![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Cooperation is sometimes necessary to have better result and more effective effect. As people know, deforestation in Brazil is world-wide issue. There is glad a news that US and Brazil have planned to restore the deforested land and increase the renewable energy use.
It is a well known fact that climate change is the global deal of the 21st century. The place that I live (São Paulo) is supposed to be colder in winter but the temperature is much higher than the average annual temperature. I wear short shirts and pants these days. People are suffering from lack of water and animal lose the habitats where the water is necessary.
In light of this, US decided to have partnership with Brazil and agreed to receive their 20% electricity from renewable power by 2030. Brazil will also put an effort to restore 12m hectares of forest, which is expected to decrease the carbon pollution that causes climate change.
Regardless of rich and poor countries, they have committed to reduce emissions. Brazil will increase renewable energy sources between 28% and 33% of total energy by 2030 as well. This announces for both Brazil and US will be a challengeable target but will generate the new low-cost chances for the American economy.
I have felt climate change strongly in my daily life. This issue become serious issues cross world to human beings as well as animals and plants. It will be very challengeable to solve the problem. However, the intention of the two countries announcement shall deliver the messages to other countries and raise awareness to take an action for further step.
