The Brazilian government withdrew its commitments with multilateral environmental agreements, including the Paris Agreement and the European Union Convention on Climatic Changes. However, the recent fires in the Amazon rainforest extend the discussions about whether the agreement will indeed contribute to environmental preservation and sustainable development.<\/p>\n<p>Due to that, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cartadebelem.org.br\/site\/\">Carta de Bel\u00e9m Group<\/a>, in partnership with BRICS Policy Center organized, on September 25th, 2019,\u00a0 the public debate \u201cCan the Environmental Clauses of the Mercosur- European Union save the Amazon forest?&#8221;. The event consisted of the contributions of Larissa Packer, GRAIN and Carta de Bel\u00e9m, Manuel Edvaldo, representative of the STTS and Maureen Santos, <a href=\"\/?p=1101\">Socio-Environmental Platform Coordinator (BPC)<\/a>, and Environmental Justice Coordinator for the Heinrich B\u00f6ll Brasil\u00a0Foundation. Alice Amorim, Instituto Clima e Sociedade, conduced the debate panel.<\/p>\n<p>On the occasion, the panelists debated the causes of Amazon deforestation, the limits of the free trade agreement and also of its environmental clauses. Besides, they also highlighted the danger concerning false solutions to combat the fires and subsequently amazon rainforest deforestation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The trade agreement between Mercosur and the European Union has been a subject of intense debate, especially its environmental clauses and expected impacts on environmental preservation in Brazil.
