Entre inovações e contradições uma análise crítica acerca da implementação do Programa Floresta+ Carbono

Abstract

This paper seeks to analyze the legal, social, and narrative aspects present in the Floresta+ Carbon Project, a mechanism to generate carbon bonds through the conservation and maintenance of the "standing forest". These bonds can be traded in the financial market and are part of the payment for environmental services (PES) framework. Floresta + Carbon is the first major program of this aspect implemented and active in Brazil, therefore an emblematic case to observe the aspects that surround the "sustainable development" narratives, which seek to enable the continuity of the capitalist production model. In this sense, through bibliographical research in official State documents and theoretical references, it is essential to investigate the premises that underlie the Project and its implementation from the perspective of human rights, constitutional rights, and environmental justice.
