System of Incentives to Environmental Services
SISA

The System of Incentives to Environmental Services (SISA) is the result of a government policy that believes in the value of standing forest. Created by State Law nº 2.308 / 2010, it brings together a set of strategies and instruments that benefit those communities engaged in production with a focus on sustainability and conservation of the environment.

REDD for Pioneers (REM)

It is a bilateral program of international cooperation of the German government (through the KfW Bank) with the Government of Acre, and consolidates the first REDD transaction of a jurisdictional program in the world. It was implemented in 2013 with a financial support of 25 million Euros

REM promotes the conservation of forests and the reduction of CO2 emissions, providing support to actors who have taken risks and have taken pioneering REDD initiatives. It is being implemented in Acre through the ISA Carbono Program, supported by the SISA law.

The program does not generate offsets and does not foresee the transfer of carbon credits, while allowing the use of reduced emissions towards the goals set by the national government.

Acre is currently preparing to implement REM II.

The distribution of benefits of the REM Program, via the State Forestry Fund (Law 1,426), also contributes to the conservation of the forest carbon stock and the reduction of carbon emissions.

The beneficiaries are 45% in the protected areas of the State of Acre, such as Indigenous Lands or Extractive Reserves, State Forests and 55% in open areas used for the development of sustainable productive chains.

The initial goals of the REM program, established at the beginning of the program's implementation in 2013, have already been achieved by more than 100%.
