Brazil Land-Use and Emissions Projections for Net-Zero Pathways (2020-2050)

Scenario-based projections of land use, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy system indicators for Brazil from 2020 to 2050 at five-year intervals. The Environmental Information Data Centre dataset was generated using the GLOBIOM-Brazil and BLUES integrated assessment models. It includes a baseline and multiple mitigation pathways designed to achieve net-zero emissions in Brazil by 2050.

Use Cases

• Compare alternative development and mitigation pathways based on scenario projections.
• Analyze interactions between land, energy, and greenhouse gas emissions based on integrated model outputs.
• Project agricultural production and cattle herd size under different climate policy scenarios.
• Model biofuel production and primary energy supply for Brazil's energy transition.

Strengths

• Projections cover a 30-year time range from 2020 to 2050.
• Includes spatially explicit land-use outputs using GLOBIOM-Brazil ColRow grid identifiers.
• Combines outputs from two integrated assessment models: GLOBIOM-Brazil and BLUES.
• Covers the entire national territory of Brazil.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
