This program prepares studies and supports state and federal public policies aimed at reducing emissions from deforestation.
This program aims to reduce emissions from the main sources of GHG in the Amazon, as well as to support actions to prepare and adapt local populations and ecosystems to the impacts of climate change. To this end, its focus is on: preparing studies and supporting state and federal public policies aimed at reducing emissions from deforestation. The objectives are I) to increase the effectiveness of command and control mechanisms and to develop feasible instruments to encourage the maintenance of the standing forest; II) encourage the increase in agricultural productivity without expanding the area and the adoption of practices that reduce direct GHG emissions from cattle raising; and III) stimulate the increase of the reforested and restored area in the Amazon to expand carbon sequestration and adaptation efforts.
