Therefore, its reduction is basically the main international agenda. The objectives of environmental policy seem to prevail conflicting, between the global, which aims to stabilize emissions with sequestration of forest carbon and local poverty reduction. REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) is considered cheap proposal for mitigation and adaptation to climate changes. Thus, Mozambique is preparing for accessing to forest carbon financing. The study analyzed interaction of policies and measures in the national and local strategy of REDD+ in Mozambique and resorted three methodological procedures, review of previous study, interviews and seminars, in a non-probabilistic sampling. Conflicting visions among nations hinder consensus on reducing emissions and REDD+ aims to replace the KP (Kyoto Protocol). National strategy of REDD+ should suggest measures and policies to reduce deforestation in key sectors contributing to emissions. Interviewees suggested technological approach (30%), agrarian reform (26%), institutional reform (21%) and decentralization (20%). Therefore, 77.3% supported technological use to increase production and productivity and for the forest sector, 86.4% supported forest concessions. They also highlighted conservation agriculture, SAFs (Agroforestry Systems), energy accessibility and mining licensing. However, REDD+ is being projected from the global to the local, but the debate must extrapolate negotiations restricted to government participation, as well as policy options and incentives to generate co-benefits that address local community priorities.展开更多
