Brazil, which is hosting the 30th U.N. Climate Change Conference this month, wants to show the world it is a leader in safeguarding the planet. Its record tells a more complicated story.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil wants to reduce carbon emissions and deforestation, but has also wants to drill for oil in the Amazon region.
The authorities said the deadliest operation in Rio’s history had killed four police officers and at least 60 other people. It was an attack on “narco-terrorists,” the state governor said.
He was asked to cater a climate event for Prince William and 700 guests. But omitting the famous Amazonian fish was like “asking Iron Maiden to play jazz.”
The Earthshot Prize, an environmental award founded by Prince William, required a plant-based menu for a dinner in Rio de Janeiro next month. The Brazilian chef initially selected for the event, Saulo Jennings, was surprised to learn he could not serve Amazonian fish.
