Deforestation and environmental imbalance in the Amazon
CONTROL OF DEFORESTATION AND SIMULATION OF INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN THE AMAZON
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
After surveying the state of the art of the technologies available for mitigation in the AFOLU sector, multi-criteria analyzes and meetings with stakeholders were carried out to prioritize and elaborate the TAPs. After selecting the priority technologies, an extensive analysis of the value chains and barriers to implementation was carried out. Finally, actions and activities were proposed to overcome barriers considering risk analysis, contingency measures and implementation cost estimates.
RESULTS
Among the key results achieved so far is the SeloVerde Pará platform. Developed in partnership with the Federal University of Minas Gerais and the State of Pará, the platform enables the assessment of the environmental balance of each rural property and the level of agricultural production contamination, whether through direct or indirect purchases in deforested areas. Additional information, such as land cover and socio-environmental enforcement results, can also be accessed by entering the CAR code of the properties of interest.
