As Brazil prepares for leftist President-elect Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to replace far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro in January, voters are asking: How many of the incumbent's environmental policies could Lula undo? And how long might it take?

There are over 100 measures that will have to be scrapped, but it can happen quickly, say environmental experts.

A study by climate policy think-tank Talanoa cited 107 measures - relating to the environment, nature and green issues - adopted during Bolsonaro's four years in office, which it said should be immediately repealed when Lula takes power. The Climate Observatory, an environmental watchdog, has described the process as"unnecessary and delaying" - and recently urged the incoming government to scrap it.

Estimates suggested that the policy affected more than 230 indigenous territories still in the process of being recognised. Mining also leads to the contamination of waterways and land with mercury, a toxic substance used in the mining of gold and linked to poisoning of indigenous communities. Two of the dismantled committees were linked to an Amazon preservation fund that received donations from Norway and Germany. The so-called Amazon Fund, which contains 3.2 billion reals for rainforest protection, was frozen.

However, Lula should look beyond just these two committees and expand the effort to rebuild more of what Bolsonaro dismantled, according to Unterstell.

To better understand environmental fascism when Leftist Lula comes back into power in Brazil the question is not what he will do to solve poverty and improve development of his people but rather his 'green policies' which requires deindustrialization.
