Abstract
EnglishAfter having achieved a 76% decrease in the annual deforestation rate thanks to command and control policies without resorting to market instruments, the Brazilian government is elaborating a national REDD+strategy which relies on the reform of its Forest Code. This article deals with the affirmation of Brazil’s sovereignty over its forest resources through its criticism of the impact of carbon markets as tools for conservation. In spite of tensions with the states, referring to REDD has reinforced the federal government’s administrative actions and regulations, rather than weakening its power. francaisApres avoir obtenu une reduction de 76 % du taux annuel de deforestation grâce a des politiques command and control, independamment du recours aux instruments de marche, le gouvernement bresilien elabore une strategie nationale de REDD + qui s’appuie sur la reforme de son code forestier.
