7. Policy on Climate Change
• Networking with other environmental NGOs
• Brazilian Forum on Climate Change, and local forums
• Strengthen the role of natural areas in mitigating and adapting to climate
change
• Since 2009 is registered as an observer member of the UNFCCC
• Contribution to National Plan for Adaptation through the elaboration of
studies, participation in public consultations and workshops
ECOSYSTEM-BASED ADAPTATION: opportunities for public
policies in climate change - http://goo.gl/umgZhl
EBA:The use of biodiversity and ecosystem services to help people
adapt to the adverse effects of climate change”
• Participation with government, universities and other NGOs in the
development of a tool for use by civil society in planning adaptation strategies

8. Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA)
There are various approaches for adaptation to climate change, such
as a danger-based approach and management of risks, vulnerabilities,
resilience and ecosystems.
Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) is, therefore, one of the adaptation
strategies existing, and can be used in combination with other
strategies, taking into account the cost-benefit evaluation, the cost-
effectiveness and the co-benefits – that is, the implantation measures for
adaptation to climate change associated with the maintenance of
environmental services and with biodiversity conservation.
Well-managed ecosystems have greater potential for adaptation, and
both resist and recover from the impacts of extreme climate events with
less difficulty; in addition to this, they provide a greater range of
benefits, upon which people depend

available annual
estimation of GHG on a
consistent and accessible
basis
• Increase the capacity of
the civil society to
understand and anticipate
trends related to GHG
emissions and it’s
implications of public policy
Products
• Annual Estimation of
GHG across all sector and
gases
• Analytical Reports
• Web Platform spread the
data, methodology and
supporting documents
• Annual Technical
Seminar

36. SEEG – System for Estimation of GHG Emissions
SEEG (www.seeg.eco.br) is implemented by the Climate Observatory
Four institutions coordinated the technical process of generation of the estimates:
– Imazon (land use change) http://www.imazon.org.br/
– Imaflora (agriculture) – www.imaflora.org
– IEMA (energy and industrial processes) – http://www.energiaeambiente.org.br/
– ICLEI (waste) – www.iclei.org.br
Foundación Avina and Getúlio Vargas Foundation provide organizational support.
This initiative has received or receives funding from the following organizations:
– OAK Foundation
– Fundación Avina
– Latin American Regional Climate Initiative (LARCI)
– Institute Climate and Society (iCS)
– Climate and Land Use Alliance
– Skoll Foundation
– Porticus Foundation
The overall coordination of SEEG is headed by Tasso Azevedo who design the initial
methodology used as the basis to stablish the system.

43. SEEG - System for Estimation of GHG Emissions
Developed originally as an initiative by the Climate Observatory
First edition in 2013
Online database with free access.
The SEEG data for Brazil includes emissions from 1970 to 2014 related to all segments of the
national economy, all the GHG emissions reported in the national inventory, with
disaggregation of the information at state level.
Spread the SEEG methodology to other countries produce their own emissions estimates from
data available nationally.
Peru
Process started in 2014, during the preparation of the UN Conference on Climate Change
(COP20), organized in Lima. The first edition of SEEG Peru was published in May 2015.
India
a coalition of local civil society organizations. The first edition of SEEG India was published in
July 2016.
