Carta de posicionamento frente ao Super El Niño e seus impactos no Brasil
Summary
A positioning statement by the Rede por Adaptação Antirracista and Observatório do Clima, signed by 70 organizations, urging the Brazilian federal government to implement anti-racist climate adaptation strategies to mitigate the impacts of a predicted 'Super El Niño'.
Key insights
- The predicted 'Super El Niño' is described as a phenomenon not seen since 1870, expected to cause extreme rainfall leading to landslides and floods, as well as extreme droughts resulting in water stress, food insecurity, and increased forest fires.
- The document alleges a systemic pattern of government negligence where public responses occur only after disasters, with emergency works prioritizing central city zones and airports over the peripheries and traditional territories.
- The authors identify several critical failures in current climate policy, including a lack of territorial prioritization based on race and gender, the use of violent 'removals' without community participation, and the influence of real estate capital on housing policies and master plans.
- The statement demands that climate adaptation be 'transformational', moving beyond treating vulnerable populations as passive beneficiaries to making them central political subjects in the planning and execution of public policies.
- The document calls for the federal government to integrate the principles of the Secretaria Nacional de Periferias across all ministries to prioritize community-led risk management and nature-based solutions.
- Specific requests are made to four federal entities: the Casa Civil, the Ministry of Integration and Regional Development, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, and the Ministry of Cities, focusing on transparency, contingency plans, budgets for prevention, and the use of the 'Minha Casa, Minha Vida' program for safe relocation.
