Abstract

The sixth IPCC report brought a strong alert to the climate issue in the world. The warning comes against a backdrop of natural disasters that have spread around the world in recent months. The complexity of this process of transforming a planet, not only increasingly threatened, but also directly affected by socio-environmental risks and their damage, is increasingly notorious. The climate emergency was one of the great agendas of 2021, especially with important international events related to the theme. In Latin America and the Caribbean, floods have been the most common type of disaster in the region since the year 2000. The debate on justice and social inequalities related to climate change has intensified over the last decade, due to the increasing incidence of extreme weather events. Climate injustice stems from exposing poor populations to climate change, created and exacerbated by degenerative human activity. In Brazil, approximately 85% of natural disasters are related to rain or lack of it. The country has a history of climatic tragedies related to this water imbalance. The construction of a Brazilian climate justice is necessary through the creation of public policies in the creation of action plans in this sense.
