O objetivo deste artigo é lançar luzes sobre as implicações da mudança climática para as organizações. Para fazer frente a esse debate, são explorados: o conceito de "inteligência ambiental" (IA); as estratégias por meio das quais as organizações fazem frente ao desafio da mudança climática; as oportunidades que explicam a adoção dessas estratégias; e o papel fornecido pela função produção para que tais estratégias possuam o efeito desejado. Por fim, tais conceitos são sistematizados, buscando-se uma integração dos modelos teóricos existentes, até então considerados de maneira estanque.The aim of this paper is to enlighten the implications of climate change for organizations. To deal with this subject, the follow issues are analyzed: concept of environmental intelligence; opportunities which justify the adoption of these strategies, and the main role performed by the production function to implement such strategies. Finally, concepts of prior theoretical models are taken into account.

The concentration of biodiesel industries in the central-west region of the country, and the large distances to deliver biodiesel in the northern Brazil make biodiesel prices non-competitive when compared to fossil diesel. The results also suggest that the PNPB is not succeeding in promoting the integration of family agriculture in the Tocantins state, especially due to the structural difficulty of the agricultural sector, as well as the technical and political shortcomings presented by the mechanism of incentives.

Other actors have also begun to develop their own initiatives in relation to public matters, and this also applies to the environmental agenda. In this context, this article aims to develop an approach to public sector initiatives aimed at the environment by examining the experiences of the Public Management and Citizenship program database and the recent activities of the Friends of the Amazon Network. The conclusion is that such an approach should consider at least three elements: Transversality - environmental impacts involve different areas of knowledge and governmental action; No Neutrality - understanding environmental impacts involves negotiation in the public arena; Governance - environmental issues require coordination and relationships between different actors.

The sun has an extremely important role in the existence of human beings, and Brazil has a privileged geographical position to explore sunlight. The union of these two factors favors the use of solar cells for converting solar energy into electricity by photovoltaic technology: it is a great alternative energy source, especially for being a clean one, causing less damage to the environment. This paper addresses the photovoltaic technology with a focus on hospitals, through case studies found in international literature, because hospitals, even running all important services to society, have a potential for pollution capable of causing damage to human health and the environment that is around them. It is estimated that the Brazilian oil reserves are sufficient for twenty-two years. This makes the search for alternative sources for power generation a necessity.

Os subprodutos biogás e lodo foram caracterizados em termos quantitativos (produção) e qualitativos (composição e poder calorífico) durante 12 meses de monitoramento. Foram estudados dois cenários de aproveitamento energético dos subprodutos: (i) uso prioritário do biogás para a secagem térmica do lodo e o excedente de biogás para geração de eletricidade em motor de combustão interna; e (ii) uso prioritário do biogás visando à geração de eletricidade e ao aproveitamento do calor dos gases de exaustão para a secagem térmica de lodo. Para a análise desses cenários, utilizou-se o software CHEMCAD® a fim de determinar as condições de queima do biogás em câmara de combustão e em motor de combustão interna, assim como na determinação dos balanços de massa e energia. O estudo analisou o potencial de aproveitamento dos subprodutos do tratamento como fonte de energia renovável para uso na própria ETE e para fornecimento a terceiros. No cenário 1, a geração de eletricidade é menor (atendendo 22,2% da demanda de energia da ETE), mas a secagem térmica possibilita maior redução no volume final de lodo a ser disposto ou a eliminação completa de disposição final se o lodo seco final (com 10% de umidade) for utilizado como combustível por terceiros. No cenário 2, a geração de eletricidade é capaz de suprir 57,6% da demanda de energia da ETE, todavia o calor contido nos gases de exaustão não é suficiente para a secagem de todo o lodo desaguado, configurando uma menor redução na quantidade de lodo a ser disposto (13,5 ou 24,9% de redução em massa, conforme a alternativa de remoção de umidade selecionada).

Para este fim, são estimados dois modelos econométricos: o modelo de efeitos fixos, segundo a metodologia desenvolvida por Deschênes e Greenstone (2007), e o modelo de preços hedônicos proposto por Mendelsohn et al. (1994). Ambos os modelos são estimados utilizando dados de painel para os municípios brasileiros no período de 1970-1995. Os resultados das simulações sugerem que o impacto das mudanças climáticas no setor agrícola brasileiro será relativamente modesto no médio prazo. Contudo, estes impactos tendem a tornar-se significativamente mais severos no longo prazo--------------------------This paper aims at estimating the effects of climate change on the Brazilian agriculture both in terms of agricultural profitability and land values. To accomplish this task, we estimate two econometric models: the fixed-effects model proposed by Deschênes and Greenstone (2007) and the hedonic model proposed by Mendelsohn et al. (1994). Both models are estimated for a panel of municipalities covering the period 1970-1995. Simulation results suggest that the overall impact of climate change will be quite modest for the Brazilian agriculture in the medium term, but these impacts are considerably more severe in the long term.

Other actors have also begun to develop their own initiatives in relation to public matters, and this also applies to the environmental agenda. In this context, this article aims to develop an approach to public sector initiatives aimed at the environment by examining the experiences of the Public Management and Citizenship program database and the recent activities of the Friends of the Amazon Network. The conclusion is that such an approach should consider at least three elements: Transversality - environmental impacts involve different areas of knowledge and governmental action; No Neutrality - understanding environmental impacts involves negotiation in the public arena; Governance - environmental issues require coordination and relationships between different actors.

The sun has an extremely important role in the existence of human beings, and Brazil has a privileged geographical position to explore sunlight. The union of these two factors favors the use of solar cells for converting solar energy into electricity by photovoltaic technology: it is a great alternative energy source, especially for being a clean one, causing less damage to the environment. This paper addresses the photovoltaic technology with a focus on hospitals, through case studies found in international literature, because hospitals, even running all important services to society, have a potential for pollution capable of causing damage to human health and the environment that is around them. It is estimated that the Brazilian oil reserves are sufficient for twenty-two years. This makes the search for alternative sources for power generation a necessity.

Os subprodutos biogás e lodo foram caracterizados em termos quantitativos (produção) e qualitativos (composição e poder calorífico) durante 12 meses de monitoramento. Foram estudados dois cenários de aproveitamento energético dos subprodutos: (i) uso prioritário do biogás para a secagem térmica do lodo e o excedente de biogás para geração de eletricidade em motor de combustão interna; e (ii) uso prioritário do biogás visando à geração de eletricidade e ao aproveitamento do calor dos gases de exaustão para a secagem térmica de lodo. Para a análise desses cenários, utilizou-se o software CHEMCAD® a fim de determinar as condições de queima do biogás em câmara de combustão e em motor de combustão interna, assim como na determinação dos balanços de massa e energia. O estudo analisou o potencial de aproveitamento dos subprodutos do tratamento como fonte de energia renovável para uso na própria ETE e para fornecimento a terceiros. No cenário 1, a geração de eletricidade é menor (atendendo 22,2% da demanda de energia da ETE), mas a secagem térmica possibilita maior redução no volume final de lodo a ser disposto ou a eliminação completa de disposição final se o lodo seco final (com 10% de umidade) for utilizado como combustível por terceiros. No cenário 2, a geração de eletricidade é capaz de suprir 57,6% da demanda de energia da ETE, todavia o calor contido nos gases de exaustão não é suficiente para a secagem de todo o lodo desaguado, configurando uma menor redução na quantidade de lodo a ser disposto (13,5 ou 24,9% de redução em massa, conforme a alternativa de remoção de umidade selecionada).

Para este fim, são estimados dois modelos econométricos: o modelo de efeitos fixos, segundo a metodologia desenvolvida por Deschênes e Greenstone (2007), e o modelo de preços hedônicos proposto por Mendelsohn et al. (1994). Ambos os modelos são estimados utilizando dados de painel para os municípios brasileiros no período de 1970-1995. Os resultados das simulações sugerem que o impacto das mudanças climáticas no setor agrícola brasileiro será relativamente modesto no médio prazo. Contudo, estes impactos tendem a tornar-se significativamente mais severos no longo prazo--------------------------This paper aims at estimating the effects of climate change on the Brazilian agriculture both in terms of agricultural profitability and land values. To accomplish this task, we estimate two econometric models: the fixed-effects model proposed by Deschênes and Greenstone (2007) and the hedonic model proposed by Mendelsohn et al. (1994). Both models are estimated for a panel of municipalities covering the period 1970-1995. Simulation results suggest that the overall impact of climate change will be quite modest for the Brazilian agriculture in the medium term, but these impacts are considerably more severe in the long term.
