Brazil’s first scientific expedition to the Arctic aims to explore the biodiversity of one of the planet’s coldest territories, learn more about its ecological importance and its role in global climate change, and contribute to its preservation.
The Brazilian team of scientists from the University of Brasília and the Federal University of Minas Gerais has been in the Svalbard archipelago—a section of the Arctic Circle that belongs to Norway—since July 8. According to the expert, research in the region is crucial in monitoring relevant developments in Brazil as well as worldwide. “What happens here in the Arctic affects Brazil, so we should have the right to speak and vote, which is not happening.”
Brazil is the only among the ten largest global economies without a voice on issues related to the region. Therefore, Brazil’s scientific presence in the Arctic—a region covering more than 16 million square kilometers—can prove significant for the inclusion of the nation as an observer member of the Arctic Council, the international cooperation body on environmental strategies for the territory. The country should also join the Svalbard Treaty, which not only recognizes Norway’s sovereignty over the archipelago, but also grants access to the area’s resources for signatory nations.

It is possible to infer from the text that only nations that are members of the Arctic Council are allowed to sign the Svalbard Treaty.

Comentário: A afirmação está errada porque o texto não menciona que apenas os membros do Arctic Council podem assinar o Svalbard Treaty. O tratado é aberto a qualquer nação que reconheça a soberania da Noruega sobre o arquipélago de Svalbard e que deseje acessar os recursos da área. Portanto, mesmo nações que não são membros do Arctic Council podem se tornar signatárias do Svalbard Treaty, desde que atendam aos requisitos estabelecidos. Isso indica que a participação na assinatura do tratado não está restrita às nações que fazem parte do conselho, contradizendo a afirmação.
