Gavin Newsom prioritizes climate action over political buzz in Brazil visit
California Governor Gavin Newsom has arrived in Brazil ahead of the UN climate change talks, greeted with a flurry of meeting and selfie requests. His visit comes on the heels of a redistricting victory back home.
Newsom's first encounter with the Brazilian press saw him field a question about his presidential ambitions. He swiftly steered the conversation towards the 2026 FIFA World Cup, expressing his excitement for the event. Before the climate conferences, Newsom met with a CEO or leader of an NGO in São Paulo at an event organised by the US-based Milken Institute. This meeting was part of his broader efforts to engage with international stakeholders ahead of the UN talks.
Newsom's attendance at the climate change conference is a significant step in California's commitment to global climate action. The state, under his leadership, has been at the forefront of US climate policy, setting ambitious targets and implementing stringent regulations.
Gov. Gavin Newsom's visit to Brazil signals California's continued commitment to international climate cooperation. Despite the curiosity about his political aspirations, Newsom remains focused on the UN climate change talks and the state's role in driving global climate action.
