Racismo ambiental e acesso à justiça pela via dos direitos uma reflexão sobre o desastre ambiental em Brumadinho e os desafios para a concretização da Agenda 2030

Abstract

The environmental disaster that occurred in Brumadinho in January 2019, with the rupture of Dam 1 of the Córrego do Feijão Mine of Vale S.A, is a typical case of Environmental Racism, a concept that includes the unequal treatment of the burden of environmental damage from development. Dealing with the theme of Environmental Racism, in the context of the disaster that occurred in Brumadinho, it is important to address the modern concept of Access to Justice through the Rights, dear to the Brazilian context, since it presupposes the full and equal participation of all social groups, including minority and marginalized social groups. This article, therefore, aims to relate the environmental disaster that occurred with the concepts of Environmental Racism and Access to Justice through the Rights.
