The documents address the two largest drivers of climate change — energy, at 75% of emissions, and forest loss, at 11% — but are voluntary and non-prescriptive, with no obligations, national targets or accountability mechanisms, according to TNC Brasil. Annual forest finance needs to jump from $84.5 billion in 2023 to more than $300 billion in 2030.BrazilClimate https://sagire.online/wire/dcfea279/https://sagire.online/wire/dcfea279/Tue, 03 Nov 2026 20:22:00 -0300An understanding between pro-government and opposition senators cleared the way for a vote on a proposal to lower the age of criminal responsibility this Wednesday (4), one day after approval of the Public Security Constitutional Amendment Proposal (PEC). The move, however, faces disagreements inside the Workers’ Party (PT), as lawmakers debate different criteria for holding teenagers criminally responsible.BrazilPublic security https://sagire.online/wire/a0b16be4/https://sagire.online/wire/a0b16be4/Tue, 03 Nov 2026 19:22:00 -0300The Senate plenary approved in two rounds on Tuesday the Proposed Constitutional Amendment (PEC) on Public Security, keeping the version sent by the Chamber of Deputies and leaving out the reduction of the age of criminal responsibility. The vote was 73 to zero in the first round and 75 to zero in the second. The proposal writes the Unified Public Security System (Susp) into the Constitution, a system created by law in 2018 that provides for coordination among security agencies at different levels of government. At least 49 votes in favor were required in each round to approve the constitutional change.BrazilPublic security https://sagire.online/wire/80fabf55/https://sagire.online/wire/80fabf55/Tue, 03 Nov 2026 13:25:00 -0300Rystad Energy cut Brazil’s announced data center pipeline by roughly two-thirds, from 21 GW to about 7 GW, citing regulatory uncertainty, severe grid congestion and limited access to reliable power. Under the Redata tax regime (Law No. 15,504/2026), enacted in September, the tax exemptions are neither automatic nor permanent: they are time-bound and contingent on meeting strict operational criteria. Still pending is the decision on whether natural gas generation qualifies as low-emission power. Bill 3716/2026, which reallocates battery storage integration costs from generators to all system users, is being fast-tracked in Congress and must be approved before the Brazilian electricity regulator ANEEL holds its inaugural capacity auction in December.BrazilData centersEnergy https://sagire.online/wire/be6636f1/https://sagire.online/wire/be6636f1/Tue, 03 Nov 2026 10:22:00 -0300Brazil’s government presented on Tuesday the world’s first global roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels, arguing that countries can break their dependence on coal, oil and gas without waiting for new technologies, according to the Guardian. The roadmaps are not binding, contain no deadlines or milestones and leave it to each country to diagnose its own dependence on fossil fuels before choosing policies. Among the suggested steps are urgently cutting the flaring and venting of gas at extraction sites, reducing fossil fuel subsidies and expanding renewable generation. The forests roadmap estimates that about US$300 billion a year will be needed by 2030 and US$500 billion a year by 2050, against about US$85 billion available today. André Corrêa do Lago, Brazil’s president of the UN climate summit (COP30), said the roadmaps are documents of implementation and should be taken up by finance, transport, energy and infrastructure ministries in each country. Joeri Rogelj, a professor at Imperial College London, said the roadmaps are valuable but fall short of indicating the pace of change needed because they include no timeline or key benchmarks.BrazilClimate https://sagire.online/wire/73e2b369/https://sagire.online/wire/73e2b369/Sun, 01 Nov 2026 21:22:00 -0300According to G1, Argentina’s migration system recorded three entries by Flávio Bolsonaro in the same van — at 10:37 p.m. with an Italian passport, at 10:40 p.m. with a driver’s license and at 11:11 p.m. with a Brazilian passport.
