"This article discusses the simplification of the debate related to decisions which prioritize the Amazon biome when building the Brazilian REDD strategy--a mechanism to fund climate change mitigation initiatives. Based on an analysis of different priorities for a REDD strategy, the article criticizes the present process of developing the Brazilian REDD strategy which focuses on the Amazon. The article highlights that the strategy does not take into account the current potential of each Brazilian biome in developing a national strategy which conciliates emissions reductions and the sustainable development of Brazil. It is recommended that, before defining the design of the strategy, decision-makers study the current potential of each Brazilian biome in contributing to the goals of the Brazilian REDD strategy." |
