In a televised address, he said that wildfires could happen in any country and shouldnt be used as an excuse for international sanctions. The fires are scattered widely across the amazon, most notably in the north of brazil. Theyre the most intense in the region for almost a decade as camilla mota reports from there. The flames in the amazon continue to rage, thousands of fires, almost impossible to control. This is the worlds biggest rainforest and carbon store, home to 20 million people. We travelled to one area on the fringe of the rainforest, where the flames have devoured huge areas. Firefighters in the state of rondonia, one of the most affected by the amazon fires, have been working here for the past two weeks, trying to p
Scale but it is causing a great deal of International Concern and it is going to be a key issue on the agenda of the upcoming g. 7 summit that is taking place in the south in berets in france and lets just bring you a bit more on that now because Climate Change will be a key issue in that french seaside summit on saturday but after last years acrimonious meeting in canada expectations are low that much can be achieved this year and as weve heard matt brown a muckle want those amazon wildfires to be part of a why discussion on the Climate Crisis there are other issues to consider as well the leaders of the most advanced economies.
