The fourth season focuses on the relationship between environment and development.
Brazil is a key country in the production and export of food, in the conservation of biodiversity and in the fight against climate change. The country’s future depends on its ability to provide solutions to these challenges, for ourselves and for the planet. It’s not enough to stop deforestation in the Amazon. We need to move further and faster towards a development model that allows the country to be part of the world, with greater respect for the environment.
Are we ready?
Five experts share their ideas on possible ways for Brazil to lead the global transition towards socially just and environmentally friendly development.
The video series has optional subtitles in Portuguese, English and Spanish that can be activated in the settings.
