In August 2024, Brazil faced a significant increase in wildfires. Prolonged droughts and above-average temperatures created favorable conditions for these fires, with evidence suggesting that human activities also played a role. In response, the government highlighted suspicions of criminal activities related to the fires. The Federal Police initiated investigations, opening 31 inquiries, including two in São Paulo, where over 30% of the fire outbreaks on August 23 and 24 were detected. The government mobilized resources to control and prevent wildfires, aiming to mitigate environmental impacts and preserve ecosystems. The government deployed over 3,000 brigade members, with significant efforts concentrated in the Amazon region, which experienced its worst drought in 40 years. The government also utilized aircraft and military personnel to support firefighting operations. Additionally, Brazil, as a prominent voice in the G20, advocated for global actions to reduce climate change damage, emphasizing the importance of coordinated international efforts to address environmental challenges.
