Vol. 15 No. 3 (2024): Sustainability in Debate / Sustentabilidade em Debate
In this last edition of 2024, Sustainability in Debate highlights critical intersections of environmental sustainability, governance, and societal adaptation. Capri and Baptista critique Bolivia’s neo-extractivist policies, balancing social gains with environmental conflicts, while Ronquim et al. address sugarcane expansion in São Paulo and its ecological trade-offs. Food systems emerge as a central theme, with Triches et al., Strasburg, and Wolstenholme et al. exploring the environmental impacts of meat consumption and dietary shifts in Brazil, Uruguay, and the UK. Resilience in agriculture is highlighted by Sousa et al., who document agroecological practices in Brazil’s Cerrado-Caatinga ecotone, and Pauletto et al., who analyse agroforestry adoption in Pará. The edition also addresses human and institutional responses to crises, including Correia’s study on drought-induced migration in Brazil, Soma’s examination of artisanal gold mining in Burkina Faso, and Bernal et al.'s use of social cartography to map vulnerabilities in Sergipe. Concluding the edition, Sanches proposes enhancements to Oran Young’s model of international governance, addressing state capacities and vulnerabilities to global challenges.
