Macron and Lula launch green investment program for the Amazon. The world's largest rainforest plays a vital role against global warming by absorbing carbon emissions.
Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon was halved in 2023, a success for Lula who promised to stop the phenomenon by 2030. “You have even stronger energy every time I see you again (...), even more in shape, ready to lead the fight. Very modestly I wanted to say that we will continue to lead it alongside you,” Mr. Macron said to the old indigenous leader.
