Brazil’s Lula heads to Cop31 on first trip since re-election

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva flew to Turkey to attend Cop31 on Monday, marking his first international trip since his surprise re-election two weeks ago.

This year’s United Nations Climate Change Conference will take place in the Turkish city of Antalya from November 9 to 20.

“We are going to show the world how Brazil is setting an example in environmental preservation and energy transition, fundamental pillars of our sustainable development,” Lula said in an Instagram post.
