Environmental Governance In Brazil: Towards The Sustainable Development Goals (Sdgs)?

Environmental governance is key to achieving the United Nations 2030 Agenda. This article explores Brazil's potential to address the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals. To do. so, it presents Brazil's advances and setbacks particularly after the 1988 Federal - Constitution focusing on: enyironmental licensing, native vegetation, fishing resources, water resources, protected areas and climate change. We conclude the article by pointing out that the setbacks imposed on the environmental governance system over the last decade and especially in the last year indicate that the country is moving in a direction opposite to that of the future envisaged by Agenda 2030.
