Recommendations sent by the Brazilian Coalition on Climate and Forests in the formal consultation of each of the measures show the fundamental importance of decarbonizing agriculture and cattle raising The Brazilian Coalition on Climate and Forests sent, for one more year, its considerations for the 2023-2024 Safra Plan, which is the main instrument of Brazilian agricultural policy and is responsible for a central role in the sustainable development. Consequently, the Coalition defends its total alignment with Brazilian climate goals, linking its portfolio to practices of low carbon emissions, such as the Program for the Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Agriculture (ABC Program).

Lack of transparency in livestock makes it difficult to combat deforestation

Meat packing companies and traders display no guarantees that they buy and sell meat that does not involve illegal deforestation. Banks and financial institutions similarly fail At the end of 2022, Radar Verde released its first results: only 5% of the invited companies, meat packing companies and retailers participated in the initial edition, and none accepted the disclosure of their final classification. As a result, it can be understood that the companies from the livestock sector still cannot prove the disassociation of the meat they buy and sell from the deforestation in the Amazon - at any stage of the production. However, the lack of transparency is not only a privilege of this private group. Banks and financial institutions also have a long way to go if they want to better control the financing and investments in the sector. Luciane Moessa, the executive director of the Sustainable Inclusive Solutions Association [...]

Religious intolerance and low female participation in politics: national historical traits

Re(o)cupa launches a second podcast episode with debates about religious conflicts in Maranhão, which are configured as racism, and an article about the still low female representativeness in positions of power Re(o)cupa, an iCS grantee, presents a second episode of the MAROCAST podcast. Jorge Serejo, a professor and human rights lawyer, provides an overview of the religious conflicts in Maranhão, and how intolerance has a direct impact on collective life. “It is necessary to understand that what is called religious intolerance, specifically in Brazil, is configured in racism. Ethnic and racial discrimination is not a hiccup, it is a project,” explains Serejo. On its website (Rumbura Marocar), Re(o)cupa also published an important text about female representativeness in Brazilian politics. Although there have been some advances, says the article, women, even though the majority of the population, are the least represented politically. In Latin America, Brazil is the country with the [...]

The budget for the prevention of natural disasters is the lowest in 14 years

In an article in UOL, Diosmar Filho, the leader of the Iyaleta Research Association, questions the lack of investment for the prevention of rains such as those that recently affected the northern coast of São Paulo “For this year, the forecast of the federal budget for risk and disaster management is R$ 1.17 billion, according to a survey by the Associação Contas Abertas. Despite this amount seeming high, it is the lowest value in the last 14 years.” This is a quote from the article written in UOL by Diosmar Filho, a geographer, and a doctoral student in geography at the Fluminense Federal University (UFF). He is a scientific coordinator of the Iyaleta Research Association, the leader of the line of research “Inequalities and Climate Change,” also published by the Urban Legal Amazon platform.

COP of the Baixadas

An event organized by collectives from Belém, in Pará, took place over three days to discuss the climate crisis and to bring the Amazon peripheries closer to the decision-making on the subject The Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (COP), governed by the UNFCCC, takes place annually and brings together the main leaders and global negotiators to discuss the efforts and confrontations involving climate change. In recent years, the theme of climate justice, i.e., the ascertainment that the effects of global warming fall differently depending on race, gender and social condition, has gained strength – although it is still far from having the necessary representation. To give voice and prominence to those entitled to it, groups, communities and collectives from Belém (PA) created the COP of the Baixadas, which took place between February 9-11. The program highlighted the actions by actors and community-based organizations from the Amazon peripheries in [...]

Rio, Negro provides centrality to this debate, articulating the racist ideology, the transfer [...]
