Why is it important?
The path of climate commitment in Brazil is far from being stable. Emissions from deforestation in the Amazon continued to increase visibly in 2016 and in early 2017, as the support for forest protection actions further declined, continuing the Amazon Neglect inaugurated during the Rousseff administration. This chapter discusses the perspectives of climate commitment in Brazil, both until late 2018-the scheduled end of the Temer administration-and, further in time, depending on the establishment of a reformist government between 2019 and 2022 or the consolidation of the conservative BAU (business-as-usual) scenario in the same period.
Perspectives
If if the anti-corruption process becomes the main driver of the reorganization of the political system, based on new standards of transparency and the strengthening of the rule of law, Brazilian democracy will significantly improve.
