A photo-op with Jair Bolsonaro, anyone?


The European Union must understand that a promise in a trade deal is no substitute for a deforestation control policy – something that’s awfully lacking in Brazil under its far-right regime, writes Marcio Astrini.
Marcio Astrini is the executive director of Observatório do Clima, a network of 63 Brazilian civil society organisations.
According to a famous quote misattributed to Albert Einstein, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. The European Union’s desperate attempt to ratify a trade deal with the South American Mercosur bloc fits the definition perfectly.
Since 2019, some European leaders have been fooling themselves into believing that the EU-Mercosur Free Trade Agreement would magically force Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro into protecting the Amazon rainforest, indigenous peoples, and the climate. ....

The EU adaptation strategy is everybody's cup of coffee  – EURACTIV.com


The EU Adaptation Strategy presents not only priorities for action, but a vision of how adaptation to climate change should take place, writes Richard J. T. Klein.
Richard J. T. Klein is a senior research fellow at the Stockholm Environment Institute, a non-profit research and policy group.
From now on, ‘just resilience’ will be a guiding concept for climate adaptation in Europe. The entire Commission, all EU institutions and EU member states will need to take note.
As strategies go, this one is pretty good. It observes the EU’s principle of subsidiarity by not getting in the way of what is already happening at local, regional and national levels. And yet the EU Adaptation Strategy raises the profile of adaptation to climate change as a key element of the European Green Deal and identifies opportunities for the EU to advance adaptation at all levels. ....

Brazil eyes opportunities to strengthen fresh-fruit ties with UK post-Brexit


Brazil eyes opportunities to strengthen fresh-fruit ties with UK post-Brexit
February 08 , 2021
In 2020, the UK ranked as the world’s second-largest importer of fresh fruits from Brazil, after the Netherlands, according to data from The Brazilian Fruit Exporters’ Association ( Abrafrutas ). During that year, the UK absorbed 16.2 per cent of Brazil’s supply, or 141,136 tonnes, worth US$124.9 million in value.
In light of Brexit, the Covid-19 pandemic, shifting consumer demand and the diversification of Brazil’s offer, coupled with production innovation, PBUK explores what the future holds for UK buyers. We speak with Abrafrutas and the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency ( Apex-Brasil ), as well as top exporters: Fischer , Argofruta (owned by Total Produce ), and Labrunier (owned by El Ciruelo). Additionally, we hear from UK buyer VIDAfresh ; the largest European importer of Brazilian melons, and a leading importer of other Brazilian produce lines. ....
