Voluntary carbon market and its contributions to sustainable development: analysis of the Monte Pascoal–Pau Brazil Ecological Corridor

This paper aims to analyse the co-benefits of reforestation projects developed in the voluntary carbon market based on the analysis of a single case study: the ecological corridor project Monte Pascoal-Pau Brazil, the first forest restoration project in Latin America to receive the seal climate community and biodiversity (CCB). To achieve this purpose, the research combined: i) primary sources, obtained from visits and interviews with key actors and script for semi-structured, with; ii) secondary sources, including reports of institutions on this theme and references. The results presented showed that forestry projects have positive co-benefits beyond those achieved in reducing deforestation and carbon sequestration, whether in environmental and social benefits. The case study had interesting picture of forest governance, growing in transparent structures of popular participation, but has exposed deficiencies in the sector, as the absence of a strong institutional framework - which leads to legal uncertainty and policy.

Carbon market and global climate governance: limitations and challenges

Climate change has been a challenge to international diplomacy and to global climate governance (GCG) involving governments, companies and civil society. This paper discusses the limitations and challenges of the global carbon market as a mechanism of GCG and its role in the post-Kyoto period. This study is part of an interdisciplinary and multi-institutional research about GCG and carbon market and it is based on a deep literature review of national and international academic publications, as well as institutional documents from the United Nations international panel on climate changes (IPCC) and UN framework convention on climate change (UNFCCC). The findings reveal the limitations and challenges of the carbon market as a GCG mechanism to face the climate change. It defends the necessity of developing countries to strengthen their national and sub-national regulations in direction to a low carbon economy.

Análise das Contribuições dos Projetos do Mercado de Carbono para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável do Semiárido Brasileiro

O presente artigo analisa os co-beneficios em prol do Desenvolvimento Sustentavel (DS) provenientes dos projetos desenvolvidos nos mercados regulado e voluntario de carbono na regiao semiarida brasileira. O estudo e apoiado em pesquisa documental e analise de conteudo de 10 projetos de reducao de Gases do Efeito Estufa (GEE) a luz de uma matriz analitica construida a partir de estudos da United Nations Framework on Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC). Os resultados apresentados evidenciaram que os projetos realizados no semiarido, no periodo pesquisado, trazem poucos co-beneficios para o DS e maior enfase na dimensao ambiental do que nas demais. Os co-beneficios ligados a preservacao dos recursos naturais como conservacao das matas, utilizacao de recurso natural abundante (ventos) e reducao da poluicao dos recursos hidricos foram encontrados nos projetos de cerâmica, energia eolica e suinocultura, respectivamente. Sendo assim, esses aspectos observados sao essenciais para auxiliar nas propostas de convivencia com o semiarido e na promocao do DS do territorio estudado.
