National On October 25th, the Brazilian federal government launched the National Green Growth Program, which should be presented at COP26 that began on October 31st and ends on November 12th, in Glasgow. Brazil has been singled out as a “climate villain” on the international stage, largely due to the speeches of President Jair Bolsonaro and the bad image left in previous negotiations.
The program defines actions of ten ministries, with credit lines up to US$ 70,5 billion (R$ 400 billion).
