PSB et al. v. Brazil

Four Brazilian political parties filed an action alleging that the government has failed to properly administer the Amazon Fund, a mechanism created to combat deforestation in the Amazon. The parties allege that by disbanding the fund’s technical committee responsible for calculating deforestation and disbanding the fund’s governance body, the government has failed its constitutional duty to preserve ecological processes and to protect the natural environment.

Status
In June 2020, the Supreme Court accepted the lawsuit and directed the government to provide information on, among others, how it has managed the fund and activities related to the fund that have been implemented or suspended
