Brazil's Congress has passed the highly controversial "Devastation Bill," triggering alarm among environmentalists, scientists and Indigenous groups. The bill drastically weakens Brazil's environmental licensing system, allowing companies to self-approve high-impact projects with minimal oversight. It also excludes untitled Indigenous and quilombola lands from impact assessments, despite many being under threat. Critics call it the worst environmental rollback in over 40 years. President Lula, who will host COP30 later this year, now has 15 working days to veto or approve the legislation. With global eyes watching and pressure mounting, Lula's decision could shape Brazil's environmental legacy. --- Brazil | President Lula | Devastation Bill | COP30 | Brazil Anti-Environment Bill | Planet Pulse | Climate News | Environment | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #brazil #climate #cop30 #environment #planetpulse #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
