Interestingly, related to my previous post, the Brazilian government just launched a program offering up to R$30 billion (~€4.3 billion) in subsidized loans to finance new more sustainable vehicles for ride-hailing and taxi drivers.

Although Brazil still faces infrastructure challenges, especially outside major cities, electric vehicles adoption may accelerate much faster than expected in dense urban regions with expensive fuel and heavy traffic.

That might explain why Merz was so eager to leave Belém during COP30, less risk of being inspired.

The US absent from COP30 in Brazil — the first time since 1995 no delegation went. https://twp.ai/9OWdYB calls it the most significant setback for US climate policy to date. The predatory financial machinery learned long ago: you don't repeal climate law. You make the trade terms worse than the law.
