Misiones enters the global carbon credit market

For Rovira, “Missions is facing a global opportunity”, because China assumed commitments that impact the global balance.

Along these lines, he registered the two agreements that Misiones signed with the carbon credit traders. “It is a market like that of any commodity, with the environment as a tradable asset. Today the environment is an exchangeable asset of high value, because it is scarce ”, reviewed the author of the Environmental Accounting Law, which five years ago proposed to give a value to water, as a missionary natural resource.

The former president did not risk a figure of the economic impact that entering that market will mean for Misiones, because “you have to visualize the evolution.” But to have dimension, the International Monetary Fund today it is trading at a ton of carbon at $ 50. Each hectare of forest retains at least three tons per year.

Economic compensation

Rovira defended the claim to the Nation of an economic compensation and the creation as well as the creation of the Special Customs Zone, in which the discussion of the Budget will be insisted: “Misiones is a jaguar negotiating, hungry. We assert rights like no one else. Misiones obtained the sanction of a law that is unchangeable. The rest is a faculty of the President. But the law is voted. It can only be superseded by another law. Here there is a high political hierarchy that discusses what the people want. That is why we went with a short ballot, because it is the one that carries the missionaries’ agenda, while the oppositions respond to the verticality of Buenos Aires ”, he questioned.

“Misiones is the most important plant in the country and one of the most important in America, for oxygen and carbon dioxide. We sell carbon credit against emission. This is how this new market works and this requires maximum rigor with marketers who are like banks. Those of Misiones are homologated in Europe and Asia, which guarantees traceability and placement of environmental assets ”, he explained.

“We must make the rest value what we make available to the world. This is a contribution that goes beyond the jungle. The Iguazu Falls, the Moconá Falls, ruins. Three great rivers of America pass through our territory and there are laws to protect these rivers “, he remarked. “It is a blue gold that we have in abundance and with the obligation to take care of it for the next generations; he claimed

In addition to the pro-government deputies, the Ministers of Finance, Adolfo Safrán, of Ecology, Mario Vialey and of Climate Change, Patricio Lombardi, the main ones involved in the environmental issue and the value of the forest, were in the hall of the Two Constitutions.
