Abstract
This article aims to present the case of the environmental licensing of the Nova Seival thermoelectric power plant, a paradigmatic socio-environmental conflict linked to the exploration of mineral carving in Rio Grande do Sul. It will be demonstrated how the community mobilization and strategic litigation made it possible to suspend the licensing of this plant, as well as that in this case, an emblematic sentence was handed down, which determined the inclusion of the climate component in all licensing of thermoelectric plants in this state.
