Research 2025
Brazil Forum UK is a space dedicated to reflecting on, debating, and proposing solutions to Brazil’s contemporary challenges. In partnership with IDEA, an institute specialised in public opinion, we annually conduct surveys that capture the pulse of Brazilian society on urgent and transformative issues.
In 2025, the research takes on new momentum through an unprecedented collaboration between IDEA and LACLIMA (Latin American Climate Lawyers Initiative For Mobilising Action). Together, we explore how the Brazilian population perceives issues related to sustainability, the climate crisis, and COP 30, an event that marks a crucial moment for the environmental agenda both in Brazil and globally.
