Abstract
This article approaches the changes in the Brazilian political and social landscape from Rio-92 to Rio-2012, focusing in how the Brazilian environmental movement went through a process of professionalization and specialization around forest issues, in disregard of urban and social issues. Because of that its capacity of promoting huge public demonstration in alliance with other social movements during Rio-2012 declined. Besides, the article wonders if the Rio 2012 will find room to push the public debate for green policies in a context of international economical crisis.
