The study builds on the best available knowledge and to this effect the study team undertook a broad consultative process and surveyed the copious literature available to identify the need for incremental efforts and centers of excellences. The overall aim of this study was to support Brazil's efforts to identify opportunities to reduce its emissions in ways that foster economic development. The primary objective was to provide the Brazilian government the technical inputs needed to assess the potential and conditions for low-carbon development in key emitting sectors. The Brazil low carbon study aims to support Brazil's continued efforts to foster development while reducing GHG emissions. The World Bank Group has always been committed to supporting growth in developing countries, and in October 2008, it adopted a Strategic Framework on Climate Change and Development (SFCCD) to integrate climate change into the development agenda without compromising growth and poverty reduction efforts. Within the context of the SFCCD, the World Bank has undertaken a series of initiatives to support climate change mitigation within country-led development processes. One of these initiatives has been to coordinate several low-carbon growth studies through close interactions with its longstanding partners. This study is the result of that initiative. In order to build upon the best available knowledge, the study process emphasized a consultative, iterative approach that involved extensive participation by Brazilian experts and government representatives.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGRICULTURAL EMISSIONSAIRAIR POLLUTIONALLOCATIONALTERNATIVE ENERGYAMAZON DEFORESTATIONAMAZON RAINFORESTANNUAL EMISSIONSANNUAL GLOBAL EMISSIONSATLANTIC FORESTATMOSPHEREBIODIVERSITY CONSERVATIONBIOLOGICAL DIVERSITYBIOMASSBUSBUS SYSTEMSBUSESCALCULATIONCAPITAL SUBSIDIESCARBON BALANCECARBON CONTENTCARBON CREDITSCARBON DIOXIDECARBON EMISSIONSCARBON EQUIVALENTCARBON INTENSITYCARBON INVENTORIESCARBON LEAKAGECARBON MARKETCARBON MITIGATIONCARBON PRICECARBON REMOVALCARBON STOCKCARBON TECHNOLOGIESCARBON UPTAKECARSCH4CLEAN ENERGYCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONCOCO2COALCOLORSCONGESTIONCOST OF TRANSPORTCUMULATIVE EMISSIONS REDUCTIONSDEFORESTATIONDEFORESTATION RATESDEGRADED AREASDEGRADED FORESTSDIESELDISCOUNT RATEDOMESTIC EMISSIONSDRIVERSDRIVERS OF DEFORESTATIONECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC BENEFITSECONOMIC COSTSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INCENTIVEECONOMICS OF CLIMATE CHANGEECOSYSTEMEFFECTS OF LAND USEEFFICIENCY GAINSELECTRIC POWERELECTRICITYELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY GENERATION CAPACITYEMISSIONEMISSION REDUCTIONSEMISSIONSEMISSIONS ESTIMATESEMISSIONS FROM AGRICULTUREEMISSIONS FROM DEFORESTATIONEMISSIONS FROM ENERGY PRODUCTIONEMISSIONS FROM LAND USEEMISSIONS GROWTHEMISSIONS INVENTORIESEMISSIONS MITIGATIONEMISSIONS PROFILEEMISSIONS PROJECTIONSEMISSIONS REDUCTIONEMISSIONS REDUCTIONSEMISSIONS RESULTSEMISSIONS SCENARIOENERGY BALANCEENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY DEMANDENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURESENERGY INFORMATION ADMINISTRATIONENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY SOURCESETHANOLFEASIBILITYFINANCIAL INCENTIVEFINANCIAL INCENTIVESFINANCIAL MECHANISMFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL SUPPORTFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFORESTFOREST COVERFOREST DEGRADATIONFOREST PLANTATIONSFOREST PROTECTIONFOREST RECOVERYFOREST RESERVESFOREST SERVICEFORESTRYFORESTRY ACTIVITIESFORESTSFOSSIL FUELFOSSIL FUELSFOSSIL-FUEL EMISSIONSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFREIGHTFREIGHT TRANSPORTFUEL CONSUMPTIONFUEL OILFUEL SUBSTITUTIONFUEL SWITCHINGFUELSGAS SECTORGASOLINEGASOLINE CONSUMPTIONGENERATION CAPACITYGHGGHGSGLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGEGLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITYGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTIONGREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION TARGETGREENHOUSE GASESHFCSIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEINCOMEINTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL SUPPORTIPCCIRONJOBSLAND FOR AGRICULTURELAND USELAND USE CHANGELAND-USE CHANGELAND-USE EMISSIONSLANDFILLLANDFILL GASLANDFILLSLIQUEFIED NATURAL GASLIQUID EFFLUENTSLIQUID WASTELIVESTOCK ACTIVITIESLNGLOW-CARBONMARGINAL ABATEMENTMARGINAL ABATEMENT COSTMETHANEMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTMITIGATION POTENTIALMMAMODAL SHIFTMOTOR VEHICLEN2ONATIONAL EMISSIONSNATURAL GASNATURAL GAS SECTORNEGATIVE IMPACTSNITROGENNITROUS OXIDEOIL PRICESPARTICLESPASSENGER TRAINPASSENGERSPERFLUOROCARBONPERFORMANCE STANDARDPFCSPOWER GENERATIONPOWER PLANTSPRESENT VALUEPRICE DISTORTIONSPRICE INDEXRAILRAINFALLRAPID TRANSITRATE OF DEFORESTATIONREGIONAL TRANSPORTRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCESROADROADSSANITATIONSCENARIOSSF6SOIL CARBONSUGAR CANESULFURSULFUR HEXAFLUORIDESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE ENERGYTAXTEMPERATURETOTAL EMISSIONSTOTAL EMISSIONS REDUCTIONSTRAFFICTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTTRAFFIC MANAGEMENT MEASURESTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT EMISSIONSTRANSPORT MODESTRANSPORT PLANTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SYSTEMSUNCERTAINTIESURBAN BUSURBAN TRANSPORTVEHICLE MANUFACTURERSVEHICLE OWNERSVEHICLESWASTE MANAGEMENTWINDWIND ENERGY10.1596/19286
