Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has taken center stage on the international climate agenda in recent days as Brazil hosted COP30 in Belém. At the close of the People’s Summit last Sunday, Lula’s message was delivered by Minister Marina Silva, emphasizing that COP30 depends fundamentally on broad social participation and reiterating his administration’s goal to achieve zero deforestation by 2030. Lula stressed the urgent need for a shift toward sustainable development, tying environmental protection directly to global efforts to end poverty and the climate crisis, according to the official COP30 news release.

During this pivotal conference, Lula personally hosted world leaders including United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, who held private meetings with Lula and attended several thematic climate sessions. Lula’s opening address set a confrontational tone against climate denialism and disinformation, insisting that it is time to face reality and fight fake news. The UNFCCC officially quoted Lula underscoring that “climate change is no longer a threat of the future; it is a tragedy of the present,” and calling for a united front against those who reject scientific evidence.

The World Economic Forum reported Lula’s words as delegates entered the final, high-stakes week of COP30, where he advocated for urgent, coordinated action and pressed nations to deliver on promises for climate financing and a roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels. Behind the scenes, Lula’s government negotiated a landmark declaration prioritizing information integrity in climate discourse, which has already received endorsements from several leading economies.

On the home front, Lula’s climate agenda is both lauded and criticized. Human Rights Watch reported today that Brazil’s Congress will soon review the General Environmental Licensing Law, which Lula partially vetoed in August to preserve key environmental protections—an episode showing his willingness to confront entrenched interests even at political cost.

Yet, Lula faces criticism, as highlighted by Democracy Now, for his contradictory support of new oil and gas exploration in the Amazon, a move at odds with his government’s celebrated Amazon deforestation reductions. Critics say Brazil cannot reach its climate targets without ending such fossil fuel expansion, while Lula has justified oil revenues as necessary to finance a green energy transition—though an actionable “just energy transition” plan has yet to be formally presented.

On social media, Lula’s words and actions have trended globally under the COP30 hashtag, with supporters applauding his environmental ambition and critics spotlighting the oil drilling controversy. There are no notable business initiatives or public appearances beyond his packed COP30 schedule, but his repeated calls for multilateral action and fierce anti-denialism stance have attracted significant international press coverage.
