Brazil's Federal Government Approves Roadmap to Halt and Reverse Deforestation by 2030, With Legal Amazon Deforestation Down 71.2% From 2022
Brazil's Federal Government approved the Roadmap to halt and reverse deforestation and forest degradation by 2030 on November 6, at the 6th Ordinary Meeting of the Interministerial Committee on Climate Change (CIM) in Brasília. The Roadmap has four main areas of action: forest conservation and sustainable use; forest restoration; continued efforts to combat illegal deforestation and wildfires; and reduction of legal vegetation clearing, supported by economic instruments. The outcomes will be presented at COP31.
According to the Planalto, the annual deforestation rate fell by 71.2% in the Legal Amazon and 48.4% in the Cerrado between 2022 and 2026, reaching the lowest levels in their respective historical series, based on Prodes/Inpe data. The meeting also set guidelines for the Brazilian Emissions Trading System (SBCE) and capped authorisations of internationally transferred mitigation outcomes at 50 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent for 2026–2030. Government documents state that Brazil reduced net emissions by approximately 560 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent between 2022 and 2024, mainly as a result of reduced deforestation.
