How Lula strengthened Brazil’s environmental policies | DW News

World leaders are meeting for a special summit on climate change on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. But there's a twist - the only ones allowed to speak are those who bring new and meaningful action to the table.
That's on orders from UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. He's convened the Climate Ambition Summit.
