BRASILIA — Brazil’s President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva will offer to host a future global climate change summit when he attends the COP27 United Nations climate conference in Egypt next week, sources told Reuters on Wednesday. Lula plans to announce an overhaul of Brazil’s environmental policies at the summit in Sharm El Sheikh and the creation of a new national climate authority to oversee efforts by all ministries and agencies to combat global warming.The sources, that requested anonymity to be able to speak freely, said Lula will invite the United Nations to hold one of the next COPs in Brazil, possibly in 2025.
The incoming leftist president, who takes office on Jan. 1, has vowed to re-establish Brazil’s role as an important player in international efforts to address climate change after its reputation was damaged by far-right President Jair Bolsonaro.
