abstract
The aim of this article is to present a propositional agenda to restart the Amazon Fund. On this matter, the practices of (dis)governance at the federal level are analyzed with regard to the commitments taken on by Brazil in international cooperation agreements. The analysis shows that complying with principles related to sustainability and the environment in international commercial negotiations, and bilateral and multilateral cooperation are a fundamental condition to restart the Amazon Fund. The business sector, and specifically the financial sector, demands results regarding the increasing predatory deforestation of the Amazon region. These conditions and expectations require a drastic revision of the activities of the Ministry of Environment. The Brazilian State has already shown the world its ability to combat illegal deforestation with intelligence, cooperation between ministries and other stakeholders, ensuring clear command and control responsibility for its environmental policy.
