Sustainable development in the Brazilian Amazon: Analysis of the Green Municipalities Program on deforestation levels in the state of Pará
This study investigates the impact of the Green Municipalities Program (PMV) on deforestation reduction in the state of Pará, Brazil, using bidirectional fixed-effects panel models (TWFE). The analysis evaluates whether participating municipalities achieved significant reductions in deforested areas compared to non-participating municipalities. Results from the specifications show consistently negative and statistically significant coefficients. Municipalities participating in the PMV reduce deforested area by 3.3 %, on average, relative to non-participants, corresponding to 44.8 km2 less deforestation per participating municipality. Furthermore, the allocation of financial resources starting in 2014 significantly enhanced the program's effectiveness, with sustained impacts on deforestation reduction. Prolonged participation in the PMV also amplified its efficacy: municipalities engaged in the program for longer durations exhibited stronger deforestation mitigation outcomes. These findings underscore that financial resource availability and sustained program engagement—alongside monitoring and enforcement—are critical to the PMV's success in curbing deforestation.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Development provides a future oriented, pro-active, authoritative source of information and learning for researchers, postgraduate students, policymakers, and managers, and bridges the gap between fundamental research and the application in management and policy practices. It stimulates the exchange and coupling of traditional scientific knowledge on the environment, with the experiential knowledge among decision makers and other stakeholders and also connects natural sciences and social and behavioral sciences. Environmental Development includes and promotes scientific work from the non-western world, and also strengthens the collaboration between the developed and developing world. Further it links environmental research to broader issues of economic and social-cultural developments, and is intended to shorten the delays between research and publication, while ensuring thorough peer review. Environmental Development also creates a forum for transnational communication, discussion and global action.
Environmental Development is open to a broad range of disciplines and authors. The journal welcomes, in particular, contributions from a younger generation of researchers, and papers expanding the frontiers of environmental sciences, pointing at new directions and innovative answers.
All submissions to Environmental Development are reviewed using the general criteria of quality, originality, precision, importance of topic and insights, clarity of exposition, which are in keeping with the journal''s aims and scope.
