| Abstract | Climate change has been a challenge to international diplomacy and global climate governance, requiring a collective effort between government, market and civil society, in order to seek possible alternatives to mitigation and / or adaptation to the phenomenon. To date, most of these strategies is focused on market instruments, operated under the global carbon market. Initially used by companies and individuals from non-signatory countries of the Kyoto Protocol as the United States comes the voluntary carbon market becoming an alternative to stringent regulated carbon market criteria. As the regulated carbon market, the GHG reduction projects developed in the voluntary carbon market seek to reduce GHG emissions and promote sustainable development. Thus, this thesis aims to analyze the co-benefits for sustainable development, in addition to the reduction of greenhouse gases, based on the Brazilian projects the Voluntary Carbon Market. The research methodology consists on a exploratory research, with document analysis and illustrative case studies, based on the analytical matrix constructed from studies of the United Nations Framework Conventions on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on co-benefits arising from the regulated carbon market. The results indicate that the Brazilian GHG emission reduction projects in the voluntary carbon market contribute little to sustainable development, having used most often relatively simple and conventional technologies, and rarely benefit the local communities, generating few co-benefits "to beyond the company walls. " The economic and environmental co-benefits are mentioned more frequently than social, confirming the same behavior of the clean development mechanism projects in the world. In addition, there was greater potential to contribute to those Brazilian GHG emission reduction projects developed in the voluntary carbon market which used certification standards including economic co-benefits, environmental and social in their assessment as well as had involvement of more actors in the design process and project development. Key words: Climate Change, Voluntary Carbon Market, Sustainable Development, Conebefits, Brazil. |
