Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions rose more than 12% in 2021 largely due to surging deforestation in the Amazon rainforest under far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, a non-profit report said on Tuesday.
The data comes as environmentalists, sustainable investors and many world leaders praise Sunday's election of left-wing leader Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who has promised to protect the world's largest rainforest and tackle climate change.Brazil emitted the most greenhouse gas last year since 2005, according to the so-called SEEG emissions monitoring project sponsored by the Climate Observatory environmental advocacy group.
Brazil, despite having a relatively clean electricity grids reliant on hydropower and renewable energy, is the globe's fifth-largest emitter of greenhouse gas mostly because of deforestation, agriculture and other land use. Bolsonaro has rolled back environmental protections and sought to introduce more farming, mining and infrastructure in the Amazon, leading deforestation to spike to a 15-year high.
