CHAGAS, Marco  and  VASCONCELOS, Elizeu. Environmental licensing and sustainable development: possible integrations for specific territories in Brazilian Amazon. GOT [online]. 2019, n.17, pp.05-28. ISSN 2182-1267.  https://doi.org/10.17127/got/2019.17.001.

In Brazil, environmental licensing of high complexity is a tool of environmental policy able to contribute to the development of certain territories subject to significant impacts of economic enterprises. That hypothesis, however, does not stand without the strengthening of the programmatic bond between the licensing itself, the zoning and the strategic environmental evaluation. This article discusses the complementarity of these tools and the way they apply to specific territories, in which there are protected areas and inceptive economic activities that might bring about significant impacts, as in the case of Amapá, a state of the northern Brazilian Amazon.

Keywords : Brazilian Amazon; Amapá; environmental policy; environmental licensing; zoning; environmental evaluation; development.
