The Brazilian government were on the verge of announcing their emissions reduction targets and sharing numbers on how much they will reduce their greenhouse gas emissions but however they decided to sit back and wait at a time when the world is calling for ambitious actions on climate.

Carlos Alberto de Mattos Scaramuzza from WWF Brazil says that Brazil missed a golden opportunity to be a leader at the climate talks and the African group is showing much better more strength at these talks.

Brazil is the eighth largest emitter of greenhouse gases, and the third largest emitter in the developing world after China and India.

They play an important and unique role in climate change. It is one of the ten largest economies in the world and — most importantly for climate change — home to one of the greatest ecosystems and forests of the planet: the Amazon.
