On April 2, Brazil's Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, Marina Silva, and China's Minister of Ecology and Environment, Huang Runqiu, met in Brasilia as part of the 11th BRICS Environment Ministers' Meeting, chaired by Brazil. The aim of the meeting was to strengthen strategic partnerships within the group and discuss actions in the Subcommittee on the Environment and Climate Change of the Sino-Brazilian High Level Commission for Coordination and Cooperation (Cosban).

During the meeting, the two ministers signed the Subcommittee's Work Plan for the period 2025 to 2029, which aims to cooperate in the areas of environmental protection, combating pollution, preserving biodiversity and tackling climate change.

One of the topics discussed at the meeting was the Tropical Forests Forever Fund (TFFF), which the minister invited Huang to learn about. This fund, developed by Brazil's ministries of Environment, Finance and Foreign Affairs, aims to reward countries that protect their tropical forests.
