Abstract
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to the quality of life and human rights for present and future generations. Global protocols and agreements, built to deal with the consequences of climate change, as well as, in the Brazilian case, have not taken into account the urgency to fight the causes ranging from consumption patterns to the degradation of ecosystems resulting from the industrial model and such as deforestation, drought, rising sea levels, forced migrations, rising temperatures, impacting food production, food security, and general living and health conditions. The difficulty of resilience imposed on ecosystems may be the harbinger of the environmental collapse that humanity must face in the political sphere to promote the qualitative leap in the model of development and promotion of sustainability.
