As the October presidential election approaches in Brazil, concerns regarding the respect for democratic norms, the future of the Amazon, and the deterioration of human rights —among other issues — have been growing in Brazil. Bolsonaro’s reelection or loss will directly affect the lives of Brazilians, but also influence the political future of other countries in the region. This report focuses on four crucial themes and sub-themes related to the current political, social, environmental, and economic crisis that the country is facing, which must receive attention in this election year.
Democracy & Human Rights
Amazon, Environment & Climate Change
Socio-economic Issues & Challenges
The Role of Social Movements
