Pedro de Paula, our Country Director in Brazil, published a piece addressing Brazil's unique opportunity to increase alcohol taxation and the real impact of alcohol on Brazilian society. Read more ⬇️
Esta semana, a Câmara dos Deputados votará o Projeto de Lei Complementar de Regulamentação da Reforma Tributária (PLP 68/24). Nesse contexto, escrevi no Valor Econômico sobre o impacto real do álcool na sociedade e a importância do Imposto Seletivo como uma medida eficaz para proteger a saúde da população e promover o desenvolvimento econômico do país. O álcool resulta em milhares de mortes todos os anos e bilhões são gastos no tratamento de doenças e lesões graves decorrentes do seu consumo, além de outros bilhões perdidos devido à queda na produtividade e aos custos com a previdência social. Aumentar os impostos sobre o álcool é, ao mesmo tempo, uma medida de saúde pública e uma ação que trará benefícios econômicos para o Brasil. 🌐 Leia meu artigo completo e entenda como essa medida pode salvar vidas e fortalecer nossa sociedade. 👉 https://lnkd.in/d_iAmZAN #SaúdePública #ReformaTributaria #ImpostoSeletivo #Álcool #ValorEconômico #VitalStrategies

The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to limit federal regulatory authority through the recent Chevron ruling threatens essential protections we have for #publichealth, the environment and beyond. It shifts power from experts at federal agencies, leaving courts to decide how regulations are enforced and opening them up to legal challenges. The rules that protect our health care, the environment, our water supply and food systems should be decided on and implemented by experts at these agencies, not lawyers and judges. It will paralyze potential for progress on stronger health systems, climate change, cleaner air and water, and more. The decision by the current court majority reverses decades of progress in favor of corporate interests. Read more about the ruling from The New York Times https://lnkd.in/dFSQtYtg Photo: Air pollution over Los Angeles. The Chevron ruling could gut regulations set out under the 1970 Clean Air Act.
