Aquecimento global: acordos internacionais, emissões de CO2 e o surgimento dos mercados de carbono no mundo

Abstract

This paper exposes the Brazilian National Determined Contribution (NDC) for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GEE), until 2025, as defined in the Paris Agreement, approved in the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP 21), in 2015.* The Brazilian NDC estimates a reduction of 37% of the country’s GEE emissions, compared to 2005. The imposition of a quantified and predetermined emission trajectory for “the parties” not only contributed to the development of geoengeneering techniques (carbon dioxide removal, weathering, amplifying Earth’s reflectiveness – also called Albedo) but also induced, therefore, the creation of several carbon markets, all over the world.
