Description

Problem: Brazilian cities are not adequately prepared to face the impacts of climate change, which disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, such as black people, women, children, the elderly, indigenous peoples, and traditional communities. Despite the existence of adaptation policies and instruments, ‬‭ the‬‭ integration‬‭ between climate resilience‬‭ and‬‭ social justice‬‭ in‬‭ vulnerable territories‬‭ remains‬‭ largely‬‭ unexplored.‬
Research question: How can the integration of climate change adaptation strategies ‬‭ that‬‭ consider‬‭ equity‬‭ and‬‭ social justice‬‭ as‬‭ a‬‭ central axis, can strengthen and improve the resilience of socioecological systems, ‬‭ and‬‭ how‬‭ the‬‭ production‬‭ of‬‭ available‬‭ scientific‬‭ knowledge‬‭ and‬‭ the‬‭ science‬‭ of‬‭ synthesis‬‭ can‬‭ contribute‬‭ to‬‭ the‬ effectiveness of these models and policies in promoting a sustainable vision of the future?
