Governos de extrema direita e a agenda ambiental: uma análise entre os mandatos de Jair Bolsonaro e Donald Trump

Abstract

This academic work aims to analyze the interactions between far-right governments and the global environmental agenda, focusing on the environmental policies implemented during the administrations of Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil and Donald Trump in the United States. Both leaders adopted approaches characterized by environmental deregulation, prioritizing short-term economic interests over sustainability and environmental preservation. The research evaluates the impacts of these policies, including significant increases in deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, and natural resource degradation, as well as their implications for international climate governance. Finally, the study reflects on the legacies of these governments, including reputational impacts on Brazil and the United States, and discusses the possibilities of resuming and strengthening environmental agendas in democratic contexts, emphasizing the need for political commitment and effective governance to address contemporary climate challenges
