Flávio Bolsonaro's election advance alarms Brazil climate campaigners

Original: # Brazil Flávio Bolsonaro’s advance in Brazil’s election is grim jolt for climate campaigners Inquest under way into why

Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, is making gains in Brazil's elections, in a setback for climate campaigners. Commentators are questioning why President Lula's widely praised success in curbing Amazon deforestation has not translated into electoral support, raising concerns about the political prospects of Brazil's environmental agenda.

Why now: The Bolsonaro family's electoral strength despite Lula's environmental achievements suggests climate policy may not be deciding Brazilian voters.
