Brazilian Government announced that, at COP26 , Brazil will present its goals of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, reducing GHG to 50% by 2030 and eliminating illegal deforestation in the Amazon as well as reforesting 44.46 million acres of vegetation also by 2030.
Remarks by President Jair Bolsonaro at COP26:
"Brazil is a green powerhouse. We have the largest biodiversity on the planet, the most extensive and richest forest cover, and vast ocean areas." (1/10)
"When it comes to fighting climate change, we have always been part of the solution, not the problem.
Last week, I launched the National Green Growth Program that brings environmental concerns to the center of the economic agenda." (2/10)
"By promoting 'green economy', the Program will provide guideline to environmental protection and conservation through economic incentives, chanelling resources and attracting investment." (3/10)
"We will favor actions and projects for forest conversation, rational use of natural resources, mitigation of greenhouse gases emissions and, mostly, the creation of 'green jobs'." (4/10)
"Brazil’s federal government counts on credit and investment lines that amount to over fifty billion dollars, directed to 'green' projects in areas such as forest conservation and restoration, low emissions agriculture, renewable energy, sanitation, transportation and…" (5/10)
"…information technology. These resources will foster economic growth, generate employment, and contribute to consolidate Brazil as a leading 'green economy'.
Our initiative is in line with the global response to climate change." (6/10)
"It promotes sustainable development with low emissions and aims to erradicate poverty, while ensuring large-scale food production—an important aspect of global food security. We will act responsibly, developing real solutions for an urgent transition." (7/10)
"We are committed to providing better living conditions for all Brazilians, and thus contributing to a better quality of life in the whole world." (8/10)
"I reaffirm my message to all participants of COP-26 and to the Brazilian people: Brazil is part of the solution to overcome this global challenge. The results already achieved by our country until 2020 demonstrate that we can further raise our ambition." (9/10)
"For this reason, I have authorized the Minister of Environment, Joaquim Leite, to present new climate goals at COP-26." (10/10)
And
Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture presents our country for what it is indeed: an environmental superpower in terms of preservation; working towards conservation, lawfulness and transparency in agribusiness - which uses less than 30% of our territory.
