Summary of rationales for climate litigation in Brazil

The publication Summary of rationales for climate litigation in Brazil: legal arguments for the inclusion of the climate variable in environmental licensing, developed by JUMA/PUC-Rio, with support from iCS, systematizes legal arguments to show that environmental licensing has its place guaranteed as a climate policy instrument.


The study provides theoretical, normative and jurisprudential basis for demanding the consideration of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from potentially polluting enterprises in environmental licensing. Historically relegated to a secondary role in the scope of climate governance, environmental licensing is one of the most important instruments for preventive control of environmental damage.


The publication is available in Portuguese and English versions.
