Abstract This study aims to understand the operation dynamic of solidarity economy and the empowerment process generated by it, by analyzing the Association of Agricultural-Extractivist Women of Alto Cajari, located in the southernmost of the State of Amapa, northernmost of Brazil, which works on processing Brazilian nut. As a method, we used the cost-effectiveness analysis and qualitative research, aiming to measure the main advances and challenges imposed on the segment. This study identified the need for restructuring the management formats of promotion policies by government agencies, which should operate in a harmonious and articulated way; however, they conversely act separately, without effective communication among them, impairing the quality and the quantity of the services offered.

Abstract Social participation enriches decision-making and is considered a civil right in many democratic countries, despite remaining a challenge. This paper presents evidence and discusses the evolution of social participation in the Araçá Bay (Southeastern Brazil), as a result of participatory action-research. Over three years, a process of social mobilization and participatory environmental assessment and planning engaged local stakeholders and resulted in a sustainable development plan. Enhanced social participation was evidenced by: (1) building trust among participants; (2) increasing knowledge of social-ecological features of Araçá Bay; (3) acknowledging different perspectives and interests about the bay; and (4) improving the understanding of management dynamics and institutions. The process led to the emergence of a local stewarded group that has the potential to foster the implementation of the sustainable development plan.

Abstract The aim of the current study is to analyze the vulnerability of coastal municipalities in Pará State, based on the integration of socioeconomic, epidemiological and climatic indicators. Data were combined to climate scenarios such as Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 and 8.5, depending on the Municipal Vulnerability Index (MVI). Results have shown that the Sensitivity (SeI) and Sociodemographic (SdI) Indices had strong influence on the current vulnerability of the investigated municipalities. The association between current vulnerability index and future climate change projections has shown that municipalities located in Marajó Island region are the most vulnerable ones - to the West of the study site, where MVI ranged from 1 (in Afuá) to 0.55 (in Soure), for scenarios 4.5 and 8.5, respectively. The current results can contribute to the effective adoption of public policies focused on prioritizing the most vulnerable municipalities and on preparing them to deal with adverse aspects of climate change.

Abstract This article brings the transcription and revision of the roundtable discussion held at the III Latin American Congress of Political Ecology, which aimed to debate different experiences of collective struggles against projects of extraction of natural resource, with the participation of indigenous leaders, traditional communities and activist intellectuals. The narratives shares experiences in processes in which there was collective resistance to extractive-colonial projects and the right to say “no” was put into practice. In general, the presentations discussed the right to say no that emerges beyond the right to consultation, and that has as its assumption the guarantee of collective autonomy over life territories.

Abstract After the Vale’s tailings dam failure in Brumadinho (Minas Gerais) in early 2019, a group of researchers and activists from around the world produced a thematic map in the Global Atlas of Environmental Justice (EJAtlas) including 30 cases of environmental conflicts in which Vale had a prominent role. In this paper, these cases are analysed in light of Vale’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) discourses and practices, aiming to explore the contradiction of high CSR standards in the company and in other large multinationals in the mining sector coexisting with many socio-environmental conflicts. The analysis indicates that the company’s performance contrasts with its CSR discourse and that, even when Vale considers its performance both responsible and exemplary, the company reproduces environmental injustices and is therefore rather practicing Corporate Social Irresponsibility.

Em uma reunião de defensores ambientais, nas rodas de diálogos e mesas sobre mineração, sobre ecofeminismos e sobre o direito de dizer não de populações tradicionais frente a mega projetos extrativos, foi possível estabelecer trocas de pensamentos e experiências entre lideranças comunitárias, ambientalistas populares, pesquisadoras e pesquisadores nas universidades e intelectuais orgânicos.

O artigo Governança Participativa de terras em Moçambique: Breve revisão do Quadro Legal e desafios de implementação, escrito pela advogada ambientalista moçambicana Alda Salomão, nos mostra como Moçambique, apesar de ter um modelo progressista de governança de terras que prevê mecanismos participativos, não o implementa na prática, o que leva ao desrespeito dos direitos das comunidades.

De acordo com dados da National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a agência espacial dos Estados Unidos, e do Sistema Copernicus, da União Europeia, os grandes incêndios globais de 2020 foram os mais devastadores, considerados os 18 anos de pesquisas e de geração de dados globais sobre incêndios florestais. E os efeitos dos grandes incêndios ocorridos na Austrália, Califórnia, Ártico, África tropical, Indonésia e Brasil continuarão afetando todo o clima global, de forma persistente, ainda por muito tempo. Vale destacar que o ano de 2020 foi o mais quente já registrado no mundo, juntamente com 2016, finalizando uma década de temperaturas recorde que evidenciam a urgência de uma atuação contra o aquecimento global, conforme apresentado pelo Sistema Copernicus, no início de janeiro de 2021.

Abstract Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) requires social learning and linkages between actors and levels under Adaptive Co-Management (ACM), especially in landscapes with high biodiversity and vulnerability, such as the Tropical Andes. Methodology: A multicriteria methodology was designed and applied to identify, characterize, select and evaluate the ACM and the constraining and enabling conditions for its effectiveness in EbA actions implemented between 2011 and 2015. Results: 1. The integration of conservation, restoration and sustainable production, and linkage among institutions and sectors through local leadership, enable knowledge coproduction, social learning and innovation. 2. Governance and planning based on a landscape approach, and acknowledgment of the diversity of contexts, promote dialogue, cooperation and institutional innovation. 3. Economic alternatives in production, marketing and local markets, as well as complete and adequate technology transfers, stable and planned funding and monitoring, promote sustainability.

Abstract This article analyzes the process of construction of public policies of sustainable production and consumption in Brazil after the country joined the Marrakesh Process in 2003. Based on the strategic action fields perspective, we analyze the emergence of this field, its characteristics and their status through the collective action of their main social actors, their actions, interests and disputes. Empirical material for analysis included plans developed during the period, minutes of the meeting, documents submitted to the public consultation, responses provided by civil society after the consultation, as well as in-depth interviews. Evidence shows that a series of obstacles have been delaying further advances of the politics of sustainable production and consumption due to disputes between incumbents and challengers.

Abstract Urban agriculture has its history tied to the development of civilizations. Aiming to identify the benefits generated by the practice and its motivations, a literature review and later analysis of articles describing current experiences, management characteristics and organization aspects was carried out. In countries with a very high HDI, community gardens and the well-being of the population are prominent themes. Countries with high HDI focus on soil contamination and mitigation of pollution impacts, as countries with an average HDI has as main theme the sustainability of the practice. Finally, low HDI countries discuss their importance for food security. Regardless of the objectives that motivate urban agriculture and research in the area, is evidenced its contribution to the environmental, social and economic quality of cities.
