When we consider the variables connected to international tensions, trade issues related to productivity and the capacity to innovate come to mind. However, topics such as food security and mineral resources increase the competition as environmental issues weigh on foreign trade, considering carbon neutrality as a key factor for business continuity.
In this scenario, the climate situation is also critical, a variable that influences international friction, given the change in consumption patterns that should be accentuated due to changes in the type of energy and fuel used, a fact that underpins the race for innovation and production with a lower environmental impact.
It is with concern that we must look at how international environmental priorities are addressed in the negotiation rounds so that mistakes that have caused inequality and, if repeated, could lead the world away from Sustainable Development can be avoided.
