Thank you, Brazil, for demonstrating how the far right can be trounced(被彻底击败) while protection for the Amazon is strengthened. In a world where nature and democracy appeared to be bleeding out in tandem(一同失血而亡), voters and forest defenders in this global south(全球南方) powerhouse have shown it is possible to staunch the flow(止住流失). This should provide much needed inspiration and, more practically, a playbook(行动指南、战术手册) for social and environmental movements in other countries facing elections, including the US, Spain and France.
谢谢你,巴西,你向世人证明:击败极右翼与加强亚马孙保护可以同时做到。在一个自然与民主似乎正一同失血而亡的世界里,这个全球南方强国的选民和森林守护者表明,止血是可能的。这应当带来人们亟需的鼓舞,更实际地说,还为美国、西班牙、法国等即将迎来选举的国家的社会运动与环保运动提供了一份行动指南。
The astonishing comeback(逆转、东山再起) victory of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Sunday’s presidential runoff(第二轮决选) against his extreme right challenger Flavío Bolsonaro has brought oceans of rapturous supporters(无数狂喜的支持者) on to the streets, while also thrilling conservationists(自然保护主义者), climate activists and social justice campaigners across the world.
卢拉·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦在周日总统选举第二轮投票中击败极右翼对手弗拉维奥·博索纳罗,这场惊人的逆转胜利让无数欣喜若狂的支持者涌上街头,也让世界各地的自然保护者、气候活动人士和社会正义倡导者欢欣鼓舞。
Coming just weeks after the Lula administration announced a record fall in Amazon and Cerrado destruction, they hope Brazil can now go on to achieve its target of zero deforestation by 2030 and continue to support a global transition away from fossil fuels.(就在卢拉政府宣布亚马孙与塞拉多毁林量创纪录下降几周后,他们希望巴西能继续实现2030年零毁林目标,并继续支持全球摆脱化石燃料的转型。) That would provide a huge boost to flagging(日渐乏力的) global efforts to stabilise the climate and protect degraded(退化的、受损的) ecosystems. It would also set a remarkable example of leadership by the global south.
就在卢拉政府宣布亚马孙与塞拉多地区毁林量创纪录下降几周之后,他们希望巴西如今能够继续推进,实现到2030年零毁林的目标,并继续支持全球摆脱化石燃料的转型。这将极大地提振全球在稳定气候、保护退化生态系统方面日渐乏力的努力,也将为全球南方的领导力树立一个非凡榜样。
