Renewable energy industry groups in Brazil joined calls for emergency action to stop fires that have been destroying the Amazon forest for weeks and have made the nation's government the target of international outrage.
“We believe it is essential that the government prioritises policies and actions that protect the Amazon forest and its resources. Each part of the Amazon that we do not protect means that we leave a worse planet to future generations,” said Élbia Silva Gannoun, CEO at Brazilian Wind Power Association ABEEólica.
