The Transformative Role of PEAT
Environmental Education, grounded in legislation, plays a crucial role in the management of oil and gas projects, in accordance with the National Environmental Education Policy (Law 9.795/99) and Decree 4.281/02. Normative Instruction 2/2012 highlights from Ibama the need to train workers to assess socio-environmental risks, especially in oil and gas operations.
Normative Instruction 2, dated March 27, 2012, from Ibama states: "PEAT shall comprise teaching-learning processes aimed at developing capacities for workers to assess the implications of socio-environmental damages and risks resulting from the enterprise on the physical-natural and social environment in its area of influence."
Environmental Impact and the Need for Awareness
Activities such as oil and gas exploration pose significant environmental challenges. Environmental Education, integrated into the Workers' Environmental Education Program (PEAT), becomes essential. It discusses environmental conservation, promotes awareness, and encourages daily sustainable actions in the specific context of oil and gas.
The Role of PEAT in the Environmental Governance of the Oil and Gas Sector
PEAT, in addition to being a legal requirement, aligns with the environmental and social governance of the oil and gas sector, adding value to the business. It prepares workers to be active agents in environmental preservation, becoming caretakers of the environment in the face of specific landscape and environmental changes unique to this industry.
Thus, the Program is a vital tool for sensitizing workers to the correct implementation of procedures, covering environmental preservation, safety, health, and respect for local communities affected by oil and gas activities. CLAM stands out as a strategic partner in developing sustainable operations in this challenging sector.
The Importance of PEAT in the Oil and Gas Sector
