dc.description.abstractDeforestation poses a huge problem in global efforts to reduce carbon emissions, which are necessary for climate change mitigation. The Brazilian Amazon alone is responsible for about half of this deforestation and thus requires effective policies and mechanisms to preserve its rainforest. The concept of Reducing Emissions through Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) provides such a mechanism, which contributes to reducing deforestation by valuing the ecosystem services of forests like the Amazon. Countries across the globe tend to implement REDD rather differently, among which Brazil stands out through the application of a voluntary fund as financing mechanism. This not only suggests that REDD is susceptible to interpretation, but also indicates that the materialization or institutionalization depends on domestic factors. This research therefore argues for an institutional approach to REDD in Brazil.en_US
