Activities summary

There are a relatively large number of ongoing REDD activities in Brazil. At the  subnational level, Brazil has several state-led activities, including the Bolsa Floresta Programme, launched in the State of Amazonas in 2007; and the recently created Program for Incentives of Environmental Services, that was outlined in the State of Acre’s System for Environmental Services' Incentives. Around ten REDD projects are also being implemented in Brazil, several of these are already delivering emissions reductions e.g. the Juma Reserve Project and have been certified by standards such as the Climate Community and Biodiversity standards, in the State of Amazonas, whereas others are in an advanced phase of design.
