In response to Brazil unveiling its updated national climate plan, 350.org welcomed progress on tackling deforestation but warned the plan falls short of the urgent action needed to phase out fossil fuels and tackle the growing fuel crisis engulfing Brazil.
The new plan, the first update since 2008, sets out Brazil’s pathway to cut emissions by up to 67% by 2035 and reach net zero by 2050, with a continued focus on ending deforestation, a major driver of emissions in the Amazon.
However, campaigners say the plan lacks the ambition needed to rapidly transition away from oil, gas and coal, particularly as Brazil remains one of the world’s top emitters.
