SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilian presidential frontrunner Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is vowing an environmental overhaul of government policy on a scale rivaling the proposed U.S. Green New Deal, according to his senior advisers, campaign documents and Workers Party policy papers.

The big question, if he clinches a win in Sunday's election, is whether the leftist former president can muster the political will to fund such ambitions.
