This report presents the partial results
related to land use, land-use change and the forestry sector
from a larger multisectoral low-carbon study for Brazil.
Since the 1992 Kyoto Accord, Brazil has been committed to
reducing its carbon emissions. The overall aim of this study
was to support Brazil's efforts to identify
opportunities to reduce its emissions in ways that foster
economic development. The primary objective was to provide
the Brazilian government with the technical inputs needed to
assess the potential and conditions for low-carbon
development in key emitting sectors. To this end, the World
Bank study adopted a programmatic approach in line with the
Brazilian government's long-term development
objectives. These are: to anticipate the future evolution of
Brazil's emissions to establish a Reference Scenario;
identify and quantify lower carbon-intensive options to
mitigate emissions, as well as potential options for carbon
uptake; assess the costs of these low-carbon options,
identify barriers to their adoption, and explore measures to
overcome them; and build a low-carbon emissions scenario
that meets the same development expectations. The study also
analyzed the macroeconomic effects of shifting from the
Reference Scenario to the low-carbon one and the financing
required. Reference-scenario results for these main areas
show that deforestation remains the key driver of
Brazil's future emissions through 2030. The study
evaluated the mitigation and carbon uptake options,
assessing all the relevant sub-sectors for each sector;
determined the viability of the options investigated; and
finally, constructed low-carbon scenarios for each sector to
assist them lowering their greenhous gas (GHG) carbon emissions. |
