Governança ambiental global: as ações paradiplomáticas climáticas do Estado do Espírito Santo

Abstract

Humanity is experiencing a climate crisis and the effects of climate change do not respect borders. Several international agreements to face the climate crisis were signed in multilateral forums, but the challenge still persists. The United Nations (UN) recognizes the need for broad global efforts to resolve the climate crisis. If the climate problem is complex and cross-border, it is essential that different international actors work together in the search for a solution to the common global climate problem. Thus, this work aims to demonstrate the performance of the subnational actor - State of Espírito Santo in the context of coping with climate change. In this bias, as a research question: is the role of the State of Espírito Santo legitimate in the context of facing the problems arising from climate change? To answer this question, the hypothetical-deductive method of approach was used, since it assumes that the phenomenon of paradiplomacy and global governance legitimize the role of the State of Espírito Santo in actions to face climate problems. To make the scope of this study possible, documentary and bibliographic research were used as procedural techniques.
