Incêndios florestais, a sociedade civil e os estados: um estudo de caso da Austrália e do Brasil a partir de 2019

Abstract

The aim of the research is to analyze the cases of forest fires in Australia and Brazil between the period 2019 and 2020 from the dynamics present in Global Governance and in Global Civil Society, in which States and Non-Governmental Organizations are involved. The research is qualitative, and to address the themes proposed above, the analysis of articles, government reports, from international and national organizations were used, in addition to an expressive analysis of the websites of NGOs such as Greenpeace. From these observations, it was possible to understand the direct impact between the mismanagement of environmental policies observed in the two Governments, of Australia and Brazil, in addition to considering the participation of NGOs as the main way to criticize the actions of governments in combating forest fires. Although it was seen that the impacts in the two cases have different causes, considering that climate change affects them in similar ways, the events caused by different environmental factors have been extreme in both cases, the prolongation and duration of these events are becoming more and more constant. From this, it is significant to understand that the relationship between the State and the participation of Global Civil Society in current issues is inevitable, so it is appropriate to point out that NGOs should act in a way that can relate the criticism to the States and fight the problems environmental issues.
