In an interview with CNN this Tuesday (2), Carlos Nobre, president of the Brazilian Panel on Climate Change (PBMC) and senior researcher at the Institute for Advanced Studies at the University of São Paulo (IEA-USP), said that for the first time since the last COP, United Nations Conference on Climate Change, which took place in 2019, Brazil was not an obstacle to signing agreements.
“At this COP26 there is a great urgency for all countries in the world to commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions quickly. This is a huge challenge, and Brazil has not left its commitments”, said Nobre.
“Brazil, for the first time since 2019, at the last COP [a edição 25, em Madrid, na Espanha], he did not stand as an obstacle, at least in the signing of these commitments, such as the goal of ending illegal deforestation by 2030 and also of being part of the 105 countries that signed the declaration on the maintenance of forests”, he added.
In all, 105 countries, including Brazil, announced this Tuesday (2) a new agreement to end illegal deforestation by the end of this decade.
The pledge will be made at COP26, United Nations Climate Change Conference, in Glasgow, Scotland, where heads of state and delegation representatives discuss ways to contain the global climate crisis.
This will be the first major deal at COP26, called the Global Commitment to Financing Forests, which will have as one of its funding pledges a fund of nearly 14 billion pounds of public and private money.
The resource will be sent to developing countries that have forests to be preserved.
