"There are already prompts to boost predatory activities from an environmental perspective. Media and society's awareness is completely focused on the spread of the pandemic and its outcomes".

Several studies show that as long as the Earth continues to warm up, there will be an increase in the emergence and intensity of disease. The Covid-19 may just be a sample of the future. No one could predict the outbreak, but the causes and impacts of climate change have been known for over 30 years. Different governments have acted urgently to prevent the worst of the coronavirus. It is clear then that the slow reaction to the climate crisis is not about capacity, but about political mobilization. In this article, the new CBC Project Coordinator, Alexandre Batista, presents a quick analysis about the impacts of the new pandemic on the climate agenda.

"If climate change intensifies existing natural processes, such as the fires in Australia, in February Brazil saw the other side of that coin.”

In this article, Alfredo Sirkis comments on the current geopolitical conflict between the United States and Iran, also analyzing the position established by the Brazilian government in relation to the confrontation of countries.

"The COPs always present some small collateral progress and are a moment of meeting, debate and reverberation of the climate issue. But on the central issue: significant reduction of emissions to take the planet off the 4.5 degrees trajectory (hell on earth) in which it is packed or how to finance decarbonization and adaptation, we are stuck" says Alfredo Sirkis, under analysis at COP 25.

"We only took the first step. The next step is to establish a dialogue with those who have not yet awakened or positioned themselves in relation to the climate", said Alfredo Sirkis.

It is possible to meet the needs of a growing world population while limiting environmental impacts, according to José Elida Veiga, senior professor at USP. In this article, the author evaluates the United Nations General Assembly.

The confrontation with donors like Germany and Norway, the increase of more than 273% of deforestation in the Amazon in July of this year, compared to the same month last year, the increase of invasions in the Ianomâmi land with the pollution of its rivers with Mercury; the sticking at IMPE (Brazil's satellite image monitoring institute) to “break the thermometer”, the foolish eager to hide the fever, are crazy episodes.

“Tackling climate changes cannot be the exclusive responsibility of governments, almost all of which are indebted and running high deficits”, affirms Alfredo Sirkis in this article.

This instigating article by Jeff Tollefson addresses a “race” between an ongoing decarbonisation, energy transition and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. He warns of how fate depends on the aftermath of this dramatic "competition."

In this article, Cassia Moraes makes a parallel between the dangers of climate change for the survival in the planet and the famous series Game of Thrones.
