Lula demands rich nations fund forest preservation at COP31

g1.globo.com (Portuguese) —

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva used the COP31 leaders' summit in Turkey, which ended Thursday, to again demand investments from wealthy nations for forest preservation. British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, the only G7 leader present, called climate change a national security issue, backed Turkey's electrification push, and pledged to neutralize emissions by 2050. Lula also met bilaterally with Iran's president and reaffirmed Brazil's zero-deforestation commitment. Brazil's environment minister defended a meeting with Venezuela about expanding oil investment, saying it does not contradict the country's energy transition agenda. Negotiators remain in Turkey to finalize agreements.
