Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has called on the world’s biggest economies to improve their climate goals. The targets aim to cut emissions of gases that cause climate change. The Brazilian president made the call on the second and final day of this year’s G20 summit in Brazil.
On the first day of the meeting, Lula had used his opening address to focus on presumed common ground: "Hunger and poverty are not the result of scarcity or natural phenomena; they are the product of political decisions," he said at Rio’s Museum of Modern Art. "In a world that produces almost 6 billion tons of food per year, this is unacceptable. It is for those of us here, around this table, to face the undelayable task of ending this stain that shames humanity. That will be our biggest legacy."
