Just this week, at the G20 Summit, outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden pledged $50 million to the fund."</p><p>x<br>"And yet, despite the government’s actions, environmental protections and Indigenous rights are still under threat. Lula is governing alongside the most pro-agribusiness congress in Brazilian history, which renders his ability to protect Brazil’s forests and Indigenous peoples in the long term severely constrained."</p><p>"Brazil’s equivalent to the House of Representatives, is made up of politicians from 19 different parties../\..Weak party cohesion makes it easier for interest groups to step into the vacuum and act as this coordination device."</p><p>"Agribusiness has long been one of the most powerful interest groups in Brazilian politics, but its influence has grown steadily over the past decade as the electorate shifted to the right and the sector developed more sophisticated strategies to affect politics."</p><p>"Today, the agrarian caucus is larger than any single party in the Brazilian legislature. "This gives them immense leverage towards any president.” </p><p>"Much of the coordination around the legislative agenda takes place away from congress (in) a think tank founded in 2011 and financed largely by major agribusiness corporations, including some in the U.S. and the European Union."<br>Among IPA’s main backers are <br>* Brazilian beef giant <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/JBS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JBS</span></a>, <br>* German pesticide producer <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BASF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BASF</span></a>, and the <br>* U.S.-based corporation <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Cargill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cargill</span></a></p><p>"The agrarian caucus has tallied several../\.. new legislation (on) use of pesticides, which Human Rights Watch called a “serious threat to the environment and the right to health,” removes barriers for previously banned substances and reduces the regulatory oversight of the health and environment agencies../\..Lula attempted to veto parts of the bill, but was overruled by congress."</p><p>"Another recent victory for the agrarian caucus came as a major blow to <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/IndigenousRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousRights</span></a>. Agribusiness has (for) called marco temporal (“time frame,” in English), which posits that Indigenous groups can only claim their traditional lands if they were occupying it in 1988, the year the current Brazilian constitution was drafted.<br>It disregards the fact that many Indigenous groups were expelled from their native lands long before that date."</p><p>"The theory had been making its way through the Brazilian justice system for 16 years, until it was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court last year. Blatantly flouting the court’s ruling, congress passed a bill codifying marco temporal into law. Lula tried to veto the bill, but he was overruled by the agrarian caucus again."</p><p>"The government has limited tools at its disposal to block anti-environmental legislation. In the past, the executive branch had greater control over discretionary spending and was able to use this to its advantage while negotiating with congress."</p><p>"Among projects which have a high likelihood of passing, like the <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BrazilsForestCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrazilsForestCode</span></a>, the key piece of legislation governing the use and management of forests. “It would make control much more difficult because illegal forms of deforestation would become legal,” said Araújo."</p><p>"The move could open almost 18 million hectares of forest to agricultural development. That is an area roughly the size of New York state, New Jersey, and Massachusetts combined."</p><p>"Another bill in the package removes protections for native grasslands, including large parts of the Cerrado and the Pantanal (the world’s largest tropical wetland). In theory this would affect 48 millions hectares of native vegetation"</p><p>"Yet another bill, which has already been approved in the Chamber of Deputies, overhauls the process of environmental licensing, essentially reducing it to a rubber stamp. "You might as well not have licensing legislation” said Araújo."</p><p>"Part of the reason many of these bills have a chance of passing is the Lula government’s limited leverage../\..During these negotiations, some environmentalists believe concerns over Brazil’s forests fall by the wayside."</p><p>"Araújo: “There are political agreements and negotiations that must be made. The bargaining chip cannot be environmental legislation.”</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/StopBurningThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopBurningThings</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/StopEcoside" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopEcoside</span></a> <br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateBreakDown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateBreakDown</span></a><br>@lesandrop</p>

The embargo on Russian fertilisers in the EU is now being blocked by… <a class="hashtag" href="https://agora.echelon.pl/tag/hungary" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hungary</a>. Poland is instead lobbying for customs import tariffs and in theory Germany should be its ally here, except BASF has already moved its production out of EU.</p><p>The same is now going through with European battery or heat pump manufacturers, while European PV production has long since moved out.</p><p>European policy on economy vs environment is bipolar and one gets the impression that the two lobbies are operating in an entire factual isolation from each other. </p><p>The ‘environmental fortress’ has dug in to its positions and continues to push ‘ambitious’ emission reduction policies by any means - including those that globally don’t work. Just because emissions in accounting terms ‘disappear’ from the EU does not mean that they have been eliminated globally if <strong>they reappear in China</strong> - the atmosphere is perfectly indifferent to <em>where</em> specifically CO2 is emitted.</p><p>And the transfer of carbon-intensive production (e.g. PV) from the EU to China leads to a net drastic increase in global emissions due to low environmental standards in China, coal power plus long distance transport.</p><p>The ‘economic fortress’ reacts to this in the only way available, i.e. by increasing imports - and this literally kills production inside the EU, i.e. exacerbates the aforementioned phenomenon. </p><p>The thing is that the imports are a form of compromise with the ‘environmental fortress’, which agrees to them because ‘what you can’t see, you don’t feel sorry for’. Every closed factory or mine in the EU is a ‘victory’ for them (never mind that it reappers in China, that’s ‘elsewhere’), and on top of that, production from China is cheap, which fits the ‘environmental’ narrative of ‘cheap renewables’. </p><p>And yes, <strong>they are cheap because they are produced in a totalitarian country with no respect for labour rights, environmental protection and with high-carbon energy.</strong> Added to this is the long-term cost of monopoly, as China already controls 80% of the global PV supply chain - not just manufacturing! Anyone opening a new PV factory still depends on Chinese raw materials.</p><p>And yes, this also applies to the USA, which - as one Polish activist recently argued to me - ‘became independent within a few years without a problem’, supposedly proving that the Chinese monopoly is not a problem. </p><p>And here we have another example of the bipolarity of the ‘environmental stronghold’, because <strong>everything the US has been doing in recent years in order to increase competitiveness - pragmatism in terms of reducing emissions and import tariffs - is perfectly opposite to what the EU is doing.</strong></p>
