Às margens de uma cidade que já sediou marcos históricos do ambientalismo global, o Rio de Janeiro inaugura sua primeira Semana Natureza & Clima, de 1º a 6 de junho, com o olhar voltado para as nações mais vulneráveis do planeta. Inspirada no modelo de Nova York, mas enraizada nas urgências do Sul Global — bloco de cerca de 150 países unidos por desafios econômicos comuns —, a iniciativa busca ampliar a voz daqueles que mais sofrem as consequências das mudanças climáticas e menos influenciam as decisões que as determinam. É, em essência, uma tentativa de transformar legado em liderança.

Brazil reasserts soft power influence within Global South coalition by hosting climate discussions parallel to NYC's framework. This represents attempt to shift environmental agenda-setting from traditional Western institutions toward developing nation perspectives, potentially strengthening South-South cooperation on climate policy.
Echoes Brazil's 1992 Rio Earth Summit (ECO 92) leadership role, now repositioning as voice for Global South rather than bridge between North-South interests.
