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

The report analyzes four federal transport projects in Pará: Ferrogrão, BR-155/158, BR-163/230/MT/PA, and BR-230. It finds that these projects collectively risk nearly 7,000 square kilometers of native Amazon vegetation, with over half of the impact occurring in Pará. The study highlights a systemic lack of transparency regarding socio-environmental documents and argues that the state government should engage in early dialogue with federal authorities to incorporate mitigation costs into project designs. Using a 'market access' methodology, the report quantifies the indirect deforestation risks and suggests that mitigation through funds like the Amazon Fund is more cost-effective than paying the social cost of carbon.

• The four analyzed infrastructure projects—Ferrogrão, BR-155/158, BR-163/230/MT/PA, and BR-230—collectively threaten nearly 7,000 square kilometers of native Amazon vegetation, with 3,800 square kilometers located within the state of Pará.
• Mitigating the deforestation risks of these four projects would require an annual increase of US$ 43 million in resources for territorial governance and deforestation combat, with US$ 23 million specifically for actions in Pará, based on a mitigation cost of US$ 5/tCOe.
• There is a significant lack of transparency in the transport sector, as socio-environmental documents and studies are often difficult to access or unavailable on government websites, which limits the ability of civil society and other government levels to monitor projects.
• The BR-155/158 highway concession project is estimated to cause a loss of 1,774 square kilometers of forest over 30 years (1,383 square kilometers in Pará), representing a carbon loss valued at approximately US$ 2.6 billion using a social cost of carbon of US$ 40/tCOe.
• The Ferrogrão railway project is projected to cause a loss of 1,273 square kilometers of forest over 30 years (254 square kilometers in Pará), with a carbon loss estimated at US$ 1.86 billion.
• The BR-163/230/MT/PA highway concession presents the highest deforestation risk among the studied projects, with an estimated loss of 3,670 square kilometers over 30 years, including 1,857 square kilometers in Pará, and a carbon loss of US$ 5.36 billion.
• The BR-230 paving project is estimated to result in a loss of 272 square kilometers of forest over 30 years, with a carbon loss of approximately US$ 400 million.
