Fundraising for the Amazon Fund is linked to the reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases from deforestation, that is, it is conditioned to the reduction of the annual deforestation rate.
Based on data of emission reductions calculated by the Ministry of the Environment and attested by the Technical Committee of the Amazon Fund (CTFA, in Portuguese), BNDES is authorized to raise donations for the Amazon Fund and to issue certificates recognizing the contribution of the donors to the Fund.
Each certificate identifies the donator and the amount of the contribution to the effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. These certificates are nominal, non-transferable and do not generate rights or credit of any nature.
See below a summary of the donation agreements of Norway´s Government, Petrobras and the Federal Republic of Germany (KfW).
Government of Norway
BNDES celebrated on March 25, 2009, a Donation Agreement with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Norway, in which a donation was provided to the Amazon Fund in the amount of up to 700 million norwegian kroner.
The Donation Agreement establishes the terms and procedures applicable to the donations from Norway related to the Amazon Fund. Subsequently, additional terms to the donation agreement were signed in which the government of Norway committed to making additional donations for 2010 and 2011.
Summary of the agreement
The amount of funding is linked to the reduction of gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and covers only support for projects to be financed by the Fund in the 2009-2015 period. Donations after 2009 will be specified in additional terms proposed by the donor and will depend on the results of the efforts to reduce the annual deforestation rate.
Disbursements by the Norwegian government are made every six months or less, at the request of BNDES, based on the Fund’s financial needs.
BNDES is responsible for analyzing, approving and contracting projects, as well as supervising, monitoring, rendering of accounts and reporting of results. In addition, the Bank must maintain the donations received separate in its accounting books.
Addenda to the Donation Agreement
First Addendum
On November 9, 2009, a first Addendum to the Donation Agreement was signed. The Norwegian government committed to making additional donations of up to 750 million norwegian kroner in 2010 and up to 750 million norwegian kroner in 2011. In addition to these amounts, the possibility of additional donations by the government of Norway was also foreseen for 2010 and 2011.
Second Addendum
On December 16, 2010, a second Addendum was signed. The Norwegian government committed to making additional donations of 100 million norwegian kroner. Thus, the total value of the donation in 2010 went up to 850 million norwegian kroner.
Third Addendum
On December 14, 2011, a third Addendum was signed. The Norwegian government committed to making additional donations of 250 million norwegian kroner. Thus, the total value of the donation in 2011 went up to 1 billion norwegian kroner. It was also defined that the deadline for the request to use the committed funds for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011 will be December 31, 2015.
Fourth Addendum
On July 12, 2012, a fourth Addendum was signed. The changes relate mainly to the clauses dealing with the Reports (Article VIII) and Audit (Article X). The new wording of these clauses provides that the financial statements of the Amazon Fund will be made available by the end of the second quarter of each year, stating the opening balances, the donations received by the Fund describing the amount of donation and relevant donors, the financial income earned by the Fund, the amount disbursed for projects and the amount retained to cover administrative costs of the Fund.
