Shortly before the start of the UN Climate Change Conference COP26, Brazil's internationally pressured government has promised measures to preserve the Amazon.
According to Vice President Hamilton Mourão, the Brazilian delegation will announce at the COP that it will end illegal deforestation of the Amazon rainforest by 2027 or 2028. President Jair Bolsonaro had still mentioned 2030 as a target at US President Joe Biden's climate summit in April. "I think a more ambitious target would be very welcome by the international community," Mourão said at a press conference on Monday (local time).
