Brazil low-carbon country case study / Christophe De Gouvello. Washington DC : World Bank, May 2010,  286 p. (report ; 63029)http://go.worldbank.org/IU54I2MV50This study was undertaken by the World Bank in its initiative to support  Brazil's integrated effort towards reducing national and global  emissions of greenhouse gases while promoting long term development.
