Lula has been pressuring the country\u2019s environmental regulators to approve exploratory drilling near the mouth of the Amazon River, despite them previously saying no. He says revenue from this new fossil fuel supply could help finance a transition to green energy.<\/p>\n<p>The site of this exploration is around 160km off the east coast of Brazil. It is located in a region known as the Equatorial Margin, which runs from Rio Grande do Norte to Amap\u00e1, where there are thought to be significant oil and gas fields. A license for exploratory drilling was rejected by Ibama, the country\u2019s environmental regulator, in 2023. It said this was due to a weak plan for the protection of wildlife &#8211; a spill at the site would have devastating effects on one of the most biodiverse regions of the world.<\/p>\n<p>Lula was greeted by protesters when he arrived in Bel\u00e9m last Friday to announce federal investments for COP30. Environmental activists from 350.org, the Amazonian Working Network (GTA), the Maraj\u00f3 Observatory, the Pororoka collective and Engajamundo unfurled a banner that read \u2018Destroying the Amazon for oil and gas is not worth the price\u2019.&#8217; \u201cOil exploration at the mouth of Amazon is a disregard for the human rights of local communities, including the right to land, water and health,\u201d said the executive director of Maraj\u00f3 Observatory, Valma Teles.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/02\/17\/brazils-lula-defends-oil-exploration-in-the-amazon-as-a-way-to-finance-green-energy\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/7-668\/\">Brazil\u2019s Lula defends oil exploration in the Amazon as a way to finance green energy<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[1177,1576,575,17990],"class_list":["post-137575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-amazon","tag-brazil","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-oil-exploration"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137575"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137575\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
