Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva criticized the loss of central importance of the climate issue in international debates dominated by wars, inflation, and commercial tensions. Last year, when President Lula was visiting COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, he emphasized that the climate issue had not been considered as a primary goal of international debate. 'Let's talk more about arms and taxes than about the survival of future generations,' he said, denouncing the risk that energy transition would be seen as an obstacle to security and prosperity. Rich countries have developed at the expense of the planet and must maintain their commitments, he added, highlighting that climate crisis is also a social justice and inequality issue between states.

The important thing is that multilateralism must be kept in mind. 'To sabotage the climate regime means destroying what the multilateral system has of best.' Priorities include increasing funding, gradual abandonment of fossil fuels, and combating deforestation.
