Brazil Joins the Urban Transitions Mission Core Group

During the Ministers-Mayors Dialogue, the Urban Transitions Mission (UTM) welcomed Brazil, led by Empresa de Pesquisa Energética (EPE), as a core group member, adding to the growing momentum toward net-zero, resilient, and inclusive urban futures. With six Brazilian cities already part of the UTM cohort, Brazil’s formal inclusion underscores the critical role of multilevel collaboration between cities, nations, and international partners in advancing sustainable energy transitions. As Brazil ramps up its leadership on urban sustainability, its involvement will further align efforts with global objectives on the road to COP30, strengthening the country’s commitment to the goals of the Paris Agreement.

“ In Brazil, 84% of the population resides in urban areas, and long-term projections indicate that this figure will stabilize at around 90%. At EPE, we are committed to assessing how the energy transition can make cities more energy-efficient, resilient, and inclusive. We are pleased to announce that Brazil has formally joined the Urban Transitions Mission as a core member, under the leadership of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, represented by EPE. We look forward to contributing to the growing momentum toward net-zero, resilient, and inclusive urban futures.” says Thiago Prado, President of Empresa de Pesquisa Energetica (EPE).
