In New Delhi on March 6, Brazil warned of potential setbacks in climate action due to a "triple negative" effect following U.S. President Donald Trump's return to the White House. Minister Marina Silva expressed concerns about geopolitical complexities disrupting efforts to address climate change and foster international cooperation. Noting the impact of trade tariffs and global turmoil, Silva emphasized the need for unity and adherence to scientific principles.
Brazil's upcoming hosting of the COP30 global climate summit in November underscores its commitment to advancing climate goals. Silva highlighted the necessity for sustained financial support and cooperation among nations. She cautioned against the short-term political benefits of trade disputes, emphasizing the long-term risks of inflation and threats to food security posed by environmental challenges.
