Abstract “Towards a just climate change resilience: Developing resilient, anticipatory and inclusive community response” fills an important gap in literature about climate justice and community responses by focusing its lenses in the global south. Designedly, the chapters cover the issue in all the continents where territories and their populations are located in the global south: Brazil and Uruguay (South America), Bangladesh (Asia), Mozambique (Africa) and Solomon Islands (Oceania). The biggest lesson learned from the cases is that strengthening the role of communities and multi-stakeholder coalitions is essential to reduce the injustices and inequalities inherent in anthropogenic climate change, in the face of deforestation, water contamination, declining catches, political instabilities and other economic impacts.

Abstract A commitment to democracy and popular participation in the national development has been a central principle in all Mozambican Constitutions and a consistent directive in government policies and laws. To test the extent to which this principle has been materialized in the land sector, this paper provides a general overview of Mozambique’s recent history and the role reserved for land in the formation of the state and in materialization of democratic governance. The paper concludes that more than any other factor, political party interference in public affairs has shaped the identity and performance of the Mozambican state, setting the stage for a complex interaction between the government, local people and private investors that has jeopardized the great potential of the national land policy and law to promote effective and sustainable participatory development processes.

Abstract Understanding how variables that integrate sustainability indexes behave is essential due to the limitation of natural resources under a growing demand. Based on case study and exploratory research techniques, this paper aimed to analyze the levels of collected and treated wastewater in the PCJ Basins Water Resources Plan for the 2020-35 period. We sought to validate the indicators based on Gibson’s sustainability principles, relating them to the 6.2 and 6.3 targets of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6. It was concluded that the indicators are important to evaluate processes to achieve SDG 6. However, the indicators have flaws and can mask important information, preventing more assertive decision making. The target to achieve the 2035 reference scenario was found to be valid for four of Gibson’s sustainability principles.

Brazil is one of the most biodiverse countries of the world (UNEP, 2019), but is going through a serious environmental imbalance, motivated by the current institutional crisis of the Ministry of the Environment (MMA, by its acronym in Portuguese), which has resulted in the reduction of Councils and decision-making bodies of the Ministry, discourses of denial of environmental policies relevance, breakdown of tools and environmental policies (CAPELARI et al., 2020).This is an unprecedented movement that jeopardizes natural resources preservation, wild fauna and flora and the planet. The production of scientific knowledge is key in a moment of misinformation, acting as an important foundation for decision-making, as well as for the development of public policies. [...]we present in this session two articles that were awarded in the International Workshop entitled: II Sustentare e V WIPIS - Workshop Internacional sobre Indicadores de Sustentabilidade, which provide an important discussion on water. [...]sustainability is a multifaceted phenomenon and requires an interdisciplinary construction to create systemic actions to face historical and complex problems (CONTI, 2020;DE BENEDICTO et al. 2020). [...]Municipalities, States, and the Federal Government should treat it as a priority, in order to provide living and development conditions for current and future generations.
巴西是世界上生物多样性最丰富的国家之一(联合国环境规划署，2019年)，但由于环境部(葡萄牙语缩写为MMA)当前的体制危机，导致该部门的理事会和决策机构减少，否认环境政策相关性的话语，工具和环境政策的崩溃(CAPELARI等人，2020年)，正在经历严重的环境失衡。这是一个前所未有的运动，危及自然资源保护，野生动植物和地球。在存在错误信息的时刻，科学知识的产生是关键，它是决策和制定公共政策的重要基础。[…]我们在本届会议上提出了两篇在国际研讨会上获奖的文章，题为:II Sustentare e V WIPIS -国际可持续发展严肃指标研讨会，这两篇文章对水问题进行了重要讨论。[…可持续性是一个多方面的现象，需要跨学科的构建来创造系统的行动来面对历史和复杂的问题(CONTI, 2020;DE BENEDICTO et al. 2020)。[…市政当局、各州和联邦政府应将其视为优先事项，以便为今世后代提供生活和发展条件。

Abstract This article explores how the attempt of implementing REDD+ affects the livelihoods and nature valuation of the Bribri indigenous people in Talamanca, Costa Rica. The analysis is done using a case study, discourse analysis and collective hermeneutics in documents and interviews produced by international, national, and local social actors. Controversies in the REDD+ strategy have been manifested in the initiative’s de/re/territorialization processes. These processes are legitimized by technocratic discursive strategies associated with climate change mitigation, produced in multilateral negotiations, and adapted by national institutions for purposes not aligned with the interests of the communities. It is concluded that the implementation of REDD + in indigenous territories in Costa Rica gives way to i) the commoditization of nature, participation and traditional forms of governance; ii) the consolidation of a climate eco-governmentality based on the fragmentation of nature; iii) building representations of vulnerable and impoverished indigenous people, and thus justifying intervention in their territories.

Abstract This work presents hydric conflicts in Brazil, its causes and effects and the case of conflicts related to the supply and demand of groundwater in the municipality of Araraquara, Brazil. In this municipality, the situation is classified as critical by the Tietê-Jacaré Basin Committee, to which it belongs. The main factors that cause conflicts in Araraquara and the key actors involved were identified. The demands of groundwater users were determined and the users responsible for most of the total demand were identified by the ABC Method. These users, even in small number, are the main potential causers for the conflicts, involving public and private water supply. Public policies related to water resources and conflicts management are also discussed and measures for conflict attenuation are proposed. Such measures should be implemented by key actors and the main groundwater users involved.

Abstract In understanding contemporary Latin America, a critical post-developmental approach is particularly relevant. This approach closely links modernity to coloniality and its debates are permeated by the concept of colonized nature and by trenchant critiques of 21st century neo-extractivism . This article presents the social diversity and biocultural legacies of forest peoples who live in the basins of the Tapajós and Trombetas rivers. We present an analysis of particular areas and locales, to reveal ways that plunder is perpetrated by capital, in collusion with different spheres of the State. This analysis, in turn, allows us to reflect on different forms of forest peoples’ resistance in defence of their traditionally occupied territories and ways of life.

Abstract This work evaluated whether the main goals established by the National Program for the Production and Use of Biodiesel (PNPB) were achieved between 2004 and 2018. For this purpose, reports and surveys prepared by public agencies and soybean producers were used. The results reveal that expectations of improvement in living conditions in rural areas stemming from PNPB implementation were frustrated: there were job losses in agricultural occupations, continuity of rural exodus, increase in land concentration, reduction in the contingent of family farmers, non-inclusion of poor family farmers from the North and Northeast regions. Of the original PNPB goals, only the minimum percentage of biodiesel to diesel was achieved satisfactorily, but dependence on imported diesel increased, even with the development of biodiesel production.

Abstract In concerns of non-revenue water in water supply systems, the benefits arising from the reduction of their indexes directly impact social, economic and environmental spheres, including the expansion of access to clean water. Benchmarking is a management tool already adopted by some countries in this context, aiming to reduce the amount of non-revenue water. The present study aimed to gather information about the application models of this tool, as well as to compare the performance with other countries in which it is also not applied. It was observed that the ideal benchmarking structuring model capable of minimizing these indexes includes less than annual application frequency, partial regulation, absence of confidentiality, gratuity, open and restricted reports to service providers and mean interactivity of the results release. It was also concluded that the countries where benchmarking is practiced have better performances regarding lower levels of non-revenue water.

Abstract Decolonial political ecology embodies far more than mere critique. Rather, decolonial political ecologies allow us to advance transformative proposals, to articulate sophisticated reflections on emancipatory practices, and, above all, to re-imagine future scenarios and horizons. These imagined horizons were articulated by three women from different social contexts: Bernadete Souza Ferreira Santos, a ialorixá peasant and specialist in Rural Education and Agroecology from USP, who works as a ‘popular educator’ in the region of Ilhéus (southern Bahia); Ivonne Yanez, an environmental activist from Ecuador and one of the founders of the organization Acción Ecologica; and Stefania Barca, a scholar in feminist political ecology, originally from Naples (Italy), and currently working at the Centre for Social Studies at the University of Coimbra (Portugal). Together, they show us the paths towards emancipatory horizons that can be found at the intersection between Political Ecology and feminism.
