TOTAL DONATIONS RECEIVED BY THE AMAZON FUND

The Amazon Fund’s resource mobilization is based on verified reductions in greenhouse gas emissions resulting from deforestation. In other words, reductions in deforestation in the Amazon biome must be demonstrated in order to enable the mobilization of new donations. 
 
Based on these emission reductions, calculated by the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MMA) and validated by the Amazon Fund Technical Committee (CTFA), BNDES is authorized to receive donations and issue certificates recognizing the contributions of donors.
 
Each certificate identifies the donor and the share of its contribution to the effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. These certificates are nominative, non-transferable and do not grant any rights or credits of any nature.
 
The resources are allocated to actions aimed at preventing, monitoring and combating deforestation, as well as promoting the conservation and sustainable use of forests in the Legal Amazon, with the possibility of supporting initiatives in other biomes, in accordance with the Amazon Fund's rules, conditions, guidelines and criteria.
 
BNDES is responsible for the analysis, approval and contracting of projects, as well as for their monitoring, oversight and accountability processes.

CONTRACTS BY DONOR
 
Noruega
  Norwegian Government

 

BNDES signed the first Donation Agreement with the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on March 25, 2009, establishing a commitment to contribute up to NOK 700 million to the Amazon Fund. Five subsequent amendments increased the value of this commitment.

On September 17, 2013, BNDES and the Government of Norway signed a new agreement aimed at consolidating the previous donation agreement and its amendments related to the Amazon Fund, while extending the cooperation through December 2021.

The agreement initially established the end of 2020 as the deadline for the use of donated resources in Amazon Fund projects. Another important change was the full transfer of the contracted funds, made possible by the exemption from the PIS/Pasep and COFINS taxes on donations (Law No. 12,810 of May 15, 2013, which amended Law No. 11,828/2008).

To date, eight amendments have been executed under the 2013 agreement, extending its current term through 2035. The total amount donated so far is NOK 9,424,027,220.49 (BRL 3,804,376,093.74).
