The incoming president of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva re-entered the country into the fight against global warming on Wednesday, while world leaders reiterated significant commitments, giving the UN climate negotiations a boost.

Tuesday marked Lula’s arrival in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, where he immediately got to work on climate diplomacy by meeting with John Kerry of the United States and Xie Zhenhua of China.

“Brazil is back in the world to debate the climate issue,” Lula tweeted on Tuesday, adding, “We will be a source of pride for the world.”

In his first international trip after defeating incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro, who presided over years of rampant Amazon deforestation, Lula, who was president from 2003 to 2010, is anticipated to give the COP27 climate talks much-needed momentum.

Lula is scheduled to speak at the COP27 summit on Wednesday afternoon to discuss his “zero deforestation” goal.

Kerry stated on Wednesday that the United States would collaborate with other countries to help safeguard the Amazon in a COP27 biodiversity panel.
