The latter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/portuguese\/brasil-63633669\">told BBC Brazil<\/a> that he hoped the president-elect would \u201cturn around\u201d Brazil\u2019s climate policy.<\/p>\n<p>In most corners of the conference centre, Lula, who will take office in January, was met with cheers and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/francesleach_\/status\/1592812350025125889\">rockstar<\/a>\u201d welcomes, and delivered speeches to packed rooms, with the clear message that \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/cop\/brazil-is-back-climate-helm-lula-arrives-egypt-cop27-2022-11-15\">Brazil is back<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrazil is coming out of the cocoon to which it has been subjected over the past four years,\u201d the president-elect told attendees. \u201cBrazil was not born to be an isolated country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also reiterated his <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LulaOficial\/status\/1592825508169158657\">offer<\/a> to host a future COP in the Amazon, with 2025 the next date likely available, though as yet unconfirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Countries generally only have one pavilion set up at COP climate summits. But the fierce divides that have emerged in Brazil amid the Bolsonaro administration\u2019s controversial handling of the environment have led to three separate pavilions being set up at COP27: one representing Bolsonaro\u2019s federal government, one from governors of Amazonian states who have acted as opposition to the government, and another run by civil society.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Brazil is coming out of the cocoon to which it has been subjected over the past four years<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The vision for Brazil presented by Lula at the summit was markedly different from the one on show at the official national government pavilion. Presentations by the Ministry of the Environment, headed by Joaquim Leite, focused on data about renewable energy: the minister\u2019s strategy was to contrast the Brazilian energy matrix, mostly <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate-energy\/56368-hydropower-latin-america-climate-crisis\/\">based on hydropower<\/a>, with Europe\u2019s dependence on oil and coal \u2013 which has become more evident since Russia began its war in Ukraine. Lula, meanwhile, highlighted the deterioration of protections for the Amazon and for indigenous peoples, the reduction in environmental inspections and the consequent <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate-energy\/57867-amazon-presidential-elections-motivated-race-for-forest-destruction\/\">increase in deforestation<\/a> of the biome.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the first three years of the current government,\u201d the president-elect said, \u201cdeforestation in the Amazon increased by 73%. In 2021 alone, 13 thousand square kilometres were deforested. This devastation will be a thing of the past. Environmental crimes, which grew in a frightening way during this government that is coming to an end, will now be fought relentlessly.\u201d He emphasised that climate issues will be at the centre of his new government.<\/p>\n<h2>Diplomatic split at COP27<\/h2>\n<p>Raoni Raj\u00e3o, a professor at the Federal University of Minas Gerais and researcher at the Wilson Center, told Di\u00e1logo Chino that there was a \u201cdiplomatic split\u201d for Brazil during the conference, since ministers and state representatives only sit down to talk with their counterparts who are already in office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a great desire to start talking to the Lula government, since there is unanimity that all possibilities of advancing with the Bolsonaro government were frustrated,\u201d said Raj\u00e3o, who attended COP27 and commented that the official delegation\u2019s participation was \u201clow profile\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Raj\u00e3o added that the arrival of Lula has served more to rebuild lost bilateral relations than to generate a real impact on the formal negotiations of the conference.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the optimism on the international stage, it is still not clear how Lula will manage climate issues domestically. One difficulty he will face is reconciling the interests of the country\u2019s agribusiness and its powerful lobby in congress with those of the climate agenda.<\/p>\n<p>During Lula\u2019s previous administration (2003\u20132010), his <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/uncategorised\/59427-marina-silva-brazil-will-assume-international-environmental-leadership\/\">former environment minister Marina Silva<\/a> split with the president and his Workers\u2019 Party due to disagreements over environmental policy. There had been expectations that Lula would announce his future minister during COP27, but this did not happen.<\/p>\n<h2>Financing for the Amazon<\/h2>\n<p>COP27 has brought new impetus to negotiations over international financing to Brazil, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/environment\/norway-backed-fund-protect-amazon-will-restart-early-next-year-norwegian-2022-11-17\/\">near US$600 million Amazon Fund<\/a>, paralysed under Bolsonaro\u2019s administration, set to be restarted, and the volume of transfers potentially increased. At an event held with governors of Brazilian Amazon states, representatives of the German and Norwegian governments, which back the fund, spoke of their intention to release resources early next year before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_59572\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-59572\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate-energy\/59427-marina-silva-brazil-will-assume-international-environmental-leadership\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-59572\" src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Marina-Silva-interview_Reuters_Alamy_2K2WG4T-scaled-e1665753702958-1024x662.jpg\" alt=\"Marina Silva in an interview\" width=\"350\" height=\"226\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-59572\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate-energy\/59427-marina-silva-brazil-will-assume-international-environmental-leadership\/\">Marina Silva: \u2018Brazil will assume international environmental leadership\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Marina Silva, the former environment minister who is, following the recent elections, an elected member of parliament and a member of Lula\u2019s transition team, confirmed to Di\u00e1logo Chino that international actors are interested in investing in Brazil\u2019s climate agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a great mobilisation to cooperate with Brazil, and we are feeling it here with the bilateral relations with all countries, with the multilateral funding agencies, with philanthropy,\u201d Silva said.

In particular, the proposed agreement between the European Union and Mercosur, the economic bloc formed by Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, will be back on the agenda, having been announced in 2019. \u201cThe negotiations will be resumed,\u201d Silva assured. \u201cThey were suspended because there was no confidence that the Bolsonaro government would comply with the clauses protecting the Amazon and native peoples.\u201d The four countries face difficulties with deforestation of their biomes, driven by agribusiness.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_57900\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57900\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate-energy\/57867-amazon-presidential-elections-motivated-race-for-forest-destruction\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-57900\" src=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/amazonia-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"233\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-57900\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate-energy\/57867-amazon-presidential-elections-motivated-race-for-forest-destruction\/\">Aerial images show deforestation \u2018race\u2019 in Amazon ahead of Brazilian elections<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>During COP27, Lula\u2019s transition team received a <a href=\"https:\/\/climainternacional.plataformacipo.org\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Clima-e-estrategia-internacional-COP27.pdf\">document<\/a> with suggestions for environmental foreign policy produced by the Plataforma Cip\u00f3, a climate NGO, presented by its executive director, Adriana Abdenur. Signatories of the proposals include Izabella Teixeira, another former environment minister and adviser to the COP27 presidency, and Pedro Abramovay, director for Latin America of the Open Society Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Abdenur told Di\u00e1logo Chino that Brazil needs to go beyond emergency climate measures and think about short-, medium- and long-term strategies. \u201cInternational cooperation has to be a way to strengthen sustainable development and fair transition policies,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd Lula will reposition Brazil as a proactive actor in regional and global discussions.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Brazil has the capacity not only to strengthen and rebuild its mechanisms, but also to create new channels of dialogue and new initiatives<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the document, the group argues that Latin America and the Caribbean should use climate issues as a <a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/uncategorised\/60433-cop27-latin-america-unity-climate-summit-egypt\/\">new basis for regional integration<\/a>. \u201cThis is very important not only because of the challenges posed by climate change, but also because of the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, in which there has been a restructuring of the global economy and new risks to value chains have emerged, such as food and energy sovereignty,\u201d Abdenur said.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about the difference she noticed in Brazil\u2019s presence at COP27 compared to previous events, Abdenur felt there had been more optimism, even with challenges ahead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will not be a very easy endeavour, there was a great emptying and dismantling of the federal institutions in charge of environmental protection,\u201d she said. \u201cBut Brazil has, both within the state and outside, in civil society and the private sector, the capacity not only to strengthen and rebuild its mechanisms, but also to create new channels of dialogue and new initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President-elect only participates in side events at summit, but generates
