The Sustainability Network (Portuguese: Rede Sustentabilidade, REDE) is an environmentalist Brazilian political party[1][6] founded in 2013 by Marina Silva, a Brazilian politician from Acre.[7] The party formed a strategic alliance with the Brazilian Socialist Party for the 2014 Brazilian general election, until its registration as an independent political party was approved in 2015.[8] The Sustainability Network has 19,090 members as of January 2017.[9]

For the Brazilian general election of 2018 REDE formed with the Green Party the coalition United to transform Brazil, in support of Marina Silva.[10] In the 2022 Brazilian general election REDE formed a coalition with other leftist parties for the pre-candidacy of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva with the coalition Let's go together for Brazil.
