N2 - This article identifies forest and climate change public policy instruments in Brazil.
The country created a complex network of forest protection, deforestation control policies and
Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) instruments, culminating with institutional
arrangements for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+).
Brazil’s positions at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
negotiations relied on a diverse pattern of leadership, blockage, and flexibility. Under the
Warsaw REDD+ Framework, Brazil reduced 8,2 billion tons of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) and
received almost 1,4 billion American dollars as results-based payments, by the end of 2018.
