| Objective / Goal |
This readiness proposal will focus predominantly on cattle and soybeans supply chains in the “Legal Amazon”, the official designation by the Brazilian Bureau of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), of the area that shares identical conditions formed by the states of Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima, Tocantins and Mato Grosso, and part of the state of Maranhão. It has an approximate area of 5,217,423 km², which corresponds to about 61% of the Brazilian territory. This proposal aims at reducing GHG emissions by addressing the information gap caused by data being scattered among different entities, in private, public and nongovernmental sectors, that currently do not interact or exchange information, preventing a proper assessment of the situation, more efficient policy design and incentives. It will also favor increasing and organizing the interactions with key stakeholders involved: business associations, NGOs, trading companies, point of sales representatives, certification companies, and producers. This will lead into an enabling environment for enhanced private sector participation in emissions reduction. |
