Green policies
Green policies put the environment, sustainability and social justice at the center of decision-making. In this category, we deal with topics that connect ecology, economy and politics – from climate policies and energy transition, to the protection of natural resources and the participation of citizens in decision-making.
Through texts, analyzes and examples of good practice, we explore how sustainable policies can contribute to a healthier society, a fairer economy and the preservation of the planet for future generations.
