The 2030 Agenda is a plan created in 2015 by the member states of the United Nations – UN and brings together 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The actions of the AMAZONAS 2030 program are aligned with these SDGs, aiming at the eradication of poverty and hunger and promoting the social, sustainable and economic development of our people.

How it works

To receive the funds from the carbon emission reductions, the Amazonas 2030 Fund will be created and it will raise funds to finance the sustainable development agenda and combat the impacts of climate change.

The Amazonas 2030 Fund will be managed by the Amazonian Company for Development and Mobilization of Assets (CADA), which will sell the carbon credits obtained via CONAREDD+, as a consequence, the Government of Amazonas is committed to using the investments received in the priority areas of the Amazonas 2030 Program. recebidos nas áreas prioritárias do Programa Amazonas 2030.

Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Deforestation in the Legal Amazon (PPCDAm)

It focuses on mitigating greenhouse gas emissions related to land use, land use change, and forests. In addition, the PPCDAm also includes measures to support sustainable economic activity in the region, such as the development of conservation projects and sustainable use of forest resources, as well as support for economic activities that are alternatives to extractive activity.

Low Carbon Agriculture (2020/2030)

The Low Carbon Agriculture Plan refers to the global strategy of the Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change and Low Carbon Emissions in Agriculture, with a view to sustainable development, to be implemented from 2020 to 2030.

Crop Guarantee /Amazonas

The Crop Guarantee Program is an action of the National Program for the Strengthening of Family Agriculture (PRONAF) to guarantee minimum survival conditions for family farmers in municipalities affected by the drought. The 2022/2023 harvest estimation is that 658 farmers from 6 municipalities in the Juruá Microregion. If the loss of 50% of the crop in the municipalities is proven, each family farmer adhering to the program will receive a benefit in the amount of R$1,200.00 per year (one thousand two hundred reais) per year.

Forest School

The project of the Government of Amazonas includes the construction of 03 (three) units in areas of environmental protection and sustainable development reserves. The schools were designed to have a low environmental impact and are being built in a sustainable model, with the use of wood from sustainable forest management and also wood subject to seizure from illegal extraction activities.

REDD+ Carbon Project Proposals

Call for Proposals for REDD+ Carbon Projects to support initiatives to reduce deforestation and emissions in Conservation Units.

Guardians of the Forest

The Guardians of the Forest program is managed with resources from the Government of Amazonas and is considered one of the largest Payments for Environmental Services (PES) systems in the world. This program is aimed at traditional populations that have made a formal commitment to zero illegal deforestation and participation in activities that promote conservation, as a reward, financial resources are allocated for the environmental service provided. Riverside dwellers of the Conservation Units (UC) and small farmers who live or enjoy the surroundings of the UCs and settlements are contemplated.

Center for Environmental Monitoring and Protected Areas – CMAAP/IPAAM

Remote environmental monitoring center, which uses geotechnologies and medium and high resolution satellite images with the crossing of geospatial databases to restrain environmental degradation.

Pirarucu Community Management Project

Promote the development of the managed pirarucu (amazon fish) production chain, through technical support in all stages of management, transfer of fishing materials and incentive in the generation of income for riverine populations and in the conservation of the species for present and future generations.

Prolimestone Program

Encourage the use of limestone in soil correction in degraded areas, with the objective of promoting the improvement of its fertility, increasing the productivity of the areas with the economic exploitation of grains, fruit growing, industrial crops, without the need for new deforestation.

Promechanization Program

Use of agricultural machinery and implements in the recovery of degraded areas, contributing to productivity through the improvement of the physical conditions of the previously unused soil, favoring the exploitation of grain production, fruit growing, industrial crops without the need for new deforestation.

Sustainable Energy

Financing projects and initiatives that stimulate the production and use of renewable energy sources, in addition to promoting energy efficiency and the consequent reduction of the impact on the environment.
