Abstract

Environmental problems are avolumaram over the centuries, precisely according to the failure of the market system to efficiently allocate natural resources. Thus, the reversal of these problems requires decisive intervention of the state. The regulatory role of the state is strategic for encouraging the emergence of the compromise between multiple interests of the company, investors, companies, among others. A key related to the choice of public policies environmental concerns available to the company in internalise the environmental cost, necessity that derives from the impact of environmental policies on prices and costs. The main forms of public intervention in the environmental area are characterized by various measures such as: the use of economic instruments (taxation, subsidies, markets for rights of use); rules and regulations; surveillance, among others. It is also characterized by means of sectoral policies adopted, and some that are considered of greater importance. The processes of change in the use and coverage of the earth came in discussions of global environment a few decades, from the concept that processes that occur on the surface of the planet affect the climate. From studies that showed the relationship between the change of albedo due terrestrial changes on the surface that influenced the exchange of energy between the surface-atmosphere at the local level, studies pointing terrestrial ecosystems as a source of carbon storage and can influence the global climate and studies related to the contribution of evapotranspiration in the water cycle as another major factor, both in scale impact on local regional, came to light, and still are targets of many jobs.
