In an era of growing uncertainty, tensions are the new standard. As the European Union seeks to strengthen its strategic autonomy and advance the green and digital transitions, the need for stable, reliable, and like-minded partners has never been greater. Brazil, a nation whose economic potential, democratic values, and environmental ambitions align closely with Europe’s own, stands out as a natural ally.
The importance of the EU-Brazil relationship has never been clearer, as both sides share a vision of a rules-based international order and a sustainable economic cooperation. As the world’s fifth-largest country and a leading producer of renewable energy, Brazil offers vast opportunities for collaboration.
The upcoming COP30 in Belém will further spotlight Brazil’s global leadership on climate action. At the same time, the long-awaited EU-Mercosur Agreement presents a chance to deepen economic ties while embedding high environmental and social standards.
This supplement brings together policymakers and industry leaders from both regions to explore how renewed cooperation can unlock shared prosperity. Whether through decarbonisation, trade, or technology, one message resonates throughout these pages: Europe and Brazil are stronger together.
