Registrations are open and people interested in participating must fill out the online form, available at EducaEnfam.
The main objective of the educational action is to identify and analyze legal, scientific and practical aspects of the environmental legislation, especially in the Amazon context. Participants will discuss the application of the theme in the Constitution, in the National Environmental Policy Law and the effective protection of the Amazon biome.
The course reinforces the commitment of Enfam on promoting judicial practices sensitive to the Amazon context, aligned with consolidated case law, constitutional principles and national sustainability guidelines, conferring more technical and institutional robustness to the Brazilian Judiciary.

The thematic tables will address: The role of the Judiciary in socio-environmental and climate protection; Legal policy for the appropriate treatment of socio environmental conflicts, restorative justice and the context of the Legal Amazon; Challenges of socio-environmental jurisdiction in the Legal Amazon - limits and possibilities of environmental and climate justice -; Collision of fundamental rights: the balance between economic development and environmental preservation; Commitments of Justice with the Amazonian biome: from judicial decision to environmental and climate effectiveness; and Self-compounding methods in complex socio ecological conflicts.
