President-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva participated, this Wednesday (16), in a sustainable economy panel at COP27 where he received from the governor of Pará, Helder Barbalho, the letter signed by nine governors for a common climate transition agenda for the Amazon. Lula said that the country needs to come out of isolation and confirmed that he will ask the UN for the Amazon to host the conference in 2025. “I'm going to talk to the secretary about holding the COP in Pará or Amazonas,” he said.

If the candidacy is approved, it will be the first Climate Conference held in Brazil – and in Amazon. At the end of Michel Temer's administration, the country presented to the ONU a proposal to host COP25 in 2019, but the offer was withdrawn under Jair Bolsonaro's government.
