Lula’s leftist ideologies also apply to his perspective on climate issues. As reported by Reuters, Lula has promised “an environmental overhaul of government policy.”
He also intends to federally protect a 193,000-square-mile stretch of the Amazon rainforest, mitigate deforestation in the Amazon, offer subsidies to those practicing sustainable farming, and facilitate a green economy by making changes to Brazil’s tax code, the news agency explained. And according to the journal Nature, Lula has pledged to protect Indigenous lands, as well as bring Brazil to “net zero” deforestation.
