Integração de políticas ambientais no Brasil: uma análise de políticas de mudanças climáticas e biodiversidade

Abstract

This article debates the importance and the current state of environmental policy integration among the areas of climate change and biodiversity in Brazil. It presents and critically evaluates the theoretical assumption that differences in bureaucratic cultures will necessarily result in policy integration difficulties. Based on the theoretical framework of grid-group cultural theory, it argues that the dominant egalitarian style developed within the context of biodiversity policies diverges, and sometimes hampers integration with climate change policies, which were found to present a predominantly hierarchical approach. Finally, the role of political leadership in overcoming the institutional barriers represented by bureaucratic cultures is also presented as an important factor relativizing and qualifying the predictions of cultural theory. Keywords: cultural theory; policy integration; climate change; biodiversity. Integração de políticas ambientais no Brasil: uma análise de políticas de mudanças climáticas e biodiversidadeEste trabalho discute a importância e o estado atual da integração de políticas ambientais das áreas de mudança do clima e da biodiversidade no Brasil. Ele apresenta e avalia criticamente o pressuposto teórico de que diferenças em termos de culturas burocráticas resultarão em dificuldades de integração de políticas. Com base no arcabouço teórico da teoria cultural (grid-group), argumenta-se que a tendência igualitária desenvolvida na implementação de políticas de biodiversidade diverge e potencialmente prejudica a integração dessa área com a de mudanças climáticas, cuja tendência cultural predominante observada foi hierárquica. Por fim o papel das lideranças políticas em superar barreiras institucionais representadas por culturas burocráticas é também apresentado como um fator importante, relativizando e qualificando as previsões da teoria cultural.Palavras-chave: teoria cultural; integração de políticas; mudanças climáticas; biodiversidade.Integración de políticas ambientales en Brasil: un análisis de políticas sobre el clima y la biodiversidad Este artículo discute la importancia y el estado actual de la integración de las políticas ambientales de las áreas de cambio climático y biodiversidad en Brasil.

Mining Waste Challenges: Environmental Risks of Gigatons of Mud, Dust and Sediment in Megadiverse Regions in Brazil

“…In recent decades, multi-institutional good practices, guidance, and standards for the management of mining waste have established dozens of principles, key components, and guidelines, some of technical nature, such as plans and criteria for design, construction, operation and monitoring, and others addressing governance and environmental management [2,58,59]. For example, the Mining Principles of the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) [15] define performance expectations for responsible mining in terms of environmental, social, and governance practices.…”

Atores e instituições na formulação da Política de Mudanças Climáticas no Brasil

“…The National Policy on Climate Change established institutions which would be responsible for the governance of an essentially environmental policy with direct connections to the performance of the Brazilian economy, as demand is Brazilian policy on climate change. In its Article 7, the National Climate Change Policy determines the political-institutional framework for coordination, formulation and implementation: The processes of formulating environmental policies (and it is no different in the case of climate change policy), in general, are characterized by highly complex due to the diversity of actors involved, including: (i) different degrees of power, and (ii) number of incentives (DONADELLI, 2017;MOURA & JATOBÁ, 2009;RODRIGUES, 2011;LEZAMA, 2004). The climate change as an environmental policy can illustrate how transversality involves the environment matter, both politically and institutionally (DOMINGUEZ, 2010;CORRALES, 2007).).…”
