During the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in 1992, also known as the 'Earth Summit', the concept of sustainable development was established, aiming to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This concept was widely discussed at the Conference, which culminated in the approval of Agenda 21, a comprehensive action plan proposing measures to be globally adopted to promote sustainable development. Imagine that, in the current context, a group of Geography and Biology students is analyzing the environmental impacts resulting from the non-compliance with the goals set in Agenda 21 for biodiversity conservation. Based on their interdisciplinary knowledge, identify and explain a concrete example of a negative impact that could be observed in a section of tropical forest if the guidelines of Agenda 21 were not effectively implemented.a.
Deforestation of tropical forest areas and the consequent loss of biodiversity are issues that Agenda 21 does not address, leaving the issue of environmental conservation to other subsequent conventions.
b.
The effective implementation of Agenda 21 goals would lead to an increase in biodiversity in tropical forest areas, without considering the negative impacts of other human activities, such as pollution.
c.
The non-compliance with the goals of Agenda 21 would not have a significant impact on biodiversity conservation, as protected areas and international agreements already ensure species preservation.
d.
Cases of deforestation in tropical forest areas are independent of the compliance with Agenda 21 goals, being more influenced by local economic and political issues.
e.
A concrete example of a negative impact resulting from the non-compliance with the goals of Agenda 21 for biodiversity conservation could be the observation of a sharp reduction in populations of endemic species, i.e., those found only in that region, evidenced by monitoring studies showing the decrease in the occurrence of these species in areas that have recently been deforested.

In a global scenario of concern about climate change and the search for sustainable solutions, renewable energies stand out as an alternative to conventional energy sources, such as fossil fuels. Considering this perspective, (1) explain what renewable energies are and cite three examples of energy sources that fall into this category. (2) Discuss how the adoption of renewable energies can contribute to reducing the economic and socio-environmental impacts resulting from the exploitation of natural resources, paying special attention to local practices and commitment to sustainability. (3) Present arguments demonstrating the importance of renewable energy matrices in the current context and how they can be implemented at different analysis scales.

In our Federative Unit, which is the state where we live, there are different groups of people who came from various places, bringing their cultures and histories. Some of these people are called indigenous because they are descendants of the first inhabitants of our country, and others are of African, European, Asian, among other origins. This mix of cultures is one of the things that makes the place where we live so special. Thinking about this and what you have learned about the people who make up the population of our region, write about how the coexistence among these different ethnic groups can influence the formation of our cities, local customs, and relationships between people. In your text, explain why it is important to value this diversity and how it can help build a fairer and more equal place for everyone.

Eastern Europe is a region marked by a complex intersection of ethnic, cultural, and religious factors that often manifest in territorial disputes and sometimes armed conflicts. Historian Timothy Snyder, in his book 'Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin,' reinforces the idea that 'Eastern Europe is a land of uncertain borders, where changes in international power often meant changes in the identities of those living in these borders.' Based on this perspective, analyze and discuss: 1) How can transformations in political and international power trigger significant changes in the ethnic and cultural dynamics of Eastern Europe and, consequently, conflicts of identity and territory? 2) Evaluate how historical tensions and legacies of totalitarian regimes, such as those of Hitler and Stalin, continue to influence interethnic relations and geopolitical stability in the region.
