The impact of the Emerging Global Climate Crisis on the use of Green Technologies in Internacional Trade

Abstract

This paper seeks to demonstrate, through the analysis of legal, political and environmental understandings, the importance of using green technologies in international trade, given the finiteness of natural inputs, and the adoption of favorable public, environmental, social and tax incentive policies for countries and companies that adopt sustainable solutions, such as the distribution of green seals and certifications. Qualitative methodology and the deductive method are used, with bibliographical, jurisprudential and normative analysis - national and international legislation - with the aim of demonstrating how technological advances affect the environment positively or negatively. After analyzing the peculiar challenges faced by the countries of the Global South in the transition to the Green Economy and Brazil's position on encouraging sustainability in international trade, it concludes that there is a need for harmonization between the private right to free trade and the public constitutional right to a healthy environment, with the adoption of sustainable measures and the implementation of public tax, environmental and social policies, which have the ability to reflect positively on the search for global economic and ecological balance, in order to avoid the irreversible collapse that could be caused by the emerging global climate crisis.
