Brazil's new government drawing few cheers from environmentalists
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Green advocates never were fans of the environmental policies of Dilma Rousseff, who this month was suspended as president of Brazil pending her impeachment trial for budgetary malfeasance. They felt that Rousseff, of the center-left Workers' Party (PT), routinely sided with pro-development interests on issues ranging from Amazon hydroelectric-dam construction to land clearing for agricultural expansion.
They're taking an even dimmer view of environmental-policy prospects under her interim successor-former Vice President Michel Temer, a conservative from the center-right Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB).
Temer, slated to serve until Jan. 1, 2019, the end of Rousseff's second four-year term, is expected to support ratification of carbon-emission targets Brazil made last year at the Paris climate summit. But his governing blueprint contains nothing on environmental protection, and early positions taken by members of his administration have raised concern about his commitment to forest conservation.
