Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro said on Thursday that the country would reach climate neutrality by 2050, moving up the previous target for reaching net zero emissions by 10 years.

Speaking at a summit of world leaders, right-wing Bolsonaro repeated a commitment made last week to end illegal deforestation by 2030, adding that it would reduce the country's emissions by roughly 50%.
