About this listen
It's been quite an eventful few days for Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the President of Brazil. Recently, Lula made headlines by inviting prominent leaders, including U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, to attend the upcoming COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil. During his speech in Belém, Lula emphasized the importance of global cooperation on climate issues, urging wealthy nations to support forest preservation and improve living conditions in the Amazon. This move highlights Lula's commitment to using Brazil as a model for climate defense worldwide.
In another significant development, Lula announced a groundbreaking initiative called the Tropical Forests Forever Fund (TFFF), which aims to establish a massive global investment fund for forest conservation. This fund, a finalist for the 2025 Earthshot Prize, proposes a new financing model that assigns economic value to standing forests, providing long-term incentives for tropical countries to maintain their forest conservation efforts. Lula has pledged a $1 billion investment to the TFFF, marking Brazil as the first country to commit to the initiative.
Lula has also been involved in local events, such as inaugurating various projects in Belém. In a recent statement, he shunned luxury, opting to stay on a boat during COP30 to show solidarity and commitment to simplicity.
On a diplomatic front, there are reports of efforts to arrange a meeting between Lula and Donald Trump, potentially at an ASEAN summit. However, this remains speculative at this stage.
In the world of science, Lula delivered a video message at the 17th TWAS General Conference in Rio de Janeiro, which celebrated the importance of science in society.
