The Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, Marina Silva, defended this Thursday (6) that a second stage of the tax reform adopt instruments that stimulate the low-carbon economy.
According to Marina, who participated in the Brazil Investment Forum event at Bradesco BBI, the portfolio works with the idea of consolidating Brazil as a player in a regulated carbon market, despite calls for the country to enter the modality on a voluntary basis. According to her, Brazil wants to be among the “top 10” in the world in the carbon market.
The minister also said that the ministry intends to launch in May the resumption of the Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Deforestation in the Legal Amazon (PPCDam).
Abandoned during the administration of former president Jair Bolsonaro, the plan is undergoing restructuring under Marina’s command for the relaunch.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva took on his third term in office under the promise of ensuring that sustainability serves as one of the bases for decision-making in government.
Marina also reported having suggested to the Minister of Agriculture, Carlos Fávaro, to transform the Safra Plan into a low-carbon agriculture program, with a timetable.
He also stated that the portfolio works to expand forest concessions to degraded areas in public territory.
