GOVERNANÇA, ÁREA DE INFLUÊNCIA E RISCOS AMBIENTAIS DE INVESTIMENTOS DE INFRAESTRUTURA DE TRANSPORTES: ESTUDOS DE CASO NO ESTADO DO PARÁ

This report by the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI/PUC-Rio) analyzes the governance, influence areas, and environmental risks of four federal transport infrastructure projects in the state of Pará: the Ferrogrão railway and the BR-155/158, BR-163/230/MT/PA, and BR-230 highways. The study highlights a systemic lack of transparency in socio-environmental documentation and uses a market-access methodology to quantify the risk of deforestation associated with these projects.

• The implementation of the four analyzed infrastructure projects (Ferrogrão, BR-155/158, BR-163/230/MT/PA, and BR-230) threatens nearly 7,000 square kilometers of native vegetation in the Amazon, with 3,800 square kilometers located specifically within the state of Pará.
• To strengthen territorial governance and combat deforestation caused by these projects, an annual increase of US$ 43 million in resources is required (based on a mitigation cost of US$ 5/tCOe), of which US$ 23 million would be allocated to actions in Pará.
• The BR-163/230/MT/PA highway project presents the highest environmental risk among the cases, with a projected loss of 3,670 square kilometers of forest over 30 years, including 1,857 square kilometers in Pará, representing a carbon loss of approximately US$ 5.36 billion.
• The BR-155/158 highway project, which spans approximately 1,135 km, is estimated to cause a loss of 1,774 square kilometers of forest over 30 years (1,383 square kilometers in Pará), with a carbon loss of US$ 2.6 billion.
• The EF-170 Ferrogrão railway project, connecting Sinop (MT) to Miritituba (PA), is projected to result in a loss of 1,273 square kilometers of forest over 30 years, with 254 square kilometers in Pará, and a carbon loss of US$ 1.86 billion.
• The paving of the BR-230 highway between Medicilândia and Campo Verde (PA) is estimated to cause a loss of 272 square kilometers of forest over 30 years, with a carbon loss of US$ 400 million.
• There is a significant lack of transparency regarding socio-environmental studies and documents for federal transport projects, which limits the ability of civil society, academia, and other government entities to monitor and evaluate these projects.
• The study found that the four analyzed projects did not necessarily follow a logical sequence of life cycle stages, and the state of Pará is encouraged to seek dialogue with the federal government as early as possible to incorporate local demands.
