The paper studies the problems brought about by Resolution 40066 of 2022 of the Ministry of Mines and Energy of Colombia, regarding the new requirements it sets up for the flaring and venting of natural gas in Colombia. These requirements, which must be followed by the investing companies, imply an investment in infrastructure and technology that may imply a contractual imbalance and a negative impact on foreign investors. From a documentary analysis method with a systematic and deductive approach, the authors analyze the problematic scenario posed by the resolution and concludes that it is necessary to find a balance between the two legal interests at stake: the environment and free enterprise. As a result, the paper supplies a comprehensive and integrative view of the State's obligation to protect the environment, but also to ensure a stable and predictable legal framework for investments.

Local, indigenous and traditional communities possess a body of knowledge about their territory that can be fundamental for adaptation to the effects of climate change. However, this knowledge, known in academic circles as "traditional ecological knowledge" (TEK), is usually ignored in public policies that seek to respond to climate change and environmental degradation. This situation is not only the result of the epistemological gap between Western totalizing knowledge and grassroots knowledge, but also of the structural deficits in communication and information that afflict many vulnerable communities.

Resumo Objetivo Este artigo propõe repensar a psicologia social a partir dos saberes indígenas, considerando que eles interrogam as políticas de subjetivação derivadas da concepção binária de natureza e cultura que fundamenta a modernidade. Método Trata-se de um artigo teórico que analisa as contribuições indígenas para a descolonização do pensamento psicológico, considerando o contexto das mudanças climáticas. É problematizada a abrangência do que se entende como social, assim como a quem a subjetividade é atribuída ou não na psicologia. Resultados A psicologia reproduz as dicotomias ocidentais ao basear-se numa natureza fixa, externa a si, cujo social é concebido a partir do excepcionalismo humano. Para os povos que compreendem a vida como efeito de relacionalidades entre seres humanos e não-humanos, essas categorias não fazem o menor sentido. Conclusão A complexidade dos saberes e o protagonismo indígena frente às lutas por terra e território num contexto de mudanças climáticas apontam para a urgência de reterritorialização da psicologia social.

Niilismo, neoliberalismo e catástrofe: A subjetividade neoliberal, como estudada por Foucault, Laval e Dardot, acaba por reforçar o niilismo, que já tinha sido tão bem interpretado e conjurado por Nietzsche, ainda no século XIX. Esse aprofundamento acontece principalmente pelo viés do ressentimento, um dos afetos que está presente tanto na leitura neoliberal como nos estudos sobre o niilismo. No século XXI, a cientista política Wendy Brown atualizou essa correlação do niilismo e do ressentimento com o neoliberalismo, demonstrando que os atuais grupos de extrema-direita, com receio de perderem suas posições de privilégio, decidem por, de forma ressentida, atacar segmentos da sociedade que foram historicamente ostracizados. Por sua vez, Nietzsche ainda se mantém uma boa ferramenta para estudar as agremiações extremistas ao demonstrar que o problema não é a liberação da vontade de poder desse grupos extremistas, mas que tal vontade de poder é reativa, age em chave negativa, nunca de maneira a criar novos valores afirmativos. O resultado dessa mistura de neoliberalismo e niilismo ressentido é o agravamento da catástrofe climática. Como Latour explica, a destruição do mundo, esse niilismo elevado à máxima potência, foi uma decisão deliberada de parte da elite neoliberal exatamente quando tal formato político-econômico se tornou hegemônico no Ocidente.

This article seeks to discuss the associations elaborated by riverine interlocutors between infrastructures and the landscape in which they occur, within the context of climate change in the Brazilian state of Amazonas. Here, we debate the relational character of infrastructures, and how they act as important markers of river seasonality, landscape, people's existence, and practices from the perspective of the accessed riverine people. This paper's discussion is supported by qualitative data from semi-structured interviews and field notes from two riverine communities in the Amazonas state: Tumbira and Lago do Catalão. Inspired by authors who dialogue with Social Studies of Science and Technology and discuss infrastructures, their effects, their relational and ontological character, we seek to identify entanglements of landscape and infrastructure, and their implications in the practices and ways of living of riverine Amazonian people. Elements such as gas pipelines, power transmission lines, hydroelectric plants, cargo ships, and highways emerge, affect, and are affected in these entangled landscapes in the eyes of the riverine people. They merge with other entanglements such as the rivers and creeks that perform the riverine landscape and life. Thus, they induce reflections on such relationships and the affectations permeated by fears, wishes, and (dis)trust of their operation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study aims to bring some reflections on the role of the corporate citizen faithful to the law, as synonymous with a company that has an effective compliance program, in terms of possible violations of human rights as a result of climate change. To do so, it discusses climate change and human rights. In this first stage, the focus is on the interrelationship between the aforementioned themes, insofar as the first can directly affect the second. Then, in the expanded study, when the company is listed as an important agenda promoting climate change, some soft law instruments that regulate the subject matter of study are listed, mainly the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights 2011. Finally, it reflects on how the corporate citizen faithful to the law can be a partner of human rights in the context of climate change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resumo Este artigo tem por objetivo expor parte do emaranhamento que envolve o modo de habitar de ribeirinhos do Vale do Alto-Médio São Francisco, também chamados barranqueiros, com as águas e entes outros-que-humanos que compõem a paisagem (co)construída às margens do rio. O ponto de partida para descrever criticamente essa socialidade mais-que-humana às margens do Rio São Francisco são as entendências dos habitantes da comunidade de Ribanceira, no município de São Romão, em Minas Gerais, sobre as águas em seus fluxos pluviais e fluviais. Imersos na alternância cíclica entre o tempo das águas e o tempo da seca, que orientam suas atividades de pesca e de roça, os barranqueiros da Ribanceira tem vivenciado fluxos pluviais cada vez menos frequentes e intensos, bem como experimentado o convívio com um rio preocupantemente sem corrida que dá cores às narrativas em tons desalentadores sobre a proximidade da época ou fim dos tempos.

The article, adapted from the opening conference of the 22nd National Journalism Teaching Meeting (Enejor), discusses climate and biodiversity issues and defines environmental journalism as journalism committed to combating climate change. It presents recommendations for climate and biodiversity communication and indicates ways for dialogue with different audiences - conservative, progressive, faith communities. Finally, it discusses the centrality of Latin America in relation to environmental issues and shows how the narratives of original peoples can inspire communication about climate change.

This article shows that the experience accrued by the Chilean Supreme Court in lawsuits on tort and environmental liability, should allow it to address the ethical-environmental and legal issues that global warming implies, either by preventing harm through the imposition on the major emitters of greenhouse gases, including the State, of the duty to reduce emissions rapidly and significantly, or by demanding and enforcing the obligation to adapt to climate change through the attribution of tort liability or environmental liability.

The implementation of ecosystem-based adaptation (eba) and blue carbon (bc) favors climate change management; the Greater Caribbean has great potential to develop both measures, however, there is limited contextualization on the support provided by the countries for their implementation. Under this approach, the article analyzes the inclusion of eba and bc measures in regulations and institutions as a mechanism for climate change management in the Greater Caribbean. For this purpose, it conducts a qualitative documentary review (n = 77) in which 25 % of the records address the regulations and institutions that support climate change adaptation and mitigation, 35 % present regulatory impacts in the execution of eba and bc, and 40 % of the texts relate the marine protected areas as propitious policy instruments for the management of both measures. The records show that eba and bc need specific support regulations, the application of eba in mangroves and seagrasses is limited, and the bc is incipient. There are difficulties to access funding and a need to strengthen governance and improve stakeholder participation and institutional capacity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Environmentally conscious citizen don't think homogeneous. Their different perceptions of the world cause a moral diversity in climate politics. The article shows that religious and non-religious approaches to climate adaptation refer back to a variety of transcendent notions of truth. Claims of validity result from concrete images of the world including community constructing ideas and action guiding notions such as the kingdom of God or the icon "blue Planet". We can therefore not expect worldwide homogeneous climate-politics. But notions of truth do not describe the world as it is, they rather show the images that people follow. This is why even opposing conceptions for climate mitigation such as the demand for and the claim against nuclear power can be open to compromise. Voting for the acceptance of plurality, the article suggests not to ignore the Christian wisdom of Chalcedon that offers a way, how to deal with opposing proclaims. The article originates from the Global Centre for Water Security and Climate Change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes the influence of education on the sustainable behavior of the inhabitants of the municipality of Sabaneta. Using data from the 2018 Citizen Perception Survey on Quality of Life, a probit model is used to analyze the effects of education considering sociodemographic characteristics. The results show better environmental behavior as schooling increases, although there are significative differences between individuals: it is more favorable among people under 55 years of age and rural dwellers than among members of their control groups. These results are of interest for educational initiatives aimed at improving attitudes towards the environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The 21st century is the century of environmental sustainability and the fight against climate change. Climate change will condition public policies and private actions throughout the world to achieve the objective of reducing emissions enhanced in international agreements (Kyoto, Paris). The objective of this article is to carry out a review of the already verified effects of climate change in the Mediterranean region, as well as the adaptation and mitigation measures in the short-medium term to face global warming, such as the adaptation of urban spaces (local scale), and the improvement of teaching about this phenomenon. According to the 2030 Agenda, the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically n.13 ("Action for the climate"), it establishes two main actions that countries must complete by 2030: the approval of laws and mitigation and adaptation plans, and the implementation of educational programs.

Environmental education like all forms of education is a process of learning that requires an optimally designed teaching curriculum. However, unlike other conventional courses and forms of education, environmental education is not a linear form of learning as it requires complex and placebased designed teaching due to the individuality and diversity of people and their local environment and biodiversity. Libya like most countries of the world has joined the active fight against climate change through the incorporation of environmental education into the traditional system of education and designing a curriculum for the entire school system to ensure uniformity in learning standards. This study carries out an investigation of the efficiency of the Libyan primary school environmental education curriculum from the perspective of primary school teachers. Using openended questionnaires designed using an adequate theoretical framework, teachers in Libya were surveyed for their perceptions on satisfaction with the curriculum, their dislikes about the curriculum, what they enjoyed the most in the curriculum, and how they prepared using it and the complementary modifications they carry out on it. The results of this study indicate a finding where the majority of the teachers were happy with its efficiency but have recommended several changes to it to enable it to become optimal.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the occurrence of yellow fever - YF and the climate and environment during the epidemic-epizootic process in the Brazilian Southeast region from 2016 to 2018. Methods: the methodology considered four approaches: a spatial analysis of the epidemiological situation; detection of clusters of human cases and spatial distribution of epizootics in clusters; identification of environmental and climatic factors; and correlation of the relative risk of the clusters with the associated factors. Results: Most positive cases occurred in Minas Gerais and São Paulo. Clusters were detected in the years 2017 and 2018. The study period had the highest temperature values and the lowest precipitation compared to the 20-year climatological period of analysis. Seasonality marks the temporal pattern of the disease, where most cases occur between December and May. In addition, outbreaks occur with irregular periodicity when the virus finds favorable conditions for transmission. The constant transformation was observed in geographic space, where land use and land cover have the highest percentage linked to rural areas, followed by forest areas. A correlation between the relative risk of clusters and environmental and climatic factors was confirmed. Conclusion: The correlation of climatic and environmental factors and the presence of vectors and non-human primates-PNHs generated a vulnerability scenario for the Southeast region. Public health plans for vaccinating the population and controlling urban vectors should be evaluated to prevent the re-emergence of urban YF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

O objectivo deste estudo foi avaliar o impacto da mineração de carvão na mudança dos padrões climáticos e na vida da comunidade local em Moatize, Moçambique. A metodologia utilizada incluiu a análise de dados climáticos de dois períodos distintos e a aplicação de um inquérito à população local. Os resultados mostraram que houve uma redução na tendência de aumento dos dias secos e uma tendência de diminuição dos dias consecutivos húmidos, enquanto a precipitação total anual e a temperatura máxima e mínima apresentaram tendências de aumento. A comunidade local percebeu essas mudanças e atribuiu principalmente à mineração de carvão. Além disso, os efeitos dessas mudanças incluem a redução da produção agrícola, problemas de acesso à água potável e o aumento dos casos de doenças relacionadas ao clima. Como conclusão, é necessário adotar medidas para mitigar os efeitos da mineração na mudança climática e na qualidade de vida da comunidade local, como a adopção de tecnologias mais limpas na mineração e o desenvolvimento de programas de apoio aos agricultores afectados.

Background: Supplementation of grazing cattle with native and naturalized forages using silvopastoral systems has been suggested as an affordable strategy to reduce methane production and improve nutrition, diminishing the environmental impact of cattle production. Objective: To evaluate the effect of three tropical forage species in a silvopastoral arrangement on methane production and fermentation parameters using an in vitro ruminal simulation system (RUSITEC). Methods: Four diets were evaluated. The control treatment was a basal diet of colosuana grass (COL; Bothriochloa pertusa), while the other diets consisted of 70% COL complemented with 30% shrub forage from either Leucaena leucocephala (CL), Guazuma ulmifolia (CG), or Crescentia cujete (CT). A randomized complete block design with repeated measurements over time was used. Results: The inclusion of shrub forage did not affect pH, organic matter degradation (OMD) or volatile fatty acids (VFA). The inclusion of shrub forage affected the degradation of structural components. The concentration of N-NH3 increased in the CL diet compared to COL (p<0.05). In general, methane production in terms of mL/day, mL/g DMi, mL/g DMd, and mL/gOMd was reduced for CL compared to COL (p<0.05). Conclusions: Based on these results, inclusion of Leucaena leucocephala, Guazuma ulmifolia or Crescentia cujete on B. pertusa-based diets improves ruminal fermentation parameters and reduces in vitro methane production.

Para viabilizar a transição do sistema de energia onde predomina o uso e consumo de energias fósseis para um sistema de baixo carbono, é importante destacar o papel da governança multinível. Nesse interim, a descentralização do planejamento energético (PE) é indispensável para a formulação de políticas públicas coerentes e integradas, necessárias ao enfrentamento de mudanças climáticas. O presente trabalho analisa a governança multinível do arcabouço de políticas energéticas no Brasil, apontando suas limitações e possibilidades para alavancar a atuação no nível subnacional em PE, focando a região da Macrometrópole Paulista. Embora tenham sido identificados vários elementos capazes de alavancar o desenvolvimento do PE nos vários níveis da federação, nota-se uma falta de integração na governança entre as leis e políticas de mudança climática e energia.

A rápida mudança climática que está sendo sentida no planeta, evidenciada pelo quadro de insustentabilidade de resíduos gerados pelas atuais fontes e perdas da biodiversidade, expõe a necessidade de mudanças nas fontes energéticas e materiais. No âmbito dessas discussões, a Amazônia é sempre refletida como um ponto importante. Nesse cenário, o presente trabalho propõe um acordo verde para a Amazônia brasileira. Assim sendo, analisa-se a questão da preservação da Amazônia, a contextualização da necessidade de mudanças na economia e a Teoria Monetária Moderna como apoiadora dessa governança de transição econômica, postas por meio de sugestões e propostas nesse acordo verde.

A elevação do nível do mar resultante da mudança climática está alterando a dinâmica dos sistemas costeiros, colocando em risco a população que reside nas zonas costeiras baixas. Identificar a população em situação de vulnerabilidade social é fundamental, pois é esta que sofrerá ainda mais com o impacto de subida do nível mar. O objetivo deste artigo foi o de gerar um Índice de Vulnerabilidade Social (IVSo) para a orla municipal de Pelotas, no Rio Grande do Sul. A abordagem adotada foi a de Análise de Componentes Principais, utilizando 11 indicadores para o ano de 2010 nos setores censitários em contato com a orla. A metodologia explicou 80,8% da variância dos dados a partir de 3 componentes. A maioria dos setores apresentou IVSo alta (82,6%), e os indicadores renda e educação possuíram o maior peso na definição do índice.

Currently, many studies are already available on people's theoretical knowledge about climate change. The results of some of these studies show the existence of serious confusion regarding certain phenomena and basic concepts of great importance, even despite the fact that, in recent years, the problem regarding climate change has become increasingly relevant in different media, and it is also present in school curricula as a fundamental part of Education for Sustainability. Some of these confusions constitute true alternative ideas. This paper first analyses the incidence and strength of five of these ideas in students of Compulsory Secondary Education (CSE) and in various groups of teachers in training. Then, a didactic proposal is made to achieve change in one of those ideas, which involves various concepts and principles of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, three case studies are analyzed in Uruguay at the basin level, to identify the factors that favor the flood phenomenon. Transformations in land use and eventually climate change are considered. Over a 30-year period, land use modifications were evaluated using a Geographic Information System, and the variability of rainfall and river levels was analyzed. The three basins show completely different behavior from their land use change, and show increasing trends in rainfall over the period analyzed. It is evident that land use change is one of the most influential factors in the increase of flooding in urban areas. These transformations are mostly related to the exploitation of soil for the generation of commodities for export and generate modifications in the agrarian territories in Uruguay.

The study was inspired by the theoretical approaches of Beghtol, Buckland, Kleinberg, and Hjørland to discuss knowledge representation on Climate Change and COVID-19 in the context of Agenda 2030. This exploratory research was based on bibliometric methods through VOSviewer and CitNetexplorer tools to analyze the terms Climate Change and COVID-19, in the databases Scopus, Web of Science, and Dimensions, in the period 2019-2020. Approaches 7 and 8 of domain analysis were used to discuss the knowledge of disciplinarity and to identify the emergence of domains. Data collected from Brazil National Council for Scientific and Technological Development, in the Lattes Platform and Directory of Research Groups, were added for analysis purposes. The conclusion pointed out that Climate Change and COVID-19 can be considered emerging domains, suggesting a possible post-disciplinary model. The 2030 Agenda reinforces the importance of international cooperation and a commitment to exchange information on scientific communities and other communities that discuss sustainable solutions to global problems such as Climate Change and COVID-19.

On the night of 1 June 2021, the northern region of Maputo and Matola city was buffeted by hailstorms of various sizes, the most predominant ranging from 0.5 cm - 4.5 cm. This study aims to analyze the impacts of hailstorms on urban horticulture in the northern strip of Maputo and Matola city. We also observed the effects on domestic horticultural production in some neighborhoods affected by hailstorms. Mixed methodology was chosen, supported by the following methods and techniques: bibliographical and documental research, direct observation, measurement of the dimension and characteristics of the hail generated in the soil, cartography, interview, analysis, and synthesis. In all production areas it was notorious the total and partial destruction of ready-to-cut vegetable, with emphasis on cabbage, lettuce, and onions, which resulted in heavy financial losses for farmers. These losses generated a significant increase in vegetable prices in the following days in local markets. This research suggests the need to closely monitor weather events considering the dynamics imposed by climate change, as well as to improve the system of communicating environmental risks to the most vulnerable population.

RESUMO Dentre os inúmeros atravessamentos que permeiam a conjuntura de um desastre, os aspectos psicossociais merecem destaque por incluírem questões culturais, sociais, estruturais, psíquicas, sanitárias e simbólicas. O objetivo desta revisão foi apresentar como esses aspectos têm sido explorados na literatura científica nos últimos 20 anos (1997-2016) por autores e periódicos de países da América do Sul, em contextos de desastre socioambiental de origem geoclimática. Foi realizado levantamento bibliográfico nas bases eletrônicas Capes, SciELO, Latindex e Portal da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. Levando-se em conta os critérios de inclusão e exclusão adotados nesta revisão, 52 publicações constituíram a amostra final. O levantamento revelou a predominância das temáticas ‘saúde mental’, ‘impactos psicossociais e na saúde’, ‘saúde pública’ e ‘gestão de riscos’. Os resultados evidenciaram a desigualdade social como fator potencializador de desastres e a ineficiência de políticas públicas no Brasil para a redução de riscos de desastres, bem como o predomínio de estudos que associam o apoio psicossocial a intervenções restritas ao campo da saúde mental. Como caso oposto, o artigo apresenta a construção da identidade e das políticas públicas chilenas em função dos terremotos ocorridos no País.

RESUMO Pela primeira vez na história, presenciam-se transformações no padrão esperado do clima com consequências ainda desconhecidas para sociedade industrial moderna. Esses riscos globais ocorrem em um mundo cada vez mais conectado, com população crescente e ambientalmente degradado, tendo como pano de fundo um cenário em que há uma relação proporcionalmente inversa entre os países, populações e grupos sociais que sofrem, de modo mais amplo e intenso, os riscos e danos provocados pelas mudanças climáticas. Um dos impactos imediatos já observados é o aumento na frequência e na magnitude de eventos extremos, gerando cenários propícios ao surgimento de emergências em saúde. Este artigo teve como objetivo apresentar os principais desafios para redução de riscos à saúde relacionados com mudanças no clima, desastre e Emergências em Saúde Pública; os principais avanços nas políticas sobre o tema; e ações de saúde dentro desse complexo cenário social, ambiental e sanitário iminente. Como resultado, apresentam-se os principais acordos globais relacionados e as necessidades de ampliação do Sistema Nacional de Redução de Riscos à Saúde visando fortalecer as ações necessárias, a fim de obter resposta adequada aos fatores de risco apresentados. Para tanto, apresentam-se seis recomendações necessária à elaboração desse sistema.
