O desmanche das políticas ambientais no Brasil sob a égide do governo da extrema direita: do ativismo ambiental a inércia governamental

Abstract

The motivation of this monograph was to address the main aspects related to Environmental policies, such as environmental inspection policies and the fight against deforestation and fires that occurred in the three previous governments, comparing them with those of the current government. The research shows what has happened with socio-environmental public policies over the years and what are the effects and consequences generated for the environment. In this context, the methodology used was an exploratory research with a qualitative approach, where the study for the theoretical basis had quantitative data. To achieve this purpose, a bibliographic review was carried out, presenting at first the concept and questions about the dismantling of public policies, secondly, austerity and the policies of the Environment, in a third moment the dismantling of environmental agencies, in a fourth moment , the environmental policies adopted by the Lula government, and finally, the policies adopted during the Bolsonaro government. The research was carried out from an analysis between the governments of former PT ex presidents Lula and Dilma/Temer in contrast with the government of the current president Jair Bolsonaro, where a drop in the budget linked to an increase in the number of fires and deforestation was verified during the Bolsonaro government, reaching alarming numbers. As a result, in addition to the lack of commitment to environmental policy agendas, the government has shown itself to be careless with environmental crises, causing great discontent among environmentalists. It comes to the conclusion that the environmental policies adopted during previous governments have lost their effectiveness in the face of the current government's lack of commitment: the numbers of fires and deforestation have risen again, and parallel to that, the number of inspectors has been falling year after year. Thus, the prospects under the Environment and the Bolsonaro government are increasingly worrying.
