Carta de posicionamento frente ao Super El Niño e seus impactos no Brasil

A coalition of 70 organizations warns that a 'Super El Niño'—a phenomenon not seen since 1870—will cause extreme rainfall, floods, and droughts in Brazil. The letter criticizes the government's history of reacting only after disasters and its tendency to prioritize economically valued central urban areas over peripheries inhabited by Black, quilombola, and traditional populations. The authors demand transformational climate adaptation that prioritizes racial and gender equity, secure housing over forced removals, and the integration of community-led risk management into federal policy. Specific requests for information and meetings are directed to the Casa Civil, the Ministry of Integration and Regional Development, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, and the Ministry of Cities.

• The predicted 'Super El Niño' represents a climatic event of a magnitude not experienced since 1870, expected to cause extreme rainfall, landslides, floods, and severe droughts leading to water stress and food insecurity.
• Public response to climate disasters in Brazil is characterized by a pattern of acting only after events occur and prioritizing infrastructure in central, economically valued urban areas while neglecting peripheries and risk zones occupied by poor, Black, and traditional populations.
• In states such as Rio Grande do Sul, Minas Gerais, Pernambuco, Paraíba, Amazonas, and Rondônia, emergency works have prioritized airports and central zones over riverbanks and traditional territories affected by extreme droughts and floods.
• The authors identify critical failures in current climate planning, including a lack of race and gender-disaggregated data, a preference for violent 'removals' over dignified housing stability, and the influence of real estate capital on urban master plans.
• Community organizations, often led by Black, Indigenous, and quilombola women, are the primary actors saving lives and implementing prevention strategies, yet they lack institutional recognition and adequate funding.
• The coalition demands that the principles of the National Secretariat of Peripheries (Secretaria Nacional de Periferias) be applied across the entire federal government's management of extreme climate events to move from punctual to structural community-based risk management.
