& ZHANG, 2011; CHEN et al., 2015), e no Brasil o projeto Produtor de Águas (ENGEL, PAGIOLA & WUNDER, 2008; GUEDES & SEEHUSEN, 2012; ZANELLA et al., 2015). Os desafios institucionais, principalmente aqueles relacionados com a sociedade civil e questões de equidade, serão analisados, comparando as tendências relativas à norma da sustentabilidade (PADILHA & VERSCHOORE), que orienta a governança verde (JACOBI, 1999). Também serão analisadas a coordenação dos projetos, a relação com outras políticas e restrições orçamentárias e as adaptações às realidades locais (LIN & ZHEN, 2011; CHEN et al., 2015; ZANELLA et al., 2015). China e Brasil, como países em desenvolvimento, apesar das diferenças cultural e política (ARMIJO, 2007; WU, YONG & LIU, 2016; DUGGAN, 2015) compartilham muitos desafios e podem juntos contribuir para o futuro do “pensar globalmente e agir localmente”.
Resultado das pesquisas desenvolvidas no LABGEC (Laboratory of Social Dimensions of the Global Environmental Changes in the Global South), do Núcleo de Estudos e Pesquisas Ambientais da Universidade Estadual de Campinas/ UNICAMP, esta obra traz um panorama das dimensões sociais e políticas das mudanças climáticas, com foco no Brasil, na China e em Moçambique.
Antropoceno, acordos internacionais, políticas ambientais, desenvolvimento, ciência, movimento ambientalista, consumo e juventude nesses países são alguns dos temas abordados nos capítulos.
É uma leitura indispensável para ampliar a compreensão acerca de um dos maiores desafios do século XXI - as mudanças climáticas.
sustainable development. Brazil is considered a typical case of an economy stuck in the Middle-Income Trap (Canuto, 2014). The country’s difficulties to move up the value chain and its extreme income inequality have a negative impact on economic growth and pose a
serious threat for sustainable development (World Bank, 2004; Piketty, 2017). China, after decades of rising living standards and wealth generation, also has to deal with the increasing problem of inequality (Chen, 2013).
On this matter, China could learn from the Brazilian experience to avoid the threat of falling into the Middle-Income Trap (Woo, 2016). Recently,
both countries have been investing in domestic consumption as a way to prevent an economic slowdown (Dreger & Zhang, 2014). The present research carries out a comparative analysis on the policies adopted by each government to stimulate consumption and on their impacts on
growth and income distribution. The expansion of consumption not only brings economic consequences, but it is also associated with environmental, resource-related and social justice issues. It is imperative to establish a dialogue between China and Brazil on the different paths
for development, as both countries can learn from each other's experiences. The importance of learning and choosing the right paths cannot be overstated, as they will not only impact their own citizens, but will have global repercussions.
