The Escazú Momentum: From Vision to Victory in Environmental Protection and Democracy

  Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) Campus Maracanã

Join a groundbreaking transnational dialogue that aims to help foster environmental democracy across Latin America and the Caribbean.
This pivotal event brings together regional leaders to accelerate cooperation around the Escazú Agreement’s approval and explore game-changing regional partnerships that could finally secure Brazil’s ratification of this landmark document.
Why does this matter? The Escazú Agreement is Latin America’s first binding treaty with groundbreaking provisions that guarantee safe conditions for environmental defenders – those brave individuals, groups, and organizations fighting for our planet’s future. It ensures investigations and accountability when these heroes face attacks, threats, or intimidation.
What makes this event unmissable:
Be among the first to witness the launch of an exclusive policy brief by Ciudadanía Inteligente – a game-changing analysis of Principle 10’s implementation across LAC. This isn’t just another report; it’s a strategic roadmap featuring actionable recommendations for both countries still on the sidelines and those already leading the charge.
Dive deep into cutting-edge insights and solutions as we tackle the most pressing challenges in environmental and climate governance. For Brazil, this represents a unique opportunity to strengthen its position at the forefront of regional environmental leadership on the way to COP30.
