O Projeto de Lei n. 412/2022 e o mercado brasileiro de redução de emissões: oportunidades e desafios para o setor corporativo

Abstract

This monograph aims to explore the complexities and implications of the Brazilian carbon credit market, focusing on the challenges and opportunities arising for the business sector in the context of climate change. Initially, we discuss the importance and global functioning of the carbon market, emphasizing its role in mitigating climate change and its interconnectedness with the world economy. The analysis then shifts to Bill 412/2022, legislation proposing a Monitoring Plan for Greenhouse Gas Emission Reductions in Brazil.The adopted methodological approach is hypothetical-deductive, assuming that the corporate sector will face significant challenges in adapting to this new regulatory context. The analysis focuses on the obligations and goals set by the bill, which aims to regulate the carbon market, implement independent emission audits, and establish penalties and rewards for companies. The purpose is to promote more sustainable and responsible practices.Using bibliographical and documentary techniques, this research seeks to answer the fundamental question: what are the challenges and opportunities faced by the corporate sector with the approval and implementation of Bill 412/2022? The outlined methodological structure enabled the author to conduct an in-depth analysis, identifying not only practical challenges but also strategic opportunities that arise for Brazilian companies in this new scenario. This monograph contributes to understanding the practical implications of Bill 412/2022 and provides valuable insights for the corporate sector, policymakers, and other stakeholders interested in sustainable development in the Brazilian context. Ultimately, it aims to offer a comprehensive and informed perspective on the paths the business sector can take amid an evolving regulatory environment, seeking to harmonize economic growth and environmental responsibility.
