O pacto ecológico europeu e seus efeitos sobre a comunidade internacional

Abstract

This work conducts a study the European Green Deal with a view to an exploratory and documentary research of the issue, using literature on the external influence of the European Union, the provisions in the bloc's founding treaties, and official documents to indicate some possible effects of the Pact on international relations. Inserted in the context of the fight against climate change and considered as an European strategy to a green reboot of the economy, it is addressed how this policy may influence the adoption of similar behaviors by other international actors. The concept of sustainable development has advanced through multilateralism to became de facto internalized by states as of today. From this point of view, in seeking to analyze the possible repercussions and effects of the European Union’s measure, the European Green Deal also serves as a tool to study the “normative power Europe”. This is done by looking at the concept of sustainable development, at the influence of the European Union on other initiatives of regional integration and on the parties with which it relates bilaterally. Lastly, the situation of Brazil and the Free Trade Agreement between Mercosur and the European Union is addressed.
