Former Environment Minister Ricardo Salles stated that he would take advantage of the media’s focus on the pandemic to “pass the herd”, that is, to approve norms aimed at dismantling Brazilian socio-environmental protection mechanisms.
Plataforma CIPÓ researcher Gabrielle Alves was interviewed in the 1st episode of the 2nd season of the podcast ‘Pimenta PraJovem é Refresco‘ where she highlighted the important synergies between the environmental agenda and the struggle for territory, health and protection of vulnerable groups, including black women and indigenous peoples of Brazil. In addition, Alves advocated for #LicenciamentoAmbientalFica, the fight against Bill No. 2159/2021, which makes environmental licensing in the country more flexible.
The podcast is produced by the young activists of Engajamundo and Compasso Coolab.
Plataforma CIPÓ is an independent, women-led policy institute focusing on climate, governance, and peacebuilding in Latin America and the Caribbean and, more generally, the Global South.
