ApexBrasil President, Jorge Viana, highlights Brazil as a key player in addressing climate change.
The Conference of the Parties (COP 28) marks a significant moment for Brazil as the country stands out as a protagonist in the pursuit of solutions for environmental preservation. The Brazil Pavilion, coordinated by ApexBrasil in partnership with the Ministry of the Environment (MMA), Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE), civil society, and various partners, witnessed a notable inauguration, symbolizing Brazil's renewed unified commitment to preservation policies.
The event was marked by the opening speech of the president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Dubai, December 1st), who emphasized the need for concrete actions in the face of environmental challenges. "We need concrete actions for an economy less dependent on fossil fuels," stated the President. The return to a leadership position on the global stage was driven by presidential diplomacy, promoting Brazil as an attractive territory for investments.
The participation in COP 28 reinforces Brazil's commitment to preservation and sustainable development policies, solidifying the country as a global leader in the resumption of environmental preservation practices, especially in the Amazon. The president of ApexBrasil, Jorge Viana, highlighted Brazil as an active protagonist in climate change: "Brazil is back, not only as part of the solution but as the protagonist in the global environmental agenda." Carlos Fávaro, Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply, emphasized the crucial role of ApexBrasil in uniting the public and private sectors. "Apex played a crucial role, bringing together President Lula's government and the private sector, strengthening Brazil's position in the world," said Fávaro.
Brazil arrives at COP 28 reinforcing its commitment to indigenous peoples and the recovery and preservation of forests and water, recognizing its global responsibility. The country demonstrates not only its natural wealth but also its strength in science, technology, innovation, and diverse economic potentials.
The President of the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco, stressed the importance of implementing the policies discussed at COP. "This is a stage for many ideas, many initiatives, and that is very good for Brazil. I hope that from this, we can implement new public policies so that Brazil can take the lead and further consolidate itself as a global and world power in green economy, energy transition, and sustainable evolution," said Pacheco.
