View from Brazil: Building a climate movement

View from Brazil: Building a climate movement

by Global Power Shift | Thomson Reuters Foundation

Nicole Oliveira hails from São Paulo, where climate change has worsened flooding and landslides. The extreme weather has already created major traffic problems in her city, and she worries that rising deforestation and Brazil’s new push into offshore oil drilling could raise the country’s emissions.

Climate change “has no borders and it’s the most urgent issue that has to be solved,” she says. “I’m very much motivated because I know that the solution is in the hands of industry and the people who profit, and not the people who are impacted.”
