The PPCerrado aims to reduce deforestation in the Cerrado. The first phase of the programme (2010-2011) had an environmental education component which was dropped in the second phase of the programme (2014-2015). The second phase maintained the following three pillars: 1. Territorial regularization 2. Monitoring and control 3. Incentives for sustainable production. The third phase (2016-2020) maintains these pillars and strengthens norms and policy instruments (fiscal and financial incentives) to support deforestation-reduction efforts. The newest fourth phase (2023-2027) adopts a zero-deforestation goal for the Cerrados for 2030.
