In addition to heads of state and representatives from over 190 countries, Brazilian businessmen also have an extensive agenda in Glasgow, Scotland, to discuss the commitments made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and curb global warming.
The second day of the summit of the 26th United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP26) takes place this Tuesday (2).
In an interview with CNN, Marina Grossi, president of the Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development (Cebds) stated that the Brazilian business sector defends the end of illegal deforestation as a fundamental step in the fight against climate change.
“Cebds has taken positions placing the business sector against illegal deforestation, as the great problem in Brazil is linked to land use, above all deforestation. Our problem is not in the energy matrix and in the industrial sector”, said Grossi.
“For this reason, the business sector responsible for 50% of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) knows that this noise hinders all the actions that the sector already takes, and Brazil is the great candidate to obtain the carbon credits that may come from revalued forest areas.”
The president of Cebds recalled that the country has a degraded area larger than the German territory, which, together with productivity, can increase our cattle much more.
“And the companies have positions from entrepreneurs who are in the Amazon, a place that has the greatest illegality in Brazil. we show [em Glasgow] that it is possible, and companies already do this in the Amazon, to produce and conserve.”
