Selected problems of water, electricity and waste management in Brazil in the context of its impact on climate change mitigation

The article discusses selected problems related to environmental protection in the context of climate change in the Ceará region of North-Eastern Brazil. The authors analyse the lack of water and negative impact of climate change on fish processing in the region. Also, the opportunity to use fish waste to increase profitability of the local fish processing SMEs thanks to implementation of climate-friendly technologies such as the production of fertilisers and energy for their own needs is discussed.

Significance In Amazonia, deforestation increased by 25% year-on-year in the first half of 2020. The situation has led large institutional investors, corporations and foreign governments to press Brazil to change its environmental policy. Domestic companies, including the country’s largest banks, have also increased calls for more environmental protection. Impacts Climate change mitigation internationally will be severely affected by fires in Amazonia. Environmental neglect will increasingly erode Brazil’s diplomatic influence. Lack of a clear commitment to environmental conservation in the coming years will undermine efforts to boost the economy.

The Eu

The EU Climate and Energy Package highlights the potential contradictions between the climate change imperative of reducing GHGs emissions and the importance to maintain environmental integrity. While the package supports climate change mainstreaming, it remains to be seen to what extent it succeeds in achieving internal environmental integration between climate change mitigation and other environmentprotection objectives. Directive 2009/31/EC on the capture and geological storage of carbon dioxide (hereinafter the CCS Directive) offers a paradigmatic example of this potential conflict. One of the main regulatory challenges arising from the CCS Directive relates to finding the proper balance between the different interests involved and the not-fully-consistent objectives of environmental protection, climate change mitigation, and energy security. The present article will discuss this regulatory challenge and examine how the CCS Directive’s regulatory framework for CCS permits a combination of the various interests at stake and the giving of proper weight to concerns about environmental protection. The role that the precautionary principle in conjunction with the proportionality principle may have in balancing climate change mitigation and environment-protection interests will be considered.
