271p. : il. col. ; 30cm. The Initial National Communication is proof of the importance Brazil gives to the commitments made by the country under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Despite the scientific complexity of global warming related issues, the lack of awareness of the subject, the existence of development projects with a higher priority, the lack of material available in Portuguese on the subject and mostly the lack of data in the country, Brazil devoted a considerable effort to developing this complex and pioneering document. This work is divided into three parts. The first presents an overview of national circumstances and complexities of this country of continental dimensions, as well as its development priorities. The second provides the consolidated data of the first Brazilian greenhouse gas inventory, regarding the period of 1990 to 1994. This inventory is the result of the consolidation of 15 sectoral reports referring to the following sectors: energy, industry, forestry, agriculture, and waste, and it also provides additional information from various participating institutions. Finally, the third part describes the steps envisaged or already taken in Brazil that directly or indirectly contribute to achieving the Convention's objectives.
