The carbon credit market is a global mechanism to help nations meet pollutant reduction targets. This research analyzes the impact of this market on riverside communities in the Rio Negro Sustainable Development Reserve, Amazonas, where electricity has not yet arrived. The study highlights REDD+ projects as an alternative to improving residents' quality of life and proposes using resources from carbon credit sales to implement renewable energy. The analysis is based on data collected from local communities and the environmental policy of the state of Amazonas.
