Given the sharply divided second round in Brazil, in which the former president Luis Inacio Lula da Silva gained a third term over the current president Jair Bolsonaro, it is time to reflect on the outcome of 2022 elections in Brazil. By combining scholars and advocates from different fields, including economics, health, law and climate, this event seeks to provide a comprehensive, yet in-depth and critical debate on Brazil's political future under Lula'’ presidency in light of Bolsonaro'’ legacy, and assess the challenges and opportunities ahead.
