UN Climate envoy and ex-Bank of England boss Mark Carney's firm sold farms in Brazil linked to deforestation claims.

The move comes despite his call on owners to fix rather than sell climate-damaging assets.

Canadian giant Brookfield deforested 9,000 hectares of the important Cerrado savanna region, according to analysis by campaign group Global Witness.

Brookfield said it decided to sell several years ago and it's working on ways to retire damaging investments.

Before the end of his term as Governor of the Bank of England, the Canadian banker Mark Carney began to establish a new role as one of the world's leading advocates for action to tackle climate change.
