A public opinion survey conducted by Genial Investimentos in partnership with Quaest and released this Tuesday (11) reveals a technical tie between Brazilians who believe that COP30 will bring positive results for the country and those who believe that the event will not make a difference for Brazil.
According to the survey, 41% of respondents believe that the Climate Conference, held this year in Belém (PA), will have positive impacts, while another 41% say that the meeting will have no practical effect.
Another 7% believe that COP30 will bring more harm than good, and 11% did not know or preferred not to comment. The survey interviewed 2.004 Brazilians aged 16 or older between November 6 and 9, before the start of the event. The margin of error is two percentage points, plus or minus.
Support for oil exploration in the Equatorial Margin is growing.
Another topic addressed by the research was oil exploration in the Equatorial Margin – an issue that has gained traction in the political and energy debate, especially after the Federal Government signaled interest in evaluating the technical feasibility of the activity in the region.
The survey reveals a shift in public perception: the percentage opposed to the exploration fell from 70% in October to 49% in November, while support for the initiative rose from 26% to 42%. Those who didn't know or preferred not to answer increased from 4% to 9%.
According to the study, the variation reflects a growing dilemma in today's society between economic advancement and environmental preservation. While environmentalists warn of the risks to marine biodiversity, some sectors of industry and the economy argue that oil still plays a strategic role in energy security and national development.
What is COP 30?
What is COP 30?The COP (Conference of the Parties) is the annual meeting promoted by the UN (United Nations) with the objective of discussing global actions to combat global warming.
The meeting brings together world leaders to negotiate agreements, review targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and discuss solutions to environmental challenges around the world.
The conference emerged after Eco-92 (or Rio-92), held in Brazil 33 years ago, when more than 160 countries signed the treaty that gave rise to the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change).
The first COP took place in 1995 in Berlin, Germany – and, three decades later, Brazil is hosting the event again, now with COP30, in Belém (PA).
