Abstract

The Anthropocene poses profound challenges to the conservation of the Amazon rainforest, a global carbon reservoir. The forest’s unsustainable model of development, based on severe land use changes, and the effects of anthropogenic climate change may result in irreversible damage. In addition, crossing tipping points for the survival of the Amazon rainforest may trigger catastrophic climate change (CCC), which reflects the urgent need for a new development paradigm for the region. However, the prospects of the dieback of the Amazon as well as of a CCC scenario are generally overlooked in the academic and political debates. This chapter aims to fill this gap by exploring the link between irreversible environmental changes in the forest and potential CCC and by analyzing the challenge of sustainable development in the Brazilian Amazon, demonstrating how close a climate catastrophe might be; it then presents a novel development paradigm for the region. The revolutionary technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution are proposed as central to this necessary paradigm shift. Because the Amazon rainforest is a global natural asset for avoiding CCC, Brazil is also advised to follow a diplomatic plan that upholds fundamental ecological principles for creating a safe space for humanity, thus attracting international investments to manage and preserve the forest.

El Niño events usually magnify global warming; the hottest years on record correspond to the occurrence of these events. The first half of 2016 experienced a strong El Niño and was the warmest year ever recorded (NOAA 2017).

The others are the melting of Greenland’s ice shelf, Arctic sea-ice loss, permafrost and tundra loss, boreal forest dieback, Indian monsoon chaotic multistability, Atlantic deep water formation, Sahara greening, a West African monsoon shift, a climate change-induced ozone hole, a change in the El Niño–Southern Oscillation amplitude of frequency, changes in Antarctic bottom water formations, and the instability of the West Antarctic ice shelf (Abe et al. 2017).

Natural scientists widely recognize the gravity of the climate risk; however, CCC has been off of most social sciences’ radar thus far.

Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries. On REDD+ see, for example, Gupta (2012), Pistorius (2012), and Turnhout et al. (2017).

The Clean Development Mechanism “allows a country with an emission-reduction or emission-limitation commitment under the Kyoto Protocol (Annex B Party) to implement an emission-reduction project in developing countries. Such projects can earn saleable certified emission reduction (CER) credits, each equivalent to one tonne of CO2, which can be counted towards meeting Kyoto targets”—UNFCCC, available at http://unfccc.int/kyoto_protocol/mechanisms/clean_development_mechanism/items/2718.php, accessed 15 May 2017.

Interview with Professor Roberto Schaeffer (from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro), 16 April 2017.

It is worth noting, however, that technological development per se is an insufficient condition for protecting nature. Considering the severity of the global ecological crisis and the urgency of concrete answers, technology is a key part of solving the problem. Nevertheless, a paradigm shift in the way in which humanity relates to nature is absolutely essential; otherwise, instead of challenging the current development paradigm, the revolutionary technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution may convert into vehicles for reinforcing the prevailing consumption patterns and lifestyles. Discussing the new ethical and societal approach needed to protect the Amazon is beyond the scope of this chapter, whose focus relies only on the technological conditions for preserving the forest. On the ethical and societal conditions for conserving nature, see, for instance, Burke et al. (2016), Pereira (2017a, b), Pereira and Freitas (2017), and New Earth Politics: Essays from the Anthropocene, edited by Nicholson and Jinnah (2016).
