Ricardo Salles, who declined to set a target for limiting deforestation in the coming year, said in an interview Saturday with The Associated Press that his country is committed to reducing illegal activity, but needs the support of developed nations.
While participating in the climate conference known as COP25, Salles is working to assure others of theBolsonaro has squabbled with some European leaders this year over his commitment to protecting the. He has worried environmental activists and others by criticizing Brazil's environment regulator and by calling for more development in the Amazon region. He also accused activists groups, without evidence, of having set fires in that region to undermine his administration.
Salles said developed nations should help Brazil on the basis of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement signed in 2015 on tackling the effects of climate change. The article says monetary compensation mechanisms must be created to help developing countries. However, both European nations have suspended contributions, citing the continued deforestation and questioning whether the government wants to stop it. The Brazilian newspaper O Globo reported this past week that the fund's disbursements this year were the smallest since 2013 and said zero projects were approved despite the fact the fund has 2.2 billion reais available.
In other words, Brazil is 'blackmailing' any country who wants to save the forests.
it all sounds so primitive and it is the tribes that are educated..cra..save the amazon world
Brazil has been fine since the beginning of time, They will never allow the UN to interfere, Globalist who have no clue what there talking about, NGO started the fires. Not one was in the forest where it's to wet to caught fire.
He's as incompetent as the rest of the current cabinet. Don't give any money to Brazil. Maybe some technical aid only. An example, meat prices have spiked here recently due 2 more chinese imports. President said it would deforest more 2 raise cattle and fix the matter !
