Brazil's commitment to 2020 is set out in the Copenhagen Agreement of 2009

Reduction of CO2 Emissions

Commitment: Reduce Emissions by 1.24 Gigatons

How we are: The deforestation reduction in the Amazon and Cerrado alone has mitigated CO2 emissions by 2.28 Gigatons

In the last decades, Brazil has built one of the most robust sets of norms and laws in the world to ensure the sustainable production and rational use of its natural resources.

Additionally, we have private initiatives in the main production chains that reinforce this commitment

FrameworkLegal

Monitoring

Brazil has invested and developed very sophisticated systems to monitor everything that goes on in the Amazon. Today, different agencies monitor the region such as INPE, EMBRAPA, IBGE and CENSIPAM

Official databases are able to show in detail everything that goes on. And these technologies advance every day. They will be increasingly effective
