Justiça linguística e mediação intercultural na cooperação internacional : um estudo de caso sobre a governança climática nas Conferências das Partes (COP 26 e COP 30)

Abstract

The Conferences of the Parties (COPs) are decisive spaces for climate governance, yet language barriers hinder the participation of Global South countries and Indigenous communities. This study aimed to reflect on the impacts of linguistic justice, according to Rajagopalan (2013), and intercultural mediation at COP 26 and COP 30, identifying barriers and perspectives to strengthen climate governance. The research adopted a qualitative approach, with discursive analysis of texts, pacts, and specialized literature. The results indicate that genuine inclusion of languages and the work of LEA-NI mediators promote greater equity, transparency, and effective participation in negotiations.
