14. Challenges
• Being a pioneer: establish a compliance market
and alternative markets
• Demonstrate that states can contribute to the
achievement of the federal government targets:
The Amazon region is responsible for almost all
Brazilian emissions reduction targets
• Validate a statewide Reference Level (RL) when
the federal government does not have a
registered RL.
• Maintain the state interested in investing in this
program
• Are poverty alleviation and environmental
conservation possible?
