Lula’s COP30 Opens With Bold Attack on Climate Crisis Deniers
Brazilian President Lula da Silva has kicked off the COP30 climate conference in Belém, Amazon region, with a strong stance against climate crisis deniers. He declared it was time to deal climate skeptics another defeat at the summit held in his home country.
Lula da Silva, known for his firm stance on climate change, called for a united front against those who dismiss the reality of global warming. He described the gathering as a 'conference of truth', emphasizing the need to combat disinformation about the climate crisis. The conference, led by Lula, aims to advance international climate finance, require all parties to submit climate targets for 2035, and promote adaptation to climate change. A key initiative is the launch of the 'Tropical Forest Forever Fund' to protect forests, with a focus on the Amazon region. The goal is to transform industry, energy, and agriculture while prioritizing biodiversity and sustainable social development.
The conference comes amidst a backdrop of climate skepticism, with former U.S. President Donald Trump having previously dismissed global warming as a 'hoax'. Lula's call for a firm stand against such views signals a commitment to driving meaningful climate action at the global level.
