The Kyoto Protocol established goals for reductions in greenhouse gas concentrations by creating a incentives for developing countries, and a mechanism of limitations for developed countries, to cut their greenhouse gas emission levels. By the end of 2005, Brazil is starting to merge its recent economic progress.
However, among the challenges brought by economic advancement is the creation and direction of a services infrastructure that is basic. Solid waste management has been raised to the top grade of the administration priorities of Brazilian President Lula de Silva. Economic affluence, population growth, broadening consumption, and urbanization have continued to push up the speed of solid waste creation. The problem is compounded by the fact that present waste processing ability is under serious strain in the enormous metropolis that was Brazilian, and is virtually crumbling in large portions of the country.
In addition, current practices, particularly the losing of residues in open dumps, have caused the release of substantial quantities of methane, a greenhouse gas (GHG), in the atmosphere. Private Public Partnerships will allow technology and private sector capital to help the authorities expand infrastructure services to the population.
