Brazil is in the spotlight as it hosts COP30 in the Amazon rainforest, highlighting the country’s climate contradictions. Once a global leader in deforestation reduction, Brazil now faces rising wildfires, pressure from agribusiness, and plans for oil exploration, even as 80% of its electricity comes from renewable energy. With initiatives like the Tropical Forests Forever Facility, Brazil aims to reward forest conservation while navigating complex climate policy, sustainability, and environmental protection challenges.
