Brazil's Congress passes bill easing environmental licensing rules

Hindustan Times

July 18, 2025

Brazil's Congress passed a controversial reform loosening environmental licensing rules on Thursday, prompting backlash from environmentalists as the country prepares to host the COP30 climate summit in November.

The bill, backed by 267 lawmakers to 116, simplifies permits for “strategic” projects and allows some to proceed based solely on a declaration of commitment.

Despite seeking to make Brazil a leader in the fight against global warming, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva backs oil exploration as key to growth in Latin America’s biggest economy.
