📋 Tender Overview
The National Environment Council (CONAMA) unanimously approved last Wednesday (3/9), during the 147th Ordinary Meeting of the Plenary, held in Brasilia, resolution that establishes minimum criteria and conditions for the issuance of Vegetation Suppression Authorization (ASV) in rural properties. The measure seeks to standardize, at the national level, the criteria for issuing the instrument, besides promoting the transparency and integration of environmental data.
In the evaluation of CONAMA counselors, the initiative expands the transparency of information, reduces the possibility of illegal practices and reinforces security for both the productive sector and public monitoring policies. The measure also contributes to the reach of the zero deforestation target by 2030.
The collective construction, held within Conama, with different segments of society to reinforce environmental governance, climate action and biodiversity protection was highlighted by Environment Minister and climate change, Marina Silva. In a non -democratic environment, we would lose all this ability to contribute such contributions to public management and the strengthening of the National Environmental System.
With the new rule, the authorizations are now issued by the National System of Control of the Origin of Forest Products (Sinaflor) or by Platform Integrated Programs, which is managed by the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (Ibama). States and municipalities should make this information available in a standard and accessible manner. The standard does not apply to forest exploration authorizations and will enter into force 180 days after publication.
Another deliberate point recommends that the organs that make up Sisnama expand the dissemination and incorporate, in their activities, the National Climate Change Plan (Climate Plan).
The agenda included the approval of three support motions. One of them argues that the National Congress keep President Lulas vetoes to the General Law of Environmental Licensing. The text points out that the vetoes ensure essential safeguards, such as the requirement of the Environmental Impact Study (EIA) and the Environmental Impact Report (RIMA), the protection of traditional communities and all biomes, and warns of the environmental and social risks of their overthrow
Support to the end of fin export and the unsustainable capture of sharks in Brazilian waters was also highlighted. The text stresses that shark hunt is a significant threat to marine biodiversity and the balance of ecosystems. The third supports Bill 3,093/2021, which prohibits the export of living animals to slaughter abroad. The proposal is authored by the Commission on Human Rights and Participatory Legislation and is being processed in the Federal Senate. .
Still at the meeting, the sketch of Conamas electronic voting platform was presented. The system, developed by MMA, allows the presence of presence and the voting and calculation process in real time.
Another highlight of the meeting was the presentation of the research results how to make the transport sector an active contributor to the reduction of Brazilian emissions, carried out by the coalition for the decarbonization of transport.
