Brazil's Supreme Court recognized the voluntary pact as constitutional but upheld state rules removing tax incentives from participating companies. The ruling preserves the instrument in law, yet does not reverse major traders' withdrawal or restore its operational force.
Five of the 178 Indigenous candidates in 2022 reached the Chamber of Deputies, where the cocar caucus faces a ruralist bloc holding about 60% of the 513 seats. Its strategy combines land demarcation, social legislation and cross-party dialogue ahead of October's election.
INPE's Deter system recorded 2,874.38 km² under alert from August 2025 through July 2026, the lowest level in the comparable series and 55.6% below the decade average. The signal is encouraging, but it is not yet the official annual rate to be consolidated by Prodes.
Jennifer Geerlings-Simons's government formed an interministerial team and formally ordered Mennonite occupants to leave interior areas where unauthorized clearing was detected. The action starts an administrative and immigration process; it does not mean the evictions have already been completed.
Nationwide deforestation rose 5% from 2024 but remained 31% below the 2021 level. The Amazon accounted for more than 65% of forest loss and its cleared area was virtually unchanged, with illegal land grabbing, extensive cattle ranching and unplanned roads as the main drivers.
A Greenpeace satellite analysis recorded clearing in Santiago del Estero, Salta, Formosa and Chaco between January and June 2026. The territorial distribution of the loss and Salta's increase expose gaps in enforcement, penalties and funding for native-forest protection.
The 2024–2035 Climate Plan aims to cut net emissions 59% to 67% from 2005 levels, demarcate 4.5 million hectares of Indigenous land and expand conservation. Energy and farming projections, however, show that much of the burden will still fall on controlling deforestation.
