Do global ao nacional: a gênese da governança e das políticas públicas sobre mudança do clima no Brasil (1992-2012)

Abstract

This study aims to identify how it was generated the paradigm of public policy on climate change in Brazil. To achieve this goal it is necessary an analytical course more relevant than was produced during this period, from the reality toward reality Global National. It is considered that such policies are based on two basic categories: globalization and governance. Studies of globalization discussed in this work and its environmental dimension, from the moment they have influenced the political agenda of national states, resulting in a contribution of the construction of contemporary governance, especially the concept of global governance climate, based on the intersection governance of global environmental issues that relate to the negative effects generated by climate change. Among the characteristics of this category are the presence of new actors, new issues and new correlation of forces, which requires a reorientation of national states, to the understanding and recognition of new patterns, including informal, not captured by government institutions or that is, a system of governance required by the new reality impacted by globalization, which poses challenges to the established order, as the issue of climate change, evidenced in the establishment of the Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol of the United Nations. We conclude by showing how this paradigm has influenced the construction of national and subnational climate change in Brazil.
