Existe uma mobilizacao global em prol de iniciativas de mitigacao e adaptacao as mudancas climaticas, com a intensificacao das discussoes sobre o tema na academia e nos foruns internacionais. Diante disso, a preservacao das florestas tropicais tem ganhado especial atencao, tendo em vista seu potencial mitigador (BUSCH; FERETTI-GALLON, 2014) e, tambem, as consequencias regionais do desmatamento e da degradacao das florestas (NOBRE et al., 2009). Nesse contexto, a REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation and Enhancement of Carbon Stocks) tem desenvolvido parcerias para disseminar conhecimento e alavancar fundos para a promocao de iniciativas de protecao as florestas dos paises em desenvolvimento (ANGELSEN, 2012; UN-REDD, 2015). A insercao do Brasil na REDD+ e as politicas nacionais para a reducao do desmatamento na Amazonia Legal1 tem sido largamente discutidas em foruns domesticos e internacionais.//There is a global mobilization in support of mitigation and adaptation initiatives to climate change, with the intensification of discussions on the topic in academia and in international forums. Therefore, the preservation of tropical forests has gained special attention, given its mitigating potential (BUSCH; Feretti-GALLON, 2014) (. NOBLE et al, 2009) and also the regional consequences of deforestation and forest degradation . In this context, the REDD + (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation and Enhancement of Carbon Stocks) has developed partnerships to disseminate knowledge and leverage funds to promote initiatives to protect forests in developing countries (Angelsen, 2012; UN-REDD, 2015). The insertion of Brazil in REDD + and national policies to reduce deforestation in the Amazon legal1 have been widely discussed in domestic and international forums.
