existing initiatives and proposing possible pathways forward.
To this end, throughout June 2025, Catavento conducted a series of interviews with key stakeholders from 12 global and Brazilian institutions actively engaged in the carbon accounting agenda. These discussions culminated in a high-level roundtable held on July/2025, which brought together senior executives from various sectors, think tanks, standard setters, academic institutions, and global organizations.
The insights gathered during the interviews and roundtable have been consolidated into a Strategic Insights Report, which has been shared with the COP30 Presidency.

The Conference of the Parties (COP) is the world’s largest forum for discussions and negotiations on climate change. The conference takes place annually, with the presidency rotating among the five regions recognized by the United Nations. In 2025, Brazil will host COP30, and in this context, several complementary initiatives are underway to support the Presidency in advancing the climate agenda.
