This document discusses Brazil's national communications on climate change and lessons they provide for Latin America. It references Brazil's REDD+ strategy and policies aimed at reducing deforestation in the Amazon, including regulations establishing deforestation limits. It also discusses Brazil's use of hydroelectric dams for carbon credits through the Clean Development Mechanism and debates around the impacts of dams on greenhouse gas emissions.
