Brazil’s Sectoral Plan for Land-Use Change in Public Areas and Collective Territories is part of the Mitigation Climate Plan framework and plays a central role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from land-use change while also increasing carbon removals by eliminating illegal deforestation, strengthening territorial protection and governance, expanding ecosystem restoration, and conserving native vegetation across public and collective lands. The main objectives are:
- Eliminate illegal deforestation and reduce forest degradation, illegal logging, and vegetation fires.
- Strengthen the protection, management, and governance of public lands, Indigenous territories, protected areas, and collective territories.
- Expand and improve territorial monitoring, enforcement, and land regularization mechanisms.
- Restore and recover native vegetation to increase carbon sequestration and ecosystem resilience.
- Reduce land-use change emissions while contributing to biodiversity conservation and sustainable development.
- Support climate mitigation through integrated land management, conservation, and restoration policies.
