Neutralização de carbono: uma proposta ao Plano de Desenvolvimento Regional da Amazônia (PRDA)

Abstract

The Regional Development Plan for the Amazon (PRDA) is the regional development planning instrument that guides SUDAM's actions, which as a public policy must contribute to sustainable development. Among its pillars is the environmental axis, which should promote the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. The implementation of the projects provided for in the PRDA impacts the environment and produces the release of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) in the Amazon region, contributing to global warming, climate change and impacts resulting from the greenhouse effect. The search for the transition to a low carbon economy is essential for the impacts of warming to be mitigated and for sustainable development. Carbon Neutralization is an alternative to combat GHG emissions and the imbalance of the greenhouse effect. This technique provides the generation of environmental services to offset or credit emissions: REDD+ and CDM, providing a reduction in anthropic actions with an increase in carbon stocks. The work proposes that the PRDA projects neutralize their emissions, monitor the indicator and contribute to environmental services in the Amazon Region. The theoretical framework's framework is based on legislation on the environment, public policy, sustainable development, mechanisms for mitigating the greenhouse effect and the incorporation of a new procedure for the environmental axis in SUDAM's processes. The theories that led the work were the theories of systems and sustainable development because they consider the issues from the whole. The methodology that served to structure the work is exploratory carried out from a bibliographic and documentary survey, through a survey of the collection related to the subject in which the intervention that contributes to a decarbonized economy is sought. The research conducted confirmed the hypothesis since the PRDA has a socio-environmental responsibility in the Amazon region and it can assume commitments to reduce or offset the emission of greenhouse gases and may contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change on the planet from the adoption of carbon neutralization in the projects that make up the plan, consequently, generating stimuli and induction for environmental services aimed at generating carbon credits.
