The notion of sustainability began to manifest politically as a response to a growing global environmental crisis long ago and had its origins in humanity's awareness of the risks posed by global environmental hazards, especially those resulting from nuclear detonations and radioactive fallout in the 1990s. 1950. And central among these concepts was the idea of sustainable development, a term that encapsulates a set of paradigms intended to utilize resources to meet human needs while considering the imperative of environmental preservation. However, despite the optimistic vision, the reality of sustainable development has been undermined by several challenges, including environmental racism. The emergence of environmental racism, a phenomenon in which environmental policies and practices disproportionately affect individuals or communities based on race, intersects with the pursuit of sustainability. Thus, this work, with the aim of contributing to the resolution of these issues, acting as a complement to the authors' master's and doctoral studies, proposes a non-exhaustive answer to the following question: what are the intersections between environmental racism and sustainability in Brazil ? To answer this question, the concepts of sustainability, with a focus on sustainable development, and environmental racism were analyzed, in order to propose the connections between the two. As this research unfolds, it aims to contribute to the ongoing dialogue and efforts to create a more sustainable and equitable future. That said, the present research did not aim to exhaust the topic. The methodology used in this article was inductive, through the collection of bibliographical bases on the subject.
