Abstract Although forest concessions have the potential to regulate the use and conservation of forest resources and protect the rights of traditional populations, international experiences have been controversial. In 2018, the Food and Agriculture Organization established 39 guidelines for tropical concession systems based on UN Agenda 2030. In this study, we compared the Brazilian experience in forest concessions with these guidelines, classifying the compliance as satisfactory, unsatisfactory or non-compliance. As means of compliance verification, we use objectively verifiable Brazilian system instruments (legal framework, contracts, and documents). The results indicated compliance with 69% of the guidelines, emphasizing transparent and inclusive governance; independent audits; social control; and a system of indicators. The weaknesses were due to an unsatisfactory intersectoral relationship and post-contract management; social inclusion; operational complexity; competition with illegal timber; and the lack of a specific credit system. It is concluded that the Brazilian experience met most of the proposed guidelines, although still with room for relevant improvements. Some are suggested herein.

巴西森林特许权制度符合热带森林国际准则

摘要 尽管森林特许权具有规范森林资源使用和保护以及保护传统人群权利的潜力，但国际经验一直存在争议。2018 年，粮食及农业组织根据联合国 2030 年议程制定了 39 项热带特许制度准则。在本研究中，我们将巴西在森林特许权方面的经验与这些准则进行了比较，将合规情况分为满意、不满意或不合规。作为合规验证的手段，我们使用可客观验证的巴西系统工具（法律框架、合同和文件）。结果表明遵守了 69% 的准则，强调透明和包容的治理；独立审计；社会控制；和指标体系。弱点是由于部门间关系和合同后管理不令人满意；社会包容；操作复杂性；与非法木材的竞争；以及缺乏特定的信用体系。得出的结论是，巴西的经验满足了大部分拟议的指导方针，尽管仍有相关改进的空间。这里建议了一些。
