Pecuária mais Produtiva para o Brasil: Redução das Áreas de Pastagens Pode Mostrar um Caminho
Este trabalho do CPI/PUC-Rio, descreve a relação entre produtividade pecuária e a porcentagem das fazendas utilizada como pastagem. Estimativas utilizando dados dos Censos Agropecuários das últimas quatro décadas mostram que essas variáveis são inversamente relacionadas, indicando que a pecuária se torna mais produtiva à medida que a área de pastagens cai. Exercícios empíricos adicionais apontam que o custo relativo da terra vis-à-vis o capital pode explicar essa relação. Por fim, o documento discute lições para políticas públicas que podem mostrar um caminho para aumentar a produtividade sem induzir novos desmatamentos.

Indonesia’s Village Fund
Guntur Sutiyono, Saeful Muluk, Tiza Mafira e Randy Rakhmadi03/04/2018In keeping with its goals for sustainable economic growth and an inclusive and equitable economy, Indonesia is committed to avoiding deforestation. As the drivers of deforestation often originate from activities outside of forest borders, it is not enough to solve deforestation by conducting segregated actions targeted to specific forest areas. Indonesia must also work to strengthen the rural economy and improve regional collaboration by working across various administrative jurisdictions that encompass forest governance. To ensure the success of this jurisdictional approach, improved economic power and village governance are key.

Towards Efficient Land Use in Brazil
Increasing global demand for food and the need to address climate change risk make it ever more urgent to both protect ecosystems and use land more productively and efficiently. Brazil is a key player in this context and has made significant gains in recent decades. Between 1970 and 2006, its average national cattle farm productivity doubled and its average national crop farm productivity quadrupled. More recently, the country’s conservation efforts have been successful in reducing the rate of Amazon forest clearings to its lowest level in 30 years.

Técnicas Agrícolas de Alto Rendimento: Barreiras à Adoção e Soluções Potenciais
O Plantio Direto (PD), um método de produção que minimiza o uso do arado, é um dos maiores avanços das últimas décadas em tecnologia agrícola. Fazendeiros que adotam o PD apresentam melhores resultados e menor custo quando comparados às técnicas tradicionais, e diminuem as emissões de gás carbônico na atmosfera – resultados que beneficiam tanto os próprios fazendeiros quanto o clima. A adoção do PD não demanda custos iniciais significativos, e a colheita é menos sujeita a variações. Todavia, os níveis de adoção continuam extremamente baixos cerca de quarenta anos após a introdução do sistema no Sul do país, em 1971.

The Challenge of Institutional Investment in Renewable Energy
David Nelson07/03/2013Institutional investors, which together manage assets of over $70 trillion, often have investment objectives that are aligned with the investment profile of infrastructure. At first glance, access to this large pool of capital and the alignment of objectives should help lower the costs of financing renewable energy. In this study, CPI finds that while these investors could supply a significant share of the total required investment, various factors limit the extent to which they can invest in a way that could lower the cost of financing renewable energy. Furthermore, financial regulation of institutional investors, regulation of energy markets, and renewable energy policy, often create additional obstacles to renewable energy investment.

Risk Gaps
Gianleo Frisari, Morgan Hervé-Mignucci, Valerio Micale e Federico Mazza21/01/2013Risk — whether real or perceived — is the single most important factor preventing renewable energy projects from finding financial investors, or raising the returns that these investors demand. It is also one thing that policymakers can cause, control, alleviate, or help mitigate. In a series of three studies, titled Risk Gaps, CPI maps the availability of risk instruments against demand and analyzes several new, potential instruments designed to address the biggest gaps: first-loss protection instruments and policy risk insurance.

San Giorgio Group Case Study: Ouarzazate I CSP
Ouarzazate I is a 160MW Concentrated Solar Power plant in Morocco, generously supported by a subsidy from the Government of Morocco and concessional capital from international development banks. Ouarzazate I only makes economic sense if it contributes to the development of a commercially-sustainable regional Concentrated Solar Power market. Projects like Ouarzazate I play a crucial bridging role but, in order to scale-up projects like these, costs need to fall and revenues need to grow.

Deforestation Slowdown in the Brazilian Amazon: Prices or Policies?
Brazilian deforestation rates fell from 27,000 km2 in 2004 to 7,000 km2 at the end of the decade. Results indicate that the conservation policies associated with the policy turning points were effective at curbing Amazon deforestation, helping avoid an estimated 73,000 km2 of Amazon forest clearings from 2005 through 2009. This is equivalent to approximately 2.7 billion tons of stored CO2, which our estimates value at 13.2 billion US dollars.
