Episode: COP27 and what Brazil’s new president could mean for the Amazon
Description: Sky News ClimateCast returns with climate journalist and broadcaster, Tom Heap. This week, Tom looks at the big stories from the COP27 summit in Egypt where Rishi Sunak promised continued support, but no extra UK funding, for conserving forests around the world. A group of 25 countries said they’d hold each other accountable to stick to a pledge to end deforestation by the end of the decade. Although not part of that group, Brazil’s incoming president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva did attend COP to discuss new ways of protecting forests with world leaders.
