  3. GLOBAL CO2 EMISSIONS AND DEFORESTATION ~80% Fossil Fuel ~20% Land Deforestation

  4. DEFORESTATION VS FOSSIL FUELS

  5. MAJOR DEFORESTATION COUNTRIES (2000) GHGs (MtC eq) WRI (2005)

  6. DEFORESTATION IN THE BRAZILIAN AMAZON (2003) 2.4 millions ha/yr deforested 60 millions ha deforested 16% of Brazilian Amazon Deforestation2002/2003 Deforestation until 2002 Fonte: INPE PRODES Digital, 2004.

  7. 2050 BUSINESS AS USUAL • Deforested 2,698,735 km2 (16 PgC by 2050) • Forest 3,320,409 km2 • Non-forest 1,497,685 km2 500 km Soares-Filho et al. 2004

  8. 2050 ALTERNATIVE SCENARIO • Deforested 1,655,734 km2 (Reduction: 40%) • Forest 4,363,410 km2 • Non-forest 1,497,685 km2 500 km Solutions:- Public governance & Law enforcement- Land use management- Sustainable forest management- Protected areas Soares-Filho et al. 2004

  9. ENERGY SECTOR

  10. IN BRASIL By 2020- Growth in power consumption slashed by 40%- Power avoided = five times the Itaipu hydropower plant - USD 15 Billion savings, 10M new jobs

  11. SOLUTION 1 DOMESTIC APPLIANCES • Represent a 1/3 of residential power demand • According to IEA, potential for large power savings • By 2020, ambitious efficiency standards would: Reduce average refrigerator consumption by 40% Energy savings of over 4.5 Billion USD

  12. THE PROBLEMELECTRIC WATER HEATERS • 1/3 of home electricity bills, 8% of national power needs • Consumers’ cost ~ $ 10 • $ 1800 in electricity generation and distribution • Electric water heating for 5 million new homes = one large dam in the Amazon or 5 coal fired power station

  13. SOLUTION 2SOLAR WATER HEATERS • Consumers’ cost ~ 1100 for 4-people solar water heater • Monthly power bill cut by up to 50%, bay-back period of 3 years • Architectural and consumers’ credit barriers

  14. SOLUTION 3BIOFUELS Growing production/trade of biofuels Biofuels are a climate solution provided the reduce GHGs emissions Potential pilot project in Brazil to produce sustianable biofuels (eg biofuels supply for the bus fleet of the London Greater Authority
