Brazil’s Environmental Integrity Not Damaged By Oil Exploration, Says Ambassador

Brazil’s chief negotiator at the next UN conference on climate change has defended the exploration of pre-salt layer oil reserves, arguing that this does not damage Brazil’s credibility at meetings such as the COP-19, due to be held next week in Warsaw, Poland.

Human use of fossil fuels (oil, coal and natural gas) is one of the principal sources of the emission of greenhouse gases.

Brazil’s ambassador, José Antonio Marcondes de Carvalho, rejected the criticism. “In no way is there a contradiction,” he said. “Brazil is not the only oil producer in the world. We are merely beginning the exploration of a natural resource which lie within our territory.”

The diplomat argued that Brazil’s credibility is “completely intact.” “Even more so, since Brazil has already volunteered to make significant reductions in emissions,” he said.
