On the second day of the UN climate negotiations in Antalya, Turkey, Brazil presented to countries a roadmap for the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.
The document, prepared for COP31, proposes a "transition away from fossil fuels" and highlights various "levers" that states can use to move away from coal, oil and gas in favor of wind and solar.
Brazil, which organized last year's conference in Belém, designed the plan so that each country could choose the tools suited to its own conditions and context.
Among the key actions are halting the construction of new fossil fuel power plants and reducing subsidies for fossil fuels.
Brazil's representative Toni noted that some consider such a transition impossible, but the roadmap shows it is inevitable.
At the same time, Brazil itself possesses the world's largest expanse of Amazon rainforest, significant oil deposits, and remains a major exporter of fossil fuels.
How will countries be able to adapt these levers to their own realities?
The plan emerged at a moment when the negotiations in Antalya are focused on practical steps to implement previous agreements on emissions reductions.
