Apagão de dados de desmatamento no Cerrado seria grave retrocesso
Summary
The Climate Policy Initiative warns that Brazil faces a potential cessation of official deforestation data for the Cerrado biome starting in April 2022 due to a lack of guaranteed funding for the National Institute for Space Research (INPE).
Key insights
- The National Institute for Space Research (INPE) possesses the technical capacity to monitor the Cerrado, but a lack of guaranteed funding means official deforestation data production may cease starting in April 2022.
- The loss of monitoring data for the Cerrado would hinder scientific production, restrict civil society's access to information, and prevent the Brazilian productive sector from using transparency as a commercial advantage in global markets.
- Nearly half of the Cerrado's native vegetation has been deforested, primarily driven by the expansion of agriculture and livestock; without data, Brazil will be unable to monitor its climate goals, risking its international reputation.
