2021 REPORT ON BRAZIL'S PROGRESS ON EPR RECOMMENDATIONS AND ALIGNMENT TO OECD ENVIRONMENTAL ACQUIS
This report examines Brazil’s alignment with 23 selected OECD legal instruments related to the environment. The legal instruments were primarily selected for their link to the recommendations of the 2015 OECD Environmental Performance Review (EPR) of Brazil. The report also looks at Brazil’s progress in implementing 13 out of the 53 EPR recommendations that are relevant to the OECD acquis. The substantive areas covered are the polluter-pays principle, environmental assessment, integrated pollution prevention and control, environmental performance of government, use of economic instruments and provision of environmental information, as well as water management, biodiversity conservation, energy and air pollution, transport and waste.
The main objective of the report’s analysis and recommendations is to help Brazil improve its policies and practices in line with OECD standards. The report provides a brief overview of the legal instruments and the context and content of the relevant 2015 EPR recommendations. This overview is followed by a description of the relevant legal and policy framework in Brazil, recent changes to it, the state of their implementation and, where possible, evidence of their effectiveness.
The report was made possible by financial support of the government of the United Kingdom.
