The former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro contributed to deforestation with statements opposing forest conservation. This is shown by an international study led by the University of Bonn. According to this, the destruction of the Amazon rainforest accelerated considerably when Bolsonaro and his ministers posted anti-forest-conservation messages on Twitter. Brazil’s environmental authorities were greatly weakened during Bolsonaro’s term of office. Irrespective of this, the analysis shows that even the perception of a low risk of punishment was a relevant driver of deforestation. The researchers estimate that up to 1,700 square kilometers of forest – almost double the area of Berlin – were destroyed due to the power of words. The results have been published in The Journal of Politics. 

The quality of European rivers has improved in recent years, but not at the pace required to meet the environmental targets set for 2030.

Analysis of data available between 2015 and 2021 shows that organic pollution decreased in 14 of the 18 countries studied, while phosphate concentrations fell in 11 of the 16 countries for which sufficient information was available. However, these improvements alone do not guarantee that the targets set for the end of this decade will be met.
