Objective

Analyze how the Brazilian and Argentine states, during the Bolsonaro and Milei governments, have attacked academic freedom with regard to scientific development on the climate emergency.

Expected results

A mapping of cases of violations of academic freedom and scientific development with a thematic focus on tackling the climate crisis by the Bolsonaro (Brazil) and Milei (Argentina) governments.

A comparative analysis of the main common strategies used by these two states to undermine academic freedom and scientific development, leading to the democratic weakening of these two political regimes.

The identification of possible ways and mechanisms to strengthen academic freedom and scientific development in these two countries, based on the suggestion of guidelines and policies to be adopted by the current governments, as well as strategies for action by human rights activists and organizations defending academic freedom in Latin America.
