Today, I attended a lecture by Mr. Jan-Gustav Strandenaes at the SDG Academy and wanted to remind everyone about the upcoming UN #HLPF2024 side event organized by #INTOSAI, which you can participate in online. Mr. Strandenaes emphasized that strong and active governance structures are essential for addressing climate, environmental, and sustainability issues. This is precisely where Supreme Audit Institutions (#SAIs) play a crucial role in holding governments accountable, as exemplified by initiatives like #Climatescanner. Transparency and accountability are key, and this is also the core message of #SAI20: SAIs matter and are central to driving change!

#CfP: Social Media Communication and Right-Wing Populisms in Latin America and Beyond Conference: 10-11 December 2024 (in person and online) CfP deadline: 31 July 2024 Full details https://lnkd.in/dGSWiMUu Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, Nayib Bukele in El Salvador and Javier Milei in Argentina are just a few paradigmatic cases which represent, to different degrees, the rise of populism, the advances of right-wing radicalism and the resurgence of extreme nationalism in Latin America in the last decade. We use the term "right-wing populism" to refer, as some Latin Americanists have done, to the ideological conservative elements and national-populist influences, namely the construction of political antagonisms, alongside the explicit praise and support of local capitalist systems. The cohesive element at the regional level is the post-colonial historical situation: Latin America's colonial roots engendered a profoundly hierarchical society whose dominant classes have felt threatened by a series of recent rights advances on the part of minoritised groups, responding in reactionary terms. It is also common for these leaders to advocate for greater military investment, as well as speak nostalgically of the patriarchal order and hardline security approaches that authoritarian regimes enacted in the past. However, beyond these sociological aspects, the emergence of right-wing populist leaders as representatives of a mass phenomenon calls for in-depth studies of new forms of communication. How can a political project that defends the interests of a privileged few, namely white men, become a phenomenon that is radically defended by large sectors of the population? How does the study of the social media communication that is used by right-wing populisms inform us about broad processes of socio-political polarisation? This conference will discuss how, through social media communication, Latin American right-wing populisms are configuring their own discourses, with regional particularities as well as global influences. This is a timely theme as Latin America’s right-wing populisms, which are under-researched compared to their Anglo-European equivalents, have expanded throughout the region and have built global connections. Over 2 days, the conference will place a particular focus on how social media communication exacerbates political polarisation, radicalisation, and violent political cultures through the study of the uses that political influencers and far-right populist sympathisers make of these media. While focused on Latin America, we also invite scholars and practitioners who work on processes of radicalisation in other parts of the world to submit their papers in order to enable discussions about common and divergent elements as well as connections with other expressions of right-wing populisms.

An important conversation with Luiz Paulo Souza of VEJA about what the emerging academic research says about the effectiveness of deplatforming. Spoiler: Deplatforming can work. It disrupts attention and visibility while confronting networks of message dissemination online. #socialmedia #digitalmedia #mediaplatforms #platformgovernance #democracy #politics

I am thrilled to share that my paper, "Climate Change Risk in Brazil," has been accepted for presentation at the XXIV Brazilian Finance Meeting, organized by Sociedade Brasileira de Finanças (Brazilian Finance Society) - SBFin. This paper is still a work in progress, with much left to be done. In essence, I estimate the risk of long-term temperature shifts on assets and quantify the price associated with this risk. My approach is based on a theoretical model that integrates the interaction between global warming and economic growth, while also accounting for the (endogenous) risks of climate-induced damages. My findings suggest that climate change risk is already incorporated into asset prices, providing capital markets with valuable insights into the cost of climate change. I am deeply honored to have the opportunity to share my research with such esteemed colleagues and industry experts. I eagerly anticipate the upcoming conference and the chance to connect with fellow researchers and professionals in the field. If you plan to attend, I would love to connect and discuss our shared interests!

FLOODS IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL: LULA´S MINISTER FOR RACIAL EQUALITY ANIELLE FRANCO ASKS FOR VOTES The floods in the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, in Southern Brazil, hit almost the whole state, with 281.748 Km2 - almost the size of Italy - and 11,29 million inhabitants. This is the biggest climatic tragedy in the state since 1941. A whole year's volume of water poured down the State in a few days, overloading the Guaiba Lake. Several cities were hardly affected or razed down to earth level. Almost 70 thousand people were affected and 100 died. Amid this tragedy, the Minister for Racial Equality Anielle Franco said this all happened because the State´s inhabitants wouldn´t have voted right, i.e., in Lula and his PT-Labors Party. In the last national elections, Jair Bolsonaro won most of the votes. In a post in 'X', she mocked the situation and urged southern citizens to update their electoral certificates for the next 2024 elections. Then said that provisions should be distributed first to gipsies and Afro-descendants - 85% of the State population has European origin and only 5% has African origins. In a previous climatic crisis, Franco said that black people were always the most affected due to "climatic racism", i.e., because people were Afro-descendants they lived in poor conditions and so they suffered more in such conditions. The theory went down the drain now, with millions of white people being affected by the floods. The Brazilian federal government under Lula da Silva is being criticized for the delay in the response to the tragedy. So far citizens have organized a net of solidarity on providing water, supplies and rescue with all means available. Only after one week, the first units of Brazilian Army troops, Marines and Navy arrived in the cities to offer rescue and protection. #RSfloods2024 #climaticracism #aniellefranco #brazilseeksforhelp #climaticchanges #valour https://lnkd.in/dSktTaFk

New academic productions related to ex-ante digital markets regulation in Brazil I would like to share two recent works that I produced related to the debate of ex-ante digital markets regulation in Brazil. 1 - Yesterday, In Conversation With IPR and Competition Law released a podcast episode with my participation discussing the topic of "Digital Markets Regulation in Brazil and Latin America". We explored the laws, challenges, and the path forward in shaping the future of digital economies. I thank you Aditya Trivedi and Ritika Ghosh for the invitation and the pleasant conversation that we had. I hope everyone enjoys it! https://lnkd.in/eq2dYbsm 2 - Today, the Kluwer Competition Law Blog published my short piece ("Some Remarks on the Comments Submitted to the Brazilian Public Consultation on Economic and Competitive Aspects of Digital Platforms held by the Ministry of Finance") related to an analysis of a part of the comments submitted to the latest Brazilian Public Consultation (Economic and Competitive Aspects of Digital Platforms) held by the Brazilian Ministry of Finance. I highlighted that this Consultation was made by the current Brazilian administration and, besides that, it was the first time that Cade expressed its opinion related to an ex-ante digital markets regulation in Brazil - being favorable to it, although not presenting the specific contents for this type of regulation. I thank you Alba Ribera Martínez for inviting me to write on this important topic. I invite you to read it and would be glad to discuss the topic with anyone! Please go check it out if interested! https://lnkd.in/er5jPPqX Brazil is increasing its own internal debate related to the adoption of an ex-ante digital markets regulation. Although the future of this type of regulation is uncertain yet, we will probably have future news on it soon. Stay tuned!

The U20 Summit of Mayors in São Paulo highlighted the critical role of cities in addressing global challenges and improving the well-being of families at the local level. By influencing the G20 agenda, these urban leaders are advocating for greater recognition and support of city-led initiatives that drive sustainable and inclusive urban development. As the world looks toward COP30 in Belem next year, the collaborative efforts of cities and national governments will be essential in achieving meaningful progress on climate action and urban resilience, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for families worldwide.

I would like to share an article that I published in 2020 on Contexto Internacional, an International Relations journal from Pontifícia Universidade Católica of Rio de Janeiro. In this article I analyze the writings of Adolfo Justo Bezerra de Menezes, a Brazilian diplomat who strove to improve the relations between Brazil and the Afro-Asian countries in a moment when Brazilian foreign policy was focused on the West. https://lnkd.in/eA5Ry2yx

https://lnkd.in/ddP_VT_c 4 Congresso Brasileiro de Internet in 🇧🇷 Brasilia 🇧🇷 earlier this month by ABRANET and Instituto de Tecnologia e Sociedade (ITS Rio). 💡  Technologies for social transformation: from fighting hunger to protecting the environment with Malu Gaspar (O Globo), Mariana Caetano (SALVA) , Edson Leite (Gastronomia Periférica), Denis Minev (Bemol), @Patricia Rosa (Pimp My Carroça), @Larissa Oliveira (Faça Parte), @Joel Rennó, Jr. (Horuss AI) & Gabriella Seiler (Instituto Serrapilheira). 💡 Internet regulation with Julio Wiziack (Folha de S.Paulo), Joao Brant (Digital Policies, Presidency of the Republic), Marcelo Bechara (Globo), Alessandro Molon (Aliança pela Internet Aberta) e @Lilian Cintra de Melo (Ministry of Justice). 💡 Technology and the financial sector: innovative cases and what lies ahead with Carol Elizabeth Conway, Nathalia Arcuri (Me Poupe!), Otávio Damaso (Central Bank of Brazil), Priscila Pinheiro Ribeiro Faro (Mercado Pago), Gilson Rodriguesígues (G10 Bank Participações) e Fabio Araujo (Central Bank of Brazil). 💡 What do we want from AI? with Carlos Affonso Souza (ITS Rio), Dora Kaufman (Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo), Victor Fernandes (CADE), Miriam Wimmer (Brazilian National Data Protection Authority), @Henrique de Oliveira Miguel (Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation). I shared the experience acquired and some lessons learned from the European perspective on the #AIAct (preparatory work, inspiring principles, key elements and the significant latest developments agreed by the co-legislators in the final stages of the negotiations). Very useful insights offered by the other co-panelists in the light of the Brazilian context and the ongoing debates on the Brazilian AI law pending in the Parliament. Very timely discussion! ⌛ ❓ Will there be a so-called ‘Brussels effect’ of the AI Act? ❓How should other countries in other parts of the world deal with AI governance domestically? ❓What factors should be taken into account when thinking about AI regulation? ❓How should different social and economic conditions (for instance is there a high degree of social inequality) or possibly different domestic legislation (for instance, is there a strong ex ante product safety approach) be accounted for? These questions will be asked again and again over the next months and years. I very much look forward to continuing nuanced and engaged discussions such as those in Brasilia. AI should truly benefit all, notably those who may need it most in terms of innovative service delivery and opportunity for growth. Thank you to Celina Mendes de Almeida Bottino, Carlos Affonso Souza and Carol Elizabeth Conway for inviting me and Julio Wiziack (Folha de S.Paulo) for the interview (behind paywall) https://lnkd.in/dnE3BCyc and

The intricate relation between voluntary sustainability standards and green trade policies... My research group at FGV and I have been devoted to understanding the effects of EU's sustainable trade policies in Brazil, with valuable support from excellent researchers. We are particularly intrigued about the impacts of binding regulations via private certifications. Bonsucro - a leading sugar supply chain certification - and the EU's biofuels regulations (RED and RED II) offer an ideal setting for analyzing such an intricate relation. The EU accredits Bonsucro to support verification of the bloc's renewable energy directive, establishing a "green lane" for access of sugar and ethanol in Europe. We wanted to understand if that interaction between public and private rule-makers (1) could impact Brazil's exports negatively (and potentially be a form of disguised protectionism) and (2) if it generated negative or positive socioeconomic spillovers. So far, we found that: 1. Bonsucro's standards in line with EU regulations overall increase Brazil's exports to the bloc along the sugar supply chain, but only in cities that traditionally exported the most to the EU. Cities that traditionally exported the least to the EU exported even less after units in the municipality got Bonsucro certified. 2. We found that Bonsucro's certification in line with EU laws did not have positive effects on the gender gap in rural Brazil and that it could lead to a reduction in the proportion of small and medium-sized rural properties. However, preliminary findings using Brazilian censuses indicate that the effect may be positive in a specific class of smallholders - family agriculture units. These results highlight the need for fine-tuning the connection between binding and voluntary policies to promote sustainable trade policies with positive socioeconomic spillovers. We have the pleasure of seeing two of our publications appearing at Inter-American Development Bank - INTAL's Revista Integración & Comercio and at Hinrich Foundation . Check out our working paper on the trade effects of Bonsucro-RED as well. Thanks to my co-authors Juliana Camargo, Yixian Sun, Eduardo Mello, Guilherme De Franco for their excellent work. Special thanks also to Magdalena Barafani, Gabriel Cantharino Granjo and RICARDO ROZEMBERG for their support and feedback along the way.
