Territorial Support

How is it worth?

For the socio-environmental repair of the North Coast of São Paulo

In this rich Atlantic Forest region, a hotspot for biodiversity conservation in the world, several urban centers and traditional communities are in the crosshairs of climate effects and disaster risks, social and gender inequality, and environmental racism and Brazilian climate injustice.

Climate Resilience

Climate Resilience

The FunBEA understands that environmental education in the climate crisis needs to be aligned with socio-environmental and climate justice in the country. Because extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and intense, and the vulnerable population is often the most affected. 

How can we transform a disastrous future (and present) for this important region?

Critical Environmental Education is one of the paths to social empowerment, strengthening and creating leaders, collectives and organizations that defend citizenship and the common good.
