Brazil has a monitoring system to track annual forest conversion in the Amazon and most recently monitor Cerrado biome. However, there is still gap of land use cover (LULC) information all Brazilian biomes country. Existing countrywide efforts map lack regularly updates high spatial resolution time-series data better understand historical dynamics, subsequent impacts country biomes. In this study, we described novel approach results achieved by multi-disciplinary network called MapBiomas...
Halving carbon emissions from tropical deforestation by 2020 could help bring the international community closer to agreed goal of <2 degree increase in global average temperature change and is consistent with a target set last year governments, corporations, indigenous peoples' organizations non-governmental that signed New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF). We assemble refine robust dataset establish 2001-2013 benchmark for annual gross at 2.270 Gt CO2 yr(-1). Brazil did not sign NYDF,...
Abstract This work presents the SEEG platform, a 46-year long dataset of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in Brazil (1970–2015) providing more than 2 million data records for Agriculture, Energy, Industry, Waste and Land Use Change Sectors at national subnational levels. The was developed by Climate Observatory, Brazilian civil society initiative, based on IPCC guidelines National Inventories embedded with country specific emission factors processes, raw from multiple official non-official...
Abstract Amazon deforestation has been growing since 2012 and more recently under record rates. In fact, a new wave of rainforest destruction is on, challenging environmental agencies policymakers. Political negligence boosted in the Amazon, when coupled with drives that we already know about, as well exempting offenders clearing way to major infrastructure projects, addition weakening command control policies. this letter, share perspectives on dynamics alerts Brazilian action public...
Most of the world's nations (around 130) have committed to reaching net-zero carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, yet robust policies rarely underpin these ambitions. To investigate whether existing and expected national will allow Brazil meet its GHG pledge we applied a detailed regional integrated assessment modelling approach. This included quantifying role nature-based solutions, such as protection restoration ecosystems, engineered bioenergy with capture storage....
Abstract Brazil ranks fifth in greenhouse gas emissions globally due to land use change. As a signatory the Paris Agreement, must periodically report its GHG as well present mitigation targets set Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The SEEG Initiative (Greenhouse Gas Emission and Removal Estimating System) generates independent estimates of removals since 2013, 2020, estimation method for change sector has been improved. This study aimed (1) these methodological advancements,...
The spatial distribution of votes for the 2022’s presidential election in Brazil overlaid with range Brazilian biomes indicated a political division within these ecoregions. A high number supporters to far-right concentrated southern Amazon, while concentration center-left wing was observed most pristine region Amazon and also Caatinga biome. In Legal there strong positive relation between proportion per municipality former president Jair Bolsonaro total forest loss accumulated last 36 years...
Over 130 countries have committed to reaching net-zero CO2 or GHG emissions by 2050, yet this ambition is rarely underpinned robust policies. By applying a detailed integrated assessment modelling approach for Brazil, we assess, the first time, extent which existing and planned local policies could put Brazil on path its net zero pledge. This includes quantifying role of nature-based solutions, such as protection restoration, engineered bioenergy with carbon capture storage (BECCS). We show...
Da década de 1970 em diante, a Amazônia viveu sua transformação mais profunda, torrando-se uma fornecedora commodities e energia para o mercado nacional internacional, através da extração recursos naturais. As condições vida não apresentaram melhora relevante os conflitos sociais violência se generalizaram, afetando especialmente povos indígenas as comunidades locais. Os esforços conservação também tornaram globalizados obtiveram resultados significativos. A redução 84% no desmatamento...
