Some of the greatest experts in International Relations from Brazil and abroad are featured in the fourth issue, including Professors Hussein Kalout and Feliciano de Sá Guimarães, Editors-in-Chief of CEBRI-Journal and authors of the policy paper Brazil Between the U.S. and China: Protecting Itself to Survive; Jeffrey Sachs, University Professor and Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, in an exclusive interview that addresses Brazil's opportunities in the environmental agenda; former Minister of Foreign Affairs Celso Lafer contributes with his acceptance speech for the title of Doctor honoris causa awarded by the Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), which highlights how valuable knowledge is in public policy decision-making.
All the experts who participated in this issue of CEBRI-Journal point to Brazil's competitive advantage in spearheading the climate agenda. "The theme chosen for the fourth issue is highly symbolic in 2022, the same year in which we celebrate: our independence bicentennial; the 30th anniversary of Rio-92; and the 50th anniversary of Brazilian diplomacy in the environmental field," recalls Fernanda Cimini, the guest Editor-in-Chief for this issue, who is Professor at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) and Visiting scholar at Columbia University.
This issue also features articles, reviews, and interviews with other renowned experts such as Rubens Ricupero, Minister of Environment (1993-1994), and diplomat Eugênio V. Garcia. According to Garcia, the binomial "technological and sustainable" based on a green, digital economy should be one factor dominating the environmental agenda. Researcher Karin Costa Vazquez addresses the speeding up of public policies in light of the 2030 Agenda; Brazil's repositioning given the tremendous global transformations, considering the shift of the geopolitical axis from the West to Asia, the technological-digital revolution, and the energy transition; and the recovery of Brazil's international protagonism.
Mozambique's Minister of Economy and Finance, Ernesto Max Elias Tonela, who also gave CEBRI-Journal an interview, calls attention to the prominent position his country occupies in natural gas production, having its third largest reserve in the world. Tonela highlights other renewable assets that can drive the energy transition in the Southern African region. Today, Mozambique faces the great challenge of the Cabo Delgado conflicts. The country has relied on the international community's support to implement projects ensuring that social and economic stability in the region will resume.
