Dear Mr. Arthur Lira,

Dear Mr. Rodrigo Pacheco,

 

We, members of the Danish Parliament, would like to express our deep concern towards the possibility of the approval of the legislative proposals referring to the following themes: mining on indigenous lands (Bill No. 191/2020, proposed by the House of Representatives); environmental licensing (Bill No. 3729/2004 and addendums, currently in the House of Representatives, and Senate Bill No. 168/2018); and land tenure regularization (Bill No. 2633/2020 in the House of Representatives, and Bill No. 510/2021 in the Federal Senate).

 

We manifest our concern about the approval of these matters. They can produce simultaneous fronts of negative acts. Increasing deforestation and violence against traditional communities, worsening socio-environmental conditions and endangers our future relations (joint missions, business, investments, trade, cooperation), as we are committed to align with the Paris Climate Agreement, the UN Goals for sustainable development and the respect for Human Rights.

 

The world is in a climate crisis that needs action from civil society as well as politicians. We need to stand together to combat the climate crisis in order to create a better world. We would like to consider Brazil our partner in a joint effort for a better world. A world that protects human rights, respects biodiversity, the climate, and supports thriving societies. More deforestation, land grabbing and environmental crimes at the expense of human rights will not accomplish this.

 

Yours sincerely,
