PATRICIO, Raquel de Caria. Climate world governance and Brazilian environmental policy. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2011, n.29, pp.101-114. ISSN 1645-9199.

This paper analyzes the evolution of the environmental policy of Brazil since the 1970s until the present days, giving data and explaining the goals of the country in this matter. As the largest holder of the biological riches of the world, with much of the Amazon, asserting itself as one of the most promising agricultural powers, with a strong economy and steady growth, Brazil has since 1990 pursued a fierce and ambitious environmental policy, being the emerging economy that has been most concerned about the issue.

Keywords : Brazil; United Nations; environmental policy; climate changes.
