Press statement by brazilian NGO Observat\u00f3rio do Clima<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the final hours of the International Conference for the Transition Away from Fossil Fuels, in Santa Marta, Colombia, the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira, released a proposal for a National Energy Transition Plan that keeps oil, gas, and coal in Brazil\u2019s energy mix until 2055.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Brazilian NGO Observat\u00f3rio do Clima does not recognize Silveira\u00b4s proposal as Brazil\u2019s roadmap to overcome its dependence on fossil fuels, commissioned in December by President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva. The roadmap should come from an interministerial effort, with social participation, and, of course, it should propose a real energy transition\u2014not the continued production, export, and consumption of fossil fuels beyond mid-century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is embarrassing for Brazil, which was praised as the proponent of roadmaps in Santa Marta, that a transition plan that does not propose any transition is presented by one of Lula\u2019s ministers while 60 countries are trying to have a serious debate here in Colombia about how to move away from fossil fuels,\u201d said Claudio Angelo, International Policy Coordinator at Observat\u00f3rio do Clima. \u201cIn fact, embarrassing President Lula seems to be a specialty of Minister Alexandre Silveira, who in the recent past used a climate conference to announce Brazil\u2019s entry into OPEC+,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Observat\u00f3rio do Clima calls on the other ministries involved in drafting the roadmap guidelines (Finance, Environment, and the Chief of Staff\u2019s Office) to remain committed in producing them, and for Lula to resolve the impasse with the Ministry of Mines and Energy in order to uphold his promise of a genuine national roadmap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
