Not long ago, the first National Climate Change Conference in Brazil, hosted by the Brazilian Climate Change Research Network, was held in the capital city of Brasilia. Attendees discussed Brazil's solutions to adapt to climate change, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, predict and respond to extreme weather, and other issues. Luciana Santos, Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation of Brazil, stated that the purpose of holding this conference is to better apply scientific methods to address climate issues. The Brazilian government encourages scientific research activities related to addressing climate change, and the Climate Change Research Network is one of its representatives. This institution was established in 2007 and has gathered over 100 researchers to conduct various related studies. The organization has also collaborated with other institutions to develop a Brazilian Earth System Model, which simulates scenarios such as the atmosphere, oceans, and surface on supercomputers to analyze and predict extreme weather and climate events, climate warming, and more. At the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 2023, the Brazilian government reaffirmed its goal of reducing carbon emissions by 53% by 2030 compared to 2005, as well as its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The Brazilian government has announced that it will invest nearly 21 billion Brazilian reals (1 Brazilian reals is about 1.32 yuan) in the field of sustainable economy, promoting the development of innovative technologies, low-carbon economy, and sustainable infrastructure, with a focus on biofuels, decarbonization projects, etc., to accelerate the energy transition. According to Brazilian media articles, the country's Ministry of Mines and Energy is increasing financing for energy transition and developing sustainable fuel industries to further reduce carbon emissions. Brazil has also achieved initial results in vegetation protection. According to data from Brazil's National Institute for Space Research, deforestation in the Amazon region decreased by 38% in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year; In 2023, the area of native vegetation loss caused by deforestation in the Amazon region decreased by 21.8% year-on-year. On this year's World Environment Day, Brazilian President Lula signed multiple laws to strengthen the protection of natural vegetation, including the establishment of wildlife reserves, prevention and control of fires in the Amazon and Pantanal regions, and the development of a national plan for mangrove conservation and sustainable use. Marina Silva, Minister of Environment and Climate Change of Brazil, recently stated that the department is developing a national emergency response plan for climate change, aimed at enhancing the ability of high-risk areas to cope with extreme weather disasters, strengthening risk analysis, prevention, and response actions.
