REDD-PAC policy workshop for Brazil,,

11 September 2012, INPE, São José dos Campos

This one-day workshop was organized by INPE, IPEA, and IIASA and was held at INPE headquarters in São José dos Campos. Around 10 stakeholders from the Brazilian federal government and Brazilian scientists were invited and participated.

It was one of the first steps in building relevant forward-looking policy scenarios for Brazil. The objective was threefold:

1. acquaint Brazilian stakeholders with the REDD-PAC project and the modelling approach which will be used to assess policies
2. review the land-use policies currently implemented in Brazil, and those under discussion
3. investigate how REDD+ could be integrated into the current policy framework.
