Climate federalism and sustainable local urban development

Alexandre Fontenelle-Weber and Fernando Tulio Salva Rocha Franco

In the Brazilian federal system, the successful implementation of climate action at the frontline depends on coordination between actors at different levels. This involves setting climate goals, strengthening capacities and creating instruments that are aligned with the variety of regional, municipal and territorial contexts and that consider the impact of climate on historical situations of inequalities and socio-spatial vulnerabilities that are evident in the challenges of transportation, housing, waste management, among other issues.

This exercise requires bringing together different interlocutors. The proposal is to organize a debate and a workshop over a period of time, bringing together: (i) representatives of the federal government (cities and environment department), (ii) organizations that have worked on the theme of Brazilian climate federalism, such as FNP, ABM, GIZ, C40, ICLEI, WRI and the ZeroCem Institute itself, (iii) members of academia that have developed research on the theme, such as FGV, and (iv) socio-environmental movements with local perspectives.

NOTE OF CONDOLENCE

With deep sorrow, the Brazilian Institute of Architects – São Paulo Department (IABsp) mourns the passing of architect and landscape architect Kongjian Yu, a global leader in ecological urbanism, and the members of his team who accompanied him, tragically killed during the filming of a documentary. The institute is honored to have had him as a participant in the 14th São Paulo International Architecture Biennial, where his transformative vision strengthened the dialogue between global challenges and local realities. IABsp emphasizes that Yu's contribution, which transcends borders, will remain an inspiration for generations and expresses its condolences to China, to the families of all the deceased, to his friends, and to all those impacted by his genius and dedication.
