President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva plans to commit Brazil to a more ambitious climate change goal this year, addressing criticisms of the previous target set by his far-right predecessor Jair Bolsonaro, two sources told Reuters.
In 2021, amid growing global outrage over Bolsonaro's light-touch stewardship of the Amazon rainforest, his government pledged to cut greenhouse emissions by 50% by 2030, up from a previous commitment of 43%.
Brazilian lobby group Climate Observatory calculated that the Bolsonaro target would allow an additional 400 million tonnes of greenhouse gas to be emitted, compared to the prior target. The goal is to issue the revised target, known as a "nationally determined contribution" under the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change, later this year. After the change, the target will be "more ambitious," one of the sources said.
