The climate and environmental crisis was ignored by almost all government plans of the main candidates for the presidency of Brazil, despite the deaths of Brazilians from floods, landslides and windstorms and the degradation of the environment. The finding comes from a report released by the Climate Observatory (OC), which analyzed the programs of the six best-positioned candidates in the electoral polls.
According to the report, only Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) presents robust proposals for climate and the environment. The plan of the PT candidate is considered the most "green" by the institution, dedicating an exclusive chapter to the environment and presenting a consistent agenda.
Lula's program is the only one to cite the Paris Agreement, an international treaty on climate change adopted in 2015. However, the document also repeats critical contradictions regarding environmental proposals.
