Abstract

This short review presents studies published in high impact journals regarding regulation mechanisms over emissions, monitoring, sequestration (capture) and carbon credits, mainly focusing on the forest sector. The search for studies was performed using the ScienceDirect and Scopus databases. A gap was identified regarding studies that present actions with the private sector, equipment and processes and urban mobilities, in contrast, several studies were found that present significant contribution on gas emissions and climate change (carbon footprint) and mathematical models on the carbon market, especially in developed countries.

Keywords: Carbon market; Greenhouse gas emissions; Environment; Climate Change; Forest Policy.
