Abstract

This article aims to critically analyze, from an environmental perspective, the possibility of approval and putting into effect the Free Trade Agreement signed between the European Union and MERCOSUR, in 2019. Bearing in mind that one of the commitments derived from the treaty concerns the fulfillment of the goals of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, regarding the reduction of the emission of greenhouse gases and considering the current political-environmental panorama in Brazil, the question is: What are the prognoses about the future of the Agreement MERCOSUR-European Union, considering the current environmental, legal and political scenario regarding the probable non-compliance with the sustainability goals assumed by Brazil in the Paris Agreement, with regard to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the forest devastation in the Legal Amazon? To guide the proposed research, the normative-descriptive and comparative analysis methods will be adopted, using the bibliographic research technique, of documentary nature.
