Diplomatic tensions over climate change are set to dominate the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro, as leaders gather to address pressing global issues. With U.N. climate talks in Azerbaijan stalled over climate finance, the G20, which represents 85% of the global economy and over three-quarters of greenhouse gas emissions, holds the key to mobilizing significant funding for climate initiatives.
Brazil's Senate has approved a bill to establish a regulated carbon market aimed at reducing emissions and increasing forested areas. The legislation will return to the lower house for further debate and requires President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's approval. This initiative aligns with Brazil's commitment to cut emissions by 67% by 2035 and is a priority as the country prepares to host COP30 in Belem next year.
Brazil's plans for crucial spending cuts are stalled as President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva grapples with the potential social impact on vulnerable populations. Ongoing discussions among ministries have not led to significant progress, as Lula weighs which social programs might face reductions to address the budget deficit.
Brazil is seeking to partner with SpaceSail, a Chinese satellite manufacturer, to rival Elon Musk's Starlink internet service following a dispute with the billionaire. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has proposed the use of a military space base in northeastern Brazil for the venture, coinciding with Xi Jinping's upcoming visit.
Brazilian analysts have raised their forecasts for the benchmark Selic interest rate, anticipating it will reach 11.5% by December 2025, up from a previous estimate of 11.25%. Projections for 2026 and 2027 have also been adjusted to 9.75% and 9.25%, respectively, amid concerns over President Lula da Silva's fiscal discipline. The estimate for next month remains unchanged at 11.75%.
Brazil's Central Bank believes investor concerns over the country's fiscal outlook are overstated, as the finance ministry and monetary authority anticipate a plan to cut public spending will restore confidence in fiscal rules. This strategy aims to reduce pressure for more aggressive interest rate hikes.
Brazil's Finance Minister Fernando Haddad has gained support from Rui Costa, President Lula's chief of staff, for an austerity plan aimed at addressing investor concerns over the country's fiscal health. They have agreed on spending cut measures to be submitted to the president for approval, with an announcement expected soon.
Brazil's real has weakened further as Finance Minister Fernando Haddad declined to confirm the extent of proposed spending cuts, expressing uncertainty about figures reported by local media. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's administration is working on measures to address growing investor concerns over the country's fiscal deficits.
The COP Troika, comprising the UAE, Azerbaijan, and Brazil, has reiterated its commitment to submit 1.5C-aligned climate action plans by year-end but has faced criticism for lacking specific targets amid expanding fossil fuel ambitions. Experts emphasize the need for clear, measurable emissions reduction goals across all sectors to ensure effective implementation and avoid "creative accounting." As global emissions must peak before 2025 to limit warming, the upcoming NDCs are seen as crucial for climate action.
