Abstract
This article identifies forest and climate change public policy instruments in Brazil. The country created a complex network of forest protection, deforestation control policies and Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) instruments, culminating with institutional arrangements for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+). Brazil’s positions at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) negotiations relied on a diverse pattern of leadership, blockage, and flexibility. Under the Warsaw REDD+ Framework, Brazil reduced 8,2 billion tons of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) and received almost 1,4 billion American dollars as results-based payments, by the end of 2018.

While international cooperation has been considered a critical enabler for developing countries and vulnerable regions (IPCC, 2018, p. 23), the scale of potential impacts will depend on the capabilities of each member of the international system to deal with asymmetries of power, development/technological disparities, and conflicting political orientation towards the treatment of the climate change problem
From the Citizen’s Constitution to REDD+: Domestic and International Policy Instruments Intersecting Climate Change and Forestry in Brazil From 1988 to 2018 proposes the concept of Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation (RED); b) when it establishes the Amazon Fund as a policy instrument to implement the concept of results-based payments; c) when it proposes the creation of a REDD+ window within the GCF; d) when it supports the creation of Article 5 within the Paris Agreement, a key bargaining element to developing countries to operationalize the REDD+ Warsaw Framework
