Socio-environmental Justice
Brazil possesses the world's largest tropical rainforest and greatest biodiversity. However, this immense wealth is threatened by forest and other ecosystem destruction due to large-scale projects, the expansion of soybean and sugarcane monocultures, and the advance of cattle ranching.
A key issue for the future of humanity is the effects of climate change. On the international stage, Brazil is a significant player in the construction of a new global agreement to mitigate the effects of this phenomenon. Conversely, the country ranks among the world's largest polluters when it comes to emissions resulting from fires and deforestation. Discussing and supporting initiatives that can alter this scenario is one of our primary tasks.
The issue of energy is also central to the debate on sustainable development and climate change. Renewable energies, such as wind and solar, have the potential to replace traditional sources that cause significant environmental impacts (hydroelectric) and substantial CO2 emissions (coal). At the same time, despite being costly and dangerous, nuclear energy emerges as a false solution.
