Brazil stands at a pivotal crossroads. Under President Lula, the nation has made undeniably important progress: deforestation in the Amazon has dropped significantly, restoring hope for one of the planet’s most vital ecosystems. This achievement deserves real recognition. Yet at the same time, Brazil is expanding offshore oil and gas production—an alarming contradiction that undermines its hard-won environmental gains.
We cannot ignore the simple truth: the Amazon cannot be protected while fossil-fuel expansion accelerates. These mixed policies place Brazil’s climate leadership at risk and jeopardize global efforts to limit catastrophic warming. Nations looking to Brazil for moral and environmental leadership need clarity, consistency, and courage—not competing agendas.
Brazil has the capacity to be a transformative force in global climate action. But that future requires investment in renewable energy, community-centered development, and a clear commitment to phasing out fossil fuels.
The world is watching. For the sake of the Amazon, vulnerable communities, and our shared climate future, Brazil must choose a path of true, lasting sustainability.
