Brazil's far right return seen as climate setback
Original: The Return of the Brazilian Far Right Is a Climate Catastrophe
Commentary in The New Republic argues that the political return of Brazil's far right would be a disaster for the global climate, given the country's role as steward of the Amazon rainforest. The piece frames Brazilian electoral politics as a matter of worldwide environmental consequence, warning that a rightward shift could undo forest protections and accelerate deforestation, with knock-on effects for global emissions targets.
Why now: Fears that a Brazilian political shift could weaken Amazon protection and global climate efforts.
