Political Barriers to Decarbonization in Brazil: The Persistence of Neoliberalism

After four years of a neoliberal government that dismantled environmental regulations in Brazil, the country is once again transitioning toward a state-led model of development. But entrenched domestic interests may thwart a more sustainable path.

Since Brazil’s redemocratization in 1989, the country has oscillated between neoliberal and more interventionist development models, the latter championed by the governments of the Workers’ Party. Now, during Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s third presidency, the government has initiated a state-led program of “neoindustrialization” aimed at advancing decarbonization efforts. Even though Brazil has several advantages in the transition to a green economy, such as its clean energy matrix and abundance of natural resources, the success of this transition depends on overcoming barriers imposed by two important domestic constituencies: agribusiness producers and impoverished citizens that rely on extractive activities, particularly in the Amazon region. Those groups perceive environmental policies as a threat to their economic interest and livelihoods, respectively, posing significant challenges to the government’s sustainable development efforts. The political barriers to decarbonization in Brazil provide a compelling case study of the challenges that progressive governments in Latin America face when attempting to pursue policy directions that run counter to the entrenched interests of powerful economic groups. Brazil’s circumstances also underscore the importance of implementing policies that provide alternatives and compensation to the poorest citizens to keep the forest standing.

For the past three and a half decades, Brazil has alternated between neoliberal and state-led developmental models. A significant contrast between these frameworks lies in the role played by the Brazilian Development Bank, commonly referred to as the BNDES. Neoliberal administrations typically have constrained the BNDES’s scope, restricted the amount of subsidized credit it extends, and at times redirected its resources toward downsizing the public sector and facilitating the privatization of state-owned enterprises. By contrast, when the Workers’ Party has been in power, the BNDES has occupied a central position in the Brazilian economy. Under these administrations, the bank has financed development initiatives to address regional inequalities, enhanced access to credit for small and medium-sized enterprises, and funded industrial policies and the global expansion of Brazilian multinational corporations. Consequently, the breadth of BNDES’s operations often serves as a barometer of the policy priorities set by Brazilian administrations.

Now, under Lula’s third administration, the BNDES once again exemplifies the government’s commitment to advancing industrial policies, this time with a specific focus on promoting the country’s green transition. Consistent with this strategic orientation, the bank has announced a program of neoindustrialization intended to reinforce decarbonization initiatives within the Brazilian economy. The BNDES also oversees the management of the Climate Fund (Fundo Clima), which is expected to serve as a critical instrument within Brazil’s national climate change policy framework. This emphasis on environmental considerations is consistent with Lula’s two previous administrations. It reflects the government’s sense that Brazil’s abundant natural resources, clean energy infrastructure, rich mineral deposits, and ecologically significant biomes (such as the Amazon and Cerrado) leave the country uniquely positioned to capitalize on the global transition toward a green economy. It also reflects the political leadership’s decision to place the climate issue at the center of Brazil’s strategy for international engagement.

However, the success of Brazil’s transition to a decarbonized economy and its leadership on climate policies under Lula depend on overcoming at least two significant domestic barriers. The first is posed by an affluent, politically organized, and influential agribusiness sector, which reacts adversely to environmental regulation. The second stems from impoverished populations engaged in extractive activities, especially in the Amazon region, who perceive environmental concerns as a threat to their livelihoods.

T Minus 6 Days

6 days left!!

First of all, I’m not really a big fan of Grimes TBH ^_^;;

I’ve tried watching some of her other videos but most of it is pretty... boring? Normal even :)

BUT I picked this video for my Halloween posts because it’s basically the everything-plus-the-kitchen-sink of goth-industrial-neopunk-jgoth etc etc culture.  I mean really:  Black angel wings check, medical masks check, fake blood check, underground party check, latex check, fishnets check, gas masks check, faux military wear check, clown masks, preachers, dyed hair, neon, ripped fashion check check check I swear to god everything.... for gods sake she wears a fucking Versace sweater with vamp teeth.

But what cracks me up even harder is how posery it comes off.  Don’t get me wrong, I was probably one of the biggest goth-hot topic posers ever (I never claimed to be real goth, I just liked the fashion ;D ) so there’s something really nostalgic about this video.

I was also one of those people wearing black angel wings, fishnet stockings, handcuff jewelry going to dark underground clubs and feeling like I was one of the coolest fucking people ever ;D

Really, besides the song is actually really catchy (despite the fact I have almost no idea what she’s saying half the time) I think I love this because it knows EXACTLY what it wanted to be and went for it 200%.

In other words, I fucking love this video for being so hokey and over the top.  It’s nostalgic and fuck it all, I give it 10 hot topic stars of approval.  It’s fun, entertaining to watch, enjoyable to listen to and that’s all it needs to be.

John Hatfield (From Manchester, UK) was raised in Telford; one of Britain’s neo-industrial satellite towns. He travelled the country a lot, through a network of voluntary work on farms and eco projects, often painting on found materials. John has a BSc in Traditional Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture) and an MSc in Physiotherapy; he failed his art foundation course. He has worked with theatre and dance groups, and performed street art at the Edinburgh Fringe. This is his first gallery showing. He is a self-taught painter of people. His work is generally devoid of concepts other than that it is created spontaneously and incidentally. "Figuration and abstraction necessarily go hand-in-hand... Only in our modern age have they stupidly been separated"- Raymond Mason.

John Hatfield is exhibiting in CONTEMPORARY PAINTING at The Brick Lane Gallery from 13th - 23rd October. To find out more CONTEMPORARY PAINTING or to become a future exhibitor please contact info@thebricklangallery.com

Brazil's Haddad says fiscal balance measures to be sent to Congress by August

Brazil's Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said on Wednesday that measures aimed at ensuring fiscal balance in 2024 will be presented to Congress alongside next year's budget bill, which must be submitted to lawmakers by August.

During a press conference, Haddad also emphasized that environmental measures prepared by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's administration are ripe for presentation in the coming months, with the goal of moving towards a "green neoindustrialization."
