International Cooperation for the Environment, Science and Technology, North-South AssymetriesAbstract
This paper discusses two central elements in international cooperation for the environment: the role played by science in the legitimation of the proposed solutions to global environmental problems and the duality of interests between donors and recipients of aid. To support the analysis, we present a project of environmental cooperation developed in Brazil and funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF): a hydrogen fueled bus. The proposed analysis aims to situate this project within the scientific asymmetries between North and South, from an understanding that these asymmetries play a crucial political role in international negotiations for the environment.
