amor conference process book
DESCRIPTION
My Partner, Amalia Fredericksen, and I researched environmental issues currently taking place in Brazil and designed a conference to combat these issues. Deforestation is currently plaguing the country due to overconsumption and the demand for ethanol. AMOR is a conference structured to recognize these threats to the beauty of Brazil's ecosystem and rekindle the love of this country within its citizens and provide an opportunity for a brighter future.TRANSCRIPT
The economic condition of the whole country is fully dependent on it’s natural resources.
Hydroelectric power plants produce over 90% of the electrical energy consumed.
Because of invasive species, brazil is losing a lot of its native plants and animals.
Since 1970, 600,000 square kilometers of the amazon rainforest have been lost through deforestation.
Cattle grazing, colonization, agriculture, infrastructure expansion, and logging are contributing to loss of natural resources.
Cleared land is 5-10 times more profitable than forested land, thus an increase of deforestation for profit is a problem.
In Feb 2010, Lapola estimated that expansion of sugarcane and soybean biofuel plantations through 2020 would replace land.
Brazil is the 5th largest country in the world.
The GDP value represents 3.93% of the world economy.
Economic growth has helped the poorer outskirts of the country, but the separation between classes is high in the cities.
Ethanol production raises concerns regarding water overuse and pollution, soil erosion, and contamination by excessive use of fertilizers.
Pressures to produce energy have resulted in poor working conditions.
Because of excessive trash, public health problems like dengue fever are spread rapidly.
The manual harvesting of sugarcane has been associated with hardship and poor working conditions.
As a result of mechanization the workload per worker has more than doubled since the 1980s.
It would require financial resources in order to cut logging, so the country will not halt the logging business.
Brazil consumes 40 to 50 tons of cocaine annually.
High demand in the economy is resulting in a trade deficient and widening Brazil’s account deficit.
Brazil is the largest ethanol exporter in the world, holding over 90% of the global export market.
Brazil is the 10th largest energy consumer in the world and the largest in South America.
More than 25,000 Brazilians are subject to slave labor in the country.
Those living in the rural communities face a lack of proper education—leading to illiteracy,—healthcare, infrastructure, and basic needs.
Political class in conflict and denial about implementing sustainable waste management solutions
The government resettled many family farms, which employ about 74% of agricultural workers.
Some environmentalists have expressed fears that the marketplace will convert crops to fuel for the rich, while the poor starve.
Land ownership concentration was reported to be high even in areas where family farms are settled.
With extraordinary speed, china has become Brazil's most important economic partner (mainly iron ore, soya beans and crude oil).
A reform of the world market system would be needed if deforestation in the country is to be halted.
According to the world bank, in 2011 the real interest rate in Brazil rose to 34.5%, nearly three times that of Peru, the second-highest in the region.
Social and economic conditions of the huge population of poor people in Brazil is the main concern but the government spends money irresponsibly.
A recently proposed constitutional amendment would prevent state prosecutors from investigating politicians.
As stated in Brazilian Constitution, clearing land for crops or fields is considered an ‘effective use’ of land and is the beginning towards land ownership.
Due to illegal trafficking, the Brazilian Blue Macaw is now endangered.
Without all-encompassing laws for waste management, Brazil regulates dangerous materials but has inadequate funding to do so.
2012 the administration implemented a somewhat more expansionary monetary policy that has failed to stimulate much growth
It is not an easy border to patrol, much of it is porous jungle or river.
Poor enforcement of labor laws lead to dangerous and low-paying hardships in manual sugarcane harvesting.
Brazilian families are giving 23% of their incomes to service debt.
Brazil implements a regressive tax system that which burdens the poor.
Quicker inflation, increased family indebtedness, and a drop in consumer and business sentiment have contributed to poor economic growth.
The government’s poor decision to spend millions on elaborate stadiums for the upcoming sporting events negatively affect health care services.
Because the Brazilian Constitution approves the clearing of crops as an “effective use” of land, deforestation continues to be a serious problem.
According to the 2007 Brazilian national resource, the white workers had an average monthly income almost twice that of blacks or browns (pardos).
The cost of living in Brazil is similar to that of 1st world countries, but their income is a quarter—thus tensions in the cities are high.
Enforcement of labor laws is weak.
Job security is at an all-time low and workers can be fired without notice.
Brazil is often under pressure to produce international ethanol and its land suffers for it.
Brazil is also considered the world's third largest producer of Genetically Modified (GM) crops.
The water scarcity is due to the super exploitation and misuse (mostly because of heavy pollution) of surface water resources.
Due to high population, areas are in danger of being contaminated by pesticides and fertilizers, sewage, industrial residues and toxic products in the soil.
Exporting ethanol to Europe has increased in the last decade—increasing the workload.
Unemployment is at historic lows and income inequality has declined for each of the last 14 years, due to land ownership concentration.
Unemployment rate jumped to 6% in June from 5.8% in May, this causes more people search for jobs in the labor force.
Economic incentive, womens changing role, + the high cost of education has caused a rapid fertility decline, + lowing population growth rate since the 1960s.
