    Brazil announces new climate goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 59-67% by 2035

    As the UN Climate Change Conference (COP-29) begins, Brazil has set forth an ambitious goal to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 59-67 per cent by 2035 compared to 2005 levels, aiming to reduce emissions to between 850 million and 1.05 billion metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year. This is reported by Toda Palavra, a partner of TV BRICS.

    This update comes as countries prepare to present revised climate commitments in line with the global objective of limiting warming to 1.5°C. With the planet warming close to this threshold, climate scientists warn of escalating heatwaves, storms, and droughts worldwide, reinforcing the need for urgent action.

    Brazil, alongside the United Arab Emirates (last year’s COP host), supports the “1.5 mission,” urging nations to commit to measures aligning with the 1.5°C limit. Despite Brazil’s early release of its updated NDC, analysts argue that the target’s effectiveness hinges on clear action plans, which Brazil has yet to provide.

    In terms of emissions, Brazil currently produces an estimated 1.65 billion metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent. With deforestation rates declining to their lowest since 2015, Brazil may use these recent successes to highlight its progress at COP-29.
