Brazil president calls for global government on ‘climate change’
Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva last week called for the formation of a world government to impose policies related to “climate change” and suggested the United Nations be outfitted for that purpose.
Lula made the remarks in a broadcast at the start of the Amazon Summit hosted in Belém, Pará, where eight South American countries converged to discuss protection of the Amazon rainforests.
“Brazil has been investing in a new global governance,” Lula announced, explaining that without a global authority, countries will remain sovereign and pass their own laws about “climate change.”
“If you make a decision here in Belém about the climate issue and there isn’t a commitment to comply, it goes back to the national state, and the congresses don’t always approve and then things don’t work,” he said.
“So, we have to have a new global governance. The UN has to be transformed. The UN cannot remain with the same structure that was created in 1945,” Lula added.
Lula’s statement comes as the United Nations prepares to convene a “no-nonsense” climate conference next month. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned there will be "no room for back-sliders, greenwashers, blame-shifters" at the Climate Ambition Summit on September 30th.
Guterres, a climate alarmist who has called for businesses not compliant with “net zero” mandates to be shut down, has demanded UN member states award the body sweeping unilateral power to respond to “global shocks.”
“I propose that the General Assembly provide the Secretary-General and the United Nations system with a standing authority to convene and operationalize automatically an Emergency Platform in the event of a future complex global shock of sufficient scale, severity and reach,” wrote Guterres in a proposal titled “Our Common Agenda” which received support from the Biden administration.
Without defining the term “global shocks,” the UN chief invoked COVID-19 and the 2022 “cost of living crisis” as examples and warned that more global shocks — driven by factors such as “climate change,” cyberattacks, or events involving “biological agents” — are impending.
Guterres’ main concern is that global shocks may compromise the UN's Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, an agenda which pins global crises such as poverty, hunger and unemployment, on the climate. The goals, agreed to by all member states in 2015, demand that governments establish frameworks which compel civil societies and the private sector to “fight climate change” and enforce “social inclusion.”
In addition to its 2030 Agenda, the globalist leader is concerned that global shocks may affect “gender goals” which also remain undefined.
Therefore, in order to properly respond to global shocks, Guterres says member states should submit to his Emergency Platform, which so far remains open-ended. Should they do so, governments will have to create policies and dedicate significant resources to accommodate the protocol.
Earlier this year, the Lula administration considered declaring a state of climate emergency in 1,038 cities considered “vulnerable.”
“There is a suggestion that is being debated within the government to declare a permanent state of climate emergency in municipalities that are proven to be vulnerable so that there is continued action,” said Brazil Environment and Climate Change Minister Marina Silva. “We are living under the effect of climate change that is getting worse every day,” she added, suggesting that public resources be allocated to “fight climate change.”
