How good are Brazilian environmental policies, and how bad could they be? - Professor Jean Paul Metzger (University of Sao Paulo)
IFE Distinguished Visitor Lecture - recorded 5 June 2019 at QUT.
The effective implementation of environmental policies has a huge impact on the conservation of biodiversity. However, policies can change according to the socio-economic and political situation. Brazil is facing an important political transition that could impair environmental policies, affecting biodiverse regions with negative impacts around the world. This Distinguished Visitor Lecture provides a critical evaluation of Brazilian environmental policies (how good they were), and discusses future political scenarios (how bad they could be). A particular emphasis will be given to the new Brazilian Forest Code, the main law that protects native vegetation on private properties.
