NEW POLICYMIX ARTICLE: Constraining Forest Certificate’s Market to Improve Cost-Effectiveness of Biodiversity Conservation in São Paulo State, Brazil

This announcement presents a study of Brazil’s forest certificate offset market. The researchers modelled conservation costs under different market restrictions in São Paulo and compared the results with existing landowner compliance requirements. The findings suggest that spatially targeted certificate trading can improve conservation outcomes while remaining less costly than compliance on each property.

Based on the public abstract; concise archival summary.
