Cenário do mercado regulado de MDL no nordeste do Brasil

Abstract

Throughout this work a descriptive study was carried out, using bibliographical research from secondary sources. The book discusses the economic theory behind the carbon market, the evolution of the economic approach to economic-environmental development, and the estimation of the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in Brazil, by economic sector. It was verified that after the Kyoto treaty three mechanisms of flexibilization were created to control the emission of these gases: Emissions Trading, Joint Implementation and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). Only in the latter is it possible for countries in that have ratified the protocol, such as Brazil. The CDM is project-based. Certified Emission Reductions (CERs), which are marketed, are issued with the registration and monitoring of these, each CER corresponding to one tonne of carbon equivalent that is no longer emitted or has been mitigated from the atmosphere. The logic behind this is that the gases are transboundary, so it is a matter of social relevance, and this mitigation occurring anywhere on the planet is beneficial as a whole. The objective is to demonstrate a more illuminating literature on the economic theories behind environmental markets, and specifically the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Carbon Credit Regulated Market. Also, view GHG emissions in Brazil. It was also analyzed the number and types of projects related to this theme, implemented in the Northeast Region. It was verified that the highest percentage of GHG emissions in Brazil comes from agricultural activities, as evidenced by economic activities in agriculture and in much of the land use change sector.
