Deforestation and environmental imbalance in the Amazon
FIRE MONITORING IN MATO GROSSO
The project aims to establish a national consensus for the elaboration of a Technological Action Plan (TAP), considering priority sectors and key technologies for meeting the mitigation goals. As a result, it aims to prepare an official document from Brazil to be submitted to the UNFCCC, which will provide subsidies for prioritizing investments in climate technologies. In the first phase of the project, priority technologies were defined for Brazil to reach its emission targets for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions in the Agriculture, Forestry and other Land Uses (AFOLU) sector. The second phase involved the preparation of Technological Action Plans (TAP) for each prioritized technology with a view to its implementation by 2030.
METHODOLOGY
To assess the risk of fire spread, a model will be developed on the DINAMICA EGO platform that predicts fire behavior in the state based on an ignition point and a set of environmental variables. The results will be disseminated in the form of texts and videos directed to key actors and local media informing about fire risks and damages, in order to help the competent authorities to promptly prevent forest fires. Furthermore, as a form of social awareness and provision of technical assistance, landowners will be encouraged to adopt better land use practices that reduce the risk of fires.
RESULTS
Shortly.
