"Brazil has the capacity to generate bio-methane from both urban and rural waste—especially from poultry, pork, sugar, and alcohol”, the minister stated.
Upon opening the Planeta Campo Forum, organized by Canal Rural, the minister of Agriculture said that agriculture and livestock farming is part of the solution to reduce the impacts of global warming.
Brazil’s Environment Minister Joaquim Leite argued that the country played a central role in negotiations at the 26th Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, which set as a target to reach carbon neutrality by 2050.
Brazil’s Environment Minister mentioned a study by Boston Consulting Group (BCG), according to which the world needs to invest $150 trillion in the next 30 years if it is willing to meet the targets of the Climate Agreement signed in Paris in 2015 and keep global warming in check.
“Brazil will seek consensus on relevant topics like climate financing. This problem must be recognized. Having found the solution, there is nothing better than green growth, a transition into a green economy, neuter in emissions by 2050, as is the Brazilian goal,” Joaquim Leite stated.
