Resumen

El artículo identifica los factores clave que limitan la eficacia de las políticas públicas actuales para reducir la quema y los incendios forestales en la Amazonia brasileña. Entre ellos, se destacan (i) la asignación dominante del presupuesto para la lucha contra incendios en detrimento de la prevención, (ii) la jurisdicción geográfica de la actuación federal y la capacidad insuficiente de los departamentos y municipalidades, (iii) las deficiencias institucionales y los costos de transacción relacionados con la concesión de licencias, (iv) el acceso limitado al crédito, mercado de consumo, mano de obra y asistencia técnica, restricciones que impiden la difusión de las prácticas agrícolas sustitutivas al fuego. Se recomienda que las políticas públicas sean reestructuradas para tener en cuenta la relación costo beneficio de las acciones e incluir en su diseño y ejecución las comunidades dependientes de las quemadas. También hay necesidad de avances en las políticas socioeconómicas complementarias.
