A convenção do clima e a legislação brasileira pertinente, com ênfase para a legislação ambiental no Amazonas

Abstract

This work has analyzed the performance of Brazil in relation to the fulfillment of the obligations defined by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (Article 4.1), from the point of view of the International Law, Internal Positive Law and especially the rules of Environmental Law. It compared the national legislation with the norms originated from the Convention and the activities implemented by the national organisms, including policies and environmental programs, trying to identify the convergent and conflicting points in order to indicate what has to be done, and to allow, where necessary, norms to accomplish the objective planned. This work aimed to show the Amazonas State commitments in relation to the Convention, and to offer suggestions to the administration of public policies directed to the fulfillment of aims determined by the Convention and undertaken by Brazil.
