Assessing potential implications of the EU’s carbon dioxide removal strategy on Brazil’s land ecosystems and local communities
August 2025Here we recommend a set of integrated and participatory policy approaches that prioritise procedural justice, ensure transparent international cooperation, and mitigate the unintended impacts of global CDR strategies on vulnerable ecosystems and communities.

Integrated modeling of nature’s role in human well-being: A research agenda
September 2024We identify five research frontiers for integrated social-economic-ecological modeling (primarily focused on terrestrial systems) to incorporate biodiversity and ecosystem services: 1) downscaling impacts of direct and indirect drivers on ecosystems; 2) incorporating feedbacks in ecosystems; 3) linking ecological impacts to human well-being, 4) disaggregating outcomes for distributional equity considerations, and 5) incorporating dynamic feedbacks of ecosystem services on the social-economic system.

Using policy scenarios to assess challenges and opportunities for reaching restoration targets in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest
June 2024In this study we simulate the impacts of alternative restoration policies addressing targets for Brazil, and explore their impacts on selected terrestrial species and agricultural development potential in the Atlantic Forest biome.

Considering the Cross-Boundary Environmental and Social Implications of the EU’s Carbon Dioxide Removal Strategy in Brazil
January 2024This book is a core output from the Horizon Europe project SSH CENTRE: Social Sciences and Humanities for Climate, Energy and Trans- port Research Excellence that includes findings from novel interdisciplinary collaborations which were catalysed and funded by the project.

Current policies are insufficient to protect or restore Brazil’s cost-effective conservation priority zones
May 2023In Brazil, conservation priority zones, in spite of their key role in preserving natural vegetation and its environmental resources are frequently located outside the country's public network of protected areas (PAs). Here we present the first study on land-use impacts inside Brazil's unprotected (i.e. outside PAs) Cost-Effective conservation priority Zones (CEZs), for the period 2020–2050.

Impact of land tenure on deforestation control and forest restoration in Brazilian Amazonia
May 2023This study examines how land tenure constrains Brazil's ability to meet its deforestation control and forest restoration goals in its Amazonia biome. Our findings are based on an updated assessment of land tenure and land use in the region

Nature-based solutions are critical for putting Brazil on track towards net-zero emissions by 2050
May 2023Most of the world's nations (around 130) have committed to reaching net-zero carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, yet robust policies rarely under- pin these ambitions. To investigate whether existing and expected national policies will allow Brazil to meet its net-zero GHG emissions pledge by 2050, we applied a de- tailed regional integrated assessment modelling approach.

A decentralized approach to model national and global food and land use systems
March 2023We have built a flexible, collaborative modeling framework to foster the development of national pathways by local research teams and their integration up to global scale. Local researchers independently customize national models to explore mid-century pathways of the food and land use system transformation in collaboration with stakeholders.

Nature-based solutions are key for meeting Brazil’s climate goals and supporting the economy
November 2022There is a large mismatch between current climate ambition and climate policy implementation in Brazil, driven by a failure to curb the conversion of carbon rich biodiverse native ecosystems (the single largest source of emissions in the country) mainly for agriculture. N

How can diverse national food and land-use priorities be reconciled with global sustainability targets? Lessons from the FABLE initiative
October 2022Here, we present a collaborative approach developed with the FABLE—Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Land, and Energy—Consortium to reconcile both global and national elements for developing national food and land-use system pathways.

Conserving the Cerrado and Amazon biomes of Brazil protects the soy economy from damaging warming
May 2021In tropical regions, widespread loss of native forest and savanna vegetation is increasing extreme heat, particularly in agricultural regions. Using the case of rising extreme heat from lost forest and savanna vegetation in Brazilian Amazon and Cerrado regions, we modeled losses to soy production, the region’s principal economic activity.
