Maria Eduarda’s undergraduate thesis defended before PUC-Rio Law School as a partial requirement for obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in Law. It addresses the recognition of the human right to a safe and stable climate as a path to the protection against the adverse effects of anthropogenic climate change in the Anthropocene Epoch. Climate injustices are evident considering that those who have contributed the least to the climate crisis are the most vulnerable to its negative impacts. It shows that the obstacles to effective responses to climate change are related to its ethical complexity. Therefore, the thesis stresses that it is necessary to understand the climate issue from a human rights perspective. Stemming from the doctrine and the analysis of the political and legal context of different regions of the world, it concludes that recognizing the human right to a safe and stable climate is an emerging claim and must be considered as a strategy to achieve climate justice in the Anthropocene.

Undergraduate thesis that approaches the responses of law to deal with the climate crisis, mainly in the international and domestic spheres. It points out that the Global Climate Regime has brought achievements, but is not able to provide, alone, the necessary measures to avoid climate change and its adverse effects. It proposes a combination of domestic approaches to demand more action and ambition from governments and private actors, using climate litigation as an instrument to contribute, especially in its strategic form. It presents the advantages of climate litigation combining bases of national and international regulations to demand more ambition in climate action.

Paper presented at the 15th Congress of Undergraduate and Postgraduate Students in Environmental Law of the Instituto o Direito por um Planeta Verde (IDPV).

Annual Scientific Initiation Research Report (PIBIC), prepared under the guidance of Professor Danielle de Andrade Moreira and presented at the XXVII Scientific and Technological Initiation Seminar at PUC-Rio. Climate change is analyzed from the perspective of the natural sciences and the social sciences in order to highlight the role that climate litigation can play in promoting climate justice by driving the internalization of climate burdens by those most responsible for anthropogenic climate change.

Article published in the E-book Theses by Professionals and Graduate Students based on the proceedings of the 26th Brazilian Conference on Environmental Law of the Institute “The Law for a Green Planet.” The article relates the relationship between the climate crisis and the emergence of zoonoses with the potential to cause future epidemics and pandemics, focusing specifically on the case of COVID-19. In addition, it critically analyzes the difficulties this reality presents from the perspective of climate justice, considering social vulnerabilities and populations unequally affected by both the climate crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The paper aims to systematize arguments for demanding the domestic implementation of the Paris Agreement to support Brazilian climate litigation. It argues the supra-legal status of international environmental treaties, including the Paris Agreement, and analyzes the treaty's provisions and its points of dialogue with the Brazilian environmental legal framework. The study reviews some foreign reference cases on the subject, and shows how they can contribute to the treatment of the topic in Brazil.

Article that won the X José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva Award. Aims to bring an analysis of the application and effectiveness of the “structural process” in lawsuits related to climate litigation. The author presents the phenomena of climate litigation and “structural litigation” and analyzes past climate change cases to demonstrate how the application of the “structural process” could bring benefits to litigation that deals with the effects of climate change.

E-Book published by Editora PUC-Rio that demonstrates that there are already enough legal tools to demand the inclusion of the climate variable in environmental licensing in Brazil, and that climate litigation can be used to compel this inclusion.

Paper that aims to explore part of the existing legal toolkit – of legislation, case law, and doctrine – that is already consolidated in the Environmental Law field and should be explored for litigating the climate crisis in Brazil. The article makes the case that Brazil is a fertile ground for climate litigation by utilizing already established and successfully tested legal avenues for preventing, mitigating, and compensating adverse environmental impacts caused by the private sector or by the State, and that can be brought before national courts as strong legal arguments.

Paper presented at the 15th Congress of Undergraduate and Postgraduate Students in Environmental Law of the Instituto o Direito por um Planeta Verde (IDPV). It utilizes the case of Brazilian environmental law to discuss the potential of using climate litigation to promote climate justice.

Annual Scientific Initiation Research Report (PIBIC), prepared under the guidance of Professor Danielle de Andrade Moreira, and presented at the XXVIII Seminar on Scientific and Technological Initiation at PUC-Rio. It critically analyzes the international literature on climate litigation to bring a more inclusive perspective by focusing specifically on the litigation proposed in the Global South. It highlights the most meaningful peculiarities and trends of these cases, as well as elucidates the reasons behind these choices. It pays particular attention to the unique context of the Global South and the additional difficulties faced by this most vulnerable segment of the world.

Paper presented at the 14th Congress of Undergraduate and Graduate Students in Environmental Law of the Instituto o Direito por um Planeta Verde (IDPV) and winner of the Juliana Santilli Award for Best Undergraduate Thesis 2019. It outlines man-made climate changes and contextualizes them in the current geological epoch of the Anthropocene and the climate justice movement. In this context, certain communities are especially vulnerable, and the article argues for a reinterpretation of the Law in order to face the unequal distribution of burdens and benefits caused by climate risks.

Article that won the Vladimir Garcia Magalhães Award from APRODAB in 2020. It addresses the specific vulnerability of women through the intersectionality that unites the categories of gender and the climate crisis.
