By Raymond Colitt BRASILIA, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Brazil announced on Friday a voluntary target to cut at least 36 percent from its greenhouse gas emissions projected for 2020. Following are views from climate experts and analysts. RUBENS BORN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP VITAE CIVILIS "It's a number that shows Brazil's willingess. It's very positive, it's important for Brazilian society for the world to know." "Is it enough? No. There shouldn't be any deforestation at all. There needs to be more investment in alternative energies. There is much more that Brazil could be doing." ARON BELINKY, EXECUTIVE COORDINATOR OF TCKTCKTCK:TIME FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE CAMPAIGN IN BRAZIL: "There is no target for industry, which has been fighting hard against one." "It's reasonable, doable. It won't be easy but Brazil has already made progress in cutting deforestation, which accounts for much of its emissions." JOAO TALOCCHI, CLIMATE CAMPAIGN COORDINATOR WITH GREENPEACE BRASIL "It's very positive. Finally Brazil is adopting a target. Two years ago it was a crime to talk about an emissions target in Brazil." "Now, it needs to become a legal obligation, not only a voluntary target." "It can have a big influence on other countries. The United States called on Brazil to do more and it did, now Washington is in the spot light. It needs to go to the negotiating table in Copenhagen with an agressive proposal." PAULO MOUTINHO, RESEARCHER WITH THE AMAZON INSTITUTE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES, IPAM: "With this Brazil destroys the main argument of the rich countries -- that developing countries don't want to adopt targets." "I hope the developed countries are embarassed by Brazil's position and adopt more effective targets." "Even though its voluntary, once you have a target, one can start holding (Brazil) accountable." "What we need to do is ensure these reductions continue. The global crisis will end and these reductions need to be maintained." (Additional reporting by Eduardo Simoes in Sao Paulo)
