The Emergence of a Security Approach to Climate Change Governance: prospects and challenges to enhance environmental security in Brazil and the global south

Autores

Resumo

This article aims to explore the intersection between human security and climate change security agendas. It is inquired in which ways a climate change security approach impairs multilateral official channels aimed to enhance the global south demands, especially regarding the sustainable development imperatives. Further, it is investigated how the radicalization of the climate change action with a special focus at the Amazon, may oppose a human-rights-based approach enhanced at the UN 2030 Agenda.
