Economic growth and increasing energy demand have been pushing the Brazilian government to expand energy generation. The construction of the Belo Monte Dam in the Amazon promises to solve the problem. Nevertheless, the dam has caused great environmental and social impact and harmed local people livelihood which has made them engage in the struggles for their rights. MAB is the representative body of this population and has put forward the new agenda of third-generation rights. Over the years, the movement has grown into a national organization but still has not been able to enforce policies to protect the rights of dam-affected people. Since the beginning of the construction of the dam in 2011, entire communities have been displaced while an enormous contingent of workers and immigrants have moved to the area. As a result, there has been an increase in social proble...

Biogas originates from the biological breakdown of organic materials. This process happens in landll sites when organic waste decomposes and produces what is known as landll gas. In compliance with the Brazilian National Policy on Solid Waste, in 2012 Jardim Gramacho landll, was closed, leaving a poll of 1,700 scavengers without their livelihood. De dump was not only important for those workers but also for approximately 12,000 inhabitants depending directly or indirectly from the waste picking activities. After de closure, a biogas plant was built on the site to collect and process methane originated in the old dump. This enterprise presented environmental improvements to the region. However, the residents who worked on the selection of recycling materials were left without...

Up to now not enough public policies were implemented to ensure livelihood improvements to the waste pickers and inhabitants of Jardim Gramacho district.
