Cooperation between the European Union and Brazil on health and environmental is-sues

Abstract

In the article examines the cooperation between the European Union and Brazil in the fields of healthcare and environmen-tal protection, which represents a key aspect of their interac-tion, encompassing areas with a significant impact on socie-ty's well-being and the preservation of natural resources and ecosystems on the planet. This article explores the opportuni-ties and challenges of cooperation between the EU and Brazil in healthcare and environmental protection, with a focus on their shared strategic priorities. The author highlights an im-portant factor: the new government of Brazil, led by L. da Sil-va, raises the issue of the alignment of Brazil's policy with EU priorities and its commitment to post-pandemic development and sustainable green growth. The article covers both existing programs and initiatives and potential prospects for Brazilian-European cooperation, emphasizing how such collaboration can contribute to European support for ensuring a sustainable future for Brazil as a representative of the Global South. It is argued that for successful cooperation, the parties must focus on finding compromises and incentives to combat deforesta-tion, promote environmental security, and achieve post-pandemic sustainable development. The author underscores the need to deepen cooperation between Brazil and the EU through the use of multilateral platforms, including the revival of regular "EU-Brazil" summits to develop a common agenda and enhance mutual understanding.
