Vol. 16 No. 2 (2025): Sustainability in Debate
In this second edition of 2025, governance and environmental policies are highlighted, with Lucena and Zakia analysing CONAMA Resolution No. 507/2024 on Caatinga forest management, and Silvino et al. examining governance narratives in Brazilian environmental arenas. Corporate and territorial sustainability is addressed in Kanda and Bandeira’s critique of Natura S.A.’s 2020–2023 sustainability reports, and in Santos and Lucas’ application of agrarian diagnostics and the MESMIS method in Pará, revealing low social and environmental indices but resilience in family labour and diversification. Social and environmental justice issues are also discussed: Polidoro and Oliveira propose the Housing Deficit Index (HDI), exposing regional, urban, and racial inequalities; Sentilles et al. examine the community response to the 2019 oil spill in Bahia; and Cazeiro et al. analyse the “necropolitics of the winds” in Pernambuco, highlighting mental health impacts from wind farms. The integration of knowledge, food, and livelihoods is explored by Oliveira et al., through climate dialogues in Novo Airão, and by Buôgo et al., who assess 23 sustainable diet recommendations. Finally, the links between nature, culture, and conservation emerge in Teles et al.’s study of sustainable tourism narratives on Instagram among Hispanic centennials, and in Gemim et al.’s documentation of 350 species in Ribeira Valley agroforests, emphasising food security and ethnoconservation.
