Brazilian President LuizInacio Lula da Silva said on Monday he hopes for the United States to want to invest in Brazil so the two countries can work to “drive the energy transition forward. Lula had already said last week he would ask global leaders, including U.S. President Joe Biden and China’s Xi Jinping, to increase investments in Brazil as his administration launches anew ecological transition plan.
The outcome was only a partial success. Tuesday’s Belém declaration outlines important new areas of cooperation in combating illegal logging, mining and burning in the Amazon. But it failed to formalise a target of ending deforestation by 2030 – a commitment already adopted by Lula’s Brazil, and one credited with driving much of the progress his government has made this year. Leaders were also unable to agree a common position on the future of industries such as cattle farming, mining and oil, which are driving the destruction. This was, then, a weaker document than environmental groups, and Lula himself, had hoped for. But as it rightly argues, game-changing progress in these areas will not be achieved without assistance – on a transformative scale – from the richer nations that have benefited from exploitation of the Amazon’s resources.
