The Polycrisis is sharing some episodes from other podcasts around the world while we develop our next season.

This episode is from the Brazilian ClimaInfo podcast . It's about how Brazil has become a focal point in the global race for green industrialisation, and what that means for the future of the second largest economy in the Americas. We hear from Tulio Cariello of the Brazil-China Business Council and The Polycrisis' Tim Sahay.

Brazil's new green developmental strategy requires delicate negotiations with China. It also means contending with the US – which wants to impose carbon dominance across the entire American hemisphere, rewarding countries that support its vision and punishing those that don’t.

The Polycrisis is hosted by energy and climate finance expert Kate Mackenzie, and Tim Sahay from the Net Zero Industrial Policy Lab at Johns Hopkins University. They co-author The Polycrisis newsletter, which explores connections between energy, geopolitics, climate change, finance and industry.
