Six weeks before taking power, Brazilian President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Wednesday told a packed crowd at the UN climate summit in Egypt that his administration would crack down on illegal deforestation and thrust Latin America’s largest and most populous nation to the forefront of climate leadership.
“You all know that we are going to undertake a big fight against deforestation,” said da Silva to cheers. “Brazil can’t remain isolated like it was these last four years. didn’t travel to any other countries, and no other countries travelled to Brazil,” said da Silva. Under Bolsonaro, elected in 2018, environmental agencies that regulate the Amazon were weakened. The former Army captain also appointed forest managers from the agribusiness sector, which opposes the creation of protected areas such as Indigenous territories and pushes for the legalization of land robbing. The deforested area in Brazil’s Amazon reached a 15-year high from August 2020 to July 2021, according to official figures.
