Exploring the importance of aromatic plants' extrafloral volatiles for pollinator attraction. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Aromatic plants occur in many plant lineages and have widespread ethnobiological significance. Yet, the ecological significance and evolutionary origins of aromatic volatile emissions remain uncertain. Aromatic emissions have been implicated in defensive interactions but may also have other important functions.

Brazil's Amazon Fund: A “Green Fix” between Offset Pressures and Deforestation Crisis

Antipode, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1686-1710, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Emissions trading and nature‐based solutions, particularly REDD+, have lent themselves to the critical literature on the “socioecological fix” in neoliberal capital accumulation and state regulation. Prone to reversals, land conflict, and leakage, these mechanisms displace the burden of carbon emissions reductions to global South countries ...

Hotspots in the grid: Avian sensitivity and vulnerability to collision risk from energy infrastructure interactions in Europe and North Africa

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 6, Page 1496-1512, June 2022., 2022
We identify the areas of Europe and North Africa that are most sensitive for the specific populations of birds for which sufficient GPS tracking data at high spatial resolution were available. We also map vulnerability hotspots where mitigation at existing EI should be prioritised to reduce collision risks.

Timing and magnitude of climate‐driven range shifts in transboundary fish stocks challenge their management

Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 7, Page 2312-2326, April 2022., 2022
We use model projections to explore the timing and intensity in the distribution of marine fish stocks that are shared across the world's Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ). Our findings suggest that many shared stocks’ distribution and catch are expected to change in most EEZs by 2030.

REDD+ and forest protection on indigenous lands in the Amazon

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 30, Issue 2, Page 207-219, July 2021., 2021
Abstract Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) was introduced by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as a mechanism to reverse the loss of forests and carbon stocks in developing countries. REDD+ operates on the basis of performance‐based payments.

Climate litigation to protect the Brazilian Amazon: Establishing a constitutional right to a stable climate

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 30, Issue 2, Page 197-206, July 2021., 2021
Abstract In recent years, climate cases to combat illegal deforestation in the Amazon have begun to be brought before Brazilian courts. We focus on a lawsuit filed by the Institute of Amazonian Studies against the Brazilian state. The lawsuit seeks not only an order to compel the federal government to comply with national climate law but also the ...

Eficiência energética na iluminação pública. Estudo de casos práticos. [PDF]

, 2014
O consumo de energia está na origem de 80% das emissões de gases com efeito de estufa na União Europeia (UE). Consequentemente, reduzir as emissões de gases com efeito de estufa implica um menor consumo de energia e uma maior utilização de energia limpa.
