O governo Jair Bolsonaro e o retrocesso na Política Externa Brasileira para o meio ambiente

Abstract

The government of Jair Bolsonaro was marked by a significant setback in Brazilian foreign policy concerning the environment. Throughout his term, there was a noticeable slowdown in commitments and practices aimed at environmental preservation. Deforestation in the Amazon reached alarming levels, reflecting a less restrictive stance toward predatory activities. Additionally, there was a distancing from international agreements and commitments related to climate change. The government's rhetoric prioritized economic development at the expense of environmental sustainability, eliciting criticism both domestically and internationally. This period marked a significant shift in Brazil's approach to the environment, raising concerns about the lasting impact of these policies on the national and international stage.
