CIKEL Brazilian Amazon REDD+ APD
O projeto CIKEL Brazilian Amazon REDD+ APD se destina à conservação florestal no Complexo Rio Capim (RCC), no município de Paragominas, estado do Pará (PA), com foco na interrupção do desmatamento planejado e na regulamentação do manejo florestal — ainda que limitado. Essas medidas são implementadas através do controle das práticas de Exploração Florestal de Baixo Impacto (“Low Impact Logging”), certificadas pelo Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®). Nos últimos cinco anos, o controle do desflorestamento já reduziu as emissões de gases de efeito estufa em mais de 7 milhões de tCO2e, disponibilizando créditos de carbono certificados para a compensação de emissões por empresas que não tenham atingido suas metas. Adicionalmente, as entidades responsáveis pelo projeto vêm aprimorando e ampliando suas iniciativas para fomentar o desenvolvimento social sustentável, bem como garantir a preservação e o incremento da biodiversidade no RCC.

What are the project SDGs
The project CIKEL Brazilian Amazon REDD+ APD includes 5 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, which are:
NO POVERTY
Ending poverty in all its forms everywhere. This goal aims to eradicate extreme poverty, promote social and economic inclusion of all individuals, and ensure that everyone has access to basic services such as health, education, and social security. It recognizes that poverty is multidimensional and requires a holistic approach to overcome, addressing not only the lack of income but also the lack of access to essential resources and opportunities.
CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION
Ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. This goal aims to guarantee universal access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation for all people by 2030. It recognizes the crucial importance of water and sanitation for health, sustainable development, and poverty eradication. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to improve water quality, promote efficient use of water resources, protect water-related ecosystems, and develop adequate sanitation infrastructure. This includes access to proper and safe sanitation facilities, as well as the promotion of appropriate hygiene practices.
DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all. This goal aims to ensure that economic growth is sustainable and inclusive, creating decent jobs and work opportunities for all people. It seeks to achieve full and productive employment and decent work, as well as promote equal opportunities in the labor market, reduce informality, and combat all forms of child labor and forced labor. SDG 8 also encourages the development of policies that support entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic growth in sustainable sectors.
CLIMATE ACTION
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. This goal aims to address the challenges posed by climate change, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, adapting to adverse impacts already occurring, and promoting climate resilience. Achieving this goal requires actions at various levels, from local to international, aiming at mitigating emissions, developing adaptation strategies, implementing environmental policies, and mobilizing resources to finance measures to combat climate change. SDG 13 recognizes the urgency of acting to avoid the worst effects of climate change and to protect the environment for future generations.
LIFE ON LAND
Protect, restore, and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, and halt biodiversity loss. This goal aims to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, including forests, wetlands, mountains, and drylands, as well as the protection of biodiversity and natural habitats. It seeks to promote sustainable land management practices, restoration of degraded ecosystems, biodiversity conservation, combating desertification and land degradation, and preventing species extinction. SDG 15 recognizes the fundamental role of terrestrial ecosystems in the health of the planet, in mitigating climate change, and in human well-being.
