8 Updated from Le Quéré et al. 2009, Nature Geoscience LUC emissions now ~10% of total CO 2 emissions CO 2 emissions (PgC y -1 ) Fossil fuel Land use change 10 8 6 4 2 1960 20101970 1990 2000 1980 Time (y) CO 2 Emissions: fossil fuels and land use

9 Governance + markets + technology >> REDD+ Reducing deforestation in Amazonia

10 “By 2020, Brazil will reduce deforestation by 80% relative to 2005.” (pres. Lula in Copenhagen COP-15)

12 Transparency builds governance 500.000 registrations 46 million protests

13 What could be the size of REDD? 10% REDD Reduction of developed countries 46,2 Gt CO2eq REDD 4,62 Gt CO2eq To maintain environmental integrity, REDD should be at most 10% of the commitments of developed countries, if they agree to reduce their emissions by 50% between 2010 and 2020

14 What could be the size of REDD in Brazil? REDD 4,62 Gt CO2eq Proposed reduction 4,9 Gt CO2eq From 2010 to 2020, the emissions cuts proposed by Brazil would be larger than the entire worldwide market for REDD

23 Brazil: a natural knowledge economy? Brazil´s innovation system is in large part built upon its natural and environmental resources, endowments and assets.

24 Deforestation cut by 300% (2005-09) 46% of energy is renewable Brazil: a natural knowledge economy Best technology in biofuels World leader in tropical agriculture
