Impactos das Decisões do STF em Políticas de Governança de Terras: Estudo de Caso da ADPF 743

This report analyzes the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF) case ADPF 743 as a study of how judicial decisions can catalyze institutional cooperation and accelerate land governance policies. While originally focused on combating deforestation and fires in the Amazon and Pantanal, the case evolved into a 'structural process' that mandates the integration of environmental, land, and registry databases to improve land administration and environmental control.

• The ADPF 743 case evolved from a specific legal action against deforestation and fires into a 'structural process' that reorganizes administrative structures and monitors the implementation of public policies through continuous institutional follow-up, including technical meetings and periodic monitoring.
• The STF identified that structural factors contributing to deforestation include the lack of adequate land regularization, the existence of extensive unallocated public areas, and cadastral fragmentation.
• The court mandated the creation of a 'Plano de Integração de Dados e Aprimoramento dos Sistemas Federais de Gestão Ambiental e Territorial' to ensure interoperability between environmental, land, and registry systems, specifically mentioning CAR, SICAR, SIGEF, and SNCR.
• Judicial intervention led to the establishment of formal administrative coordination bodies, such as the Interministerial Management Committee created by Joint Ordinance MGI/MMA/MDA/AGU No. 14/2025, to manage the data integration plan.
• The STF expanded the scope of the action to include the land registry system, resulting in Technical Cooperation Agreement (ACT) No. 32/2025 between the National Registry Operator (ONR), Incra, and the CNJ to enable the sharing of structured registry information via APIs.
• A March 2026 decision highlighted significant data quality issues, noting that over 96% of the registry records provided under the cooperation agreement contained incomplete information, which hindered integration with systems like the CAR.
• The court has intervened in land regularization policy by determining that the Union and states must adopt measures to prevent the regularization of land where environmental crimes have been committed.
• While the Union requested the closure of the executive phase in late 2025, claiming institutional capacity had been restored, amici curiae argued that fragilities persist regarding budget programming, low CAR validation rates, and overlapping records in protected areas.
