The Carbon Credit Market in Amazonas as an Instrument for Change in Riverside Communities

Abstract

This study analyzes the carbon credit market in the state of Amazonas as a tool for transformation in riverside communities. Focusing on the Rio Negro Sustainable Development Reserve, it explores how resources from carbon credit sales can be used to provide access to electricity, improving the quality of life for local residents. The research uses an observational approach and literature review to assess the impacts of the REDD+ program and the potential for renewable energy in communities without electricity.
