THE 'Earth Charter' also recalls that, due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and sanctions against Russian natural gas, the world has returned to burning coal – which goes against the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, he states that Brazil and other countries with tropical forests can be compensated for increasing their carbon absorption capacity. But he reinforces: first we have to combat the deforestation e burned in the national territory – which have increased in recent times.
