In March 2020, an extreme rainfall in Baixada Santista, Brazil, led to a series of landslides affecting more than 2800 people and resulting losses exceeding USD 43 million. This attribution study compared extreme rainfall in two large ensembles of the UK Met Office Hadley Centre HadGEM3-GA6 model that represented the event with and without the effects of anthropogenic climate change. Antecedent rainfall conditions on two different timescales are considered, namely extreme 60-day rainfall (Rx60day) which relates to the soil moisture conditions and extreme 3-day rainfall (Rx3day) which represents landslide triggering heavy rainfall. In the scenario including both natural and human-induced factors the antecedent 60 day rainfall became 74% more likely, while the short-term trigger was 46% more likely. The anthropogenic contribution to changes in rainfall accounted for 20–42% of the total losses and damages. The greatest economic losses occurred in Guarujá (42%), followed by São Vicente (30%) and Santos (28%). Landslides were responsible for 47% of the homes damaged, 85% of the homes destroyed, all reported injuries, and 51% of the deaths associated with heavy rainfall. Changes in land cover and urbanization showed a pronounced increase in urbanized area in Guarujá (107%), São Vicente (61.7%) and Santos (36.9%) and a reduction in farming area. In recent years, the region has experienced an increase in population growth and a rise in the proportion of irregular and/or precarious housing in high-risk areas. Guarujá has the highest number of such dwellings, accounting for 34.8%. Our estimates suggest that extreme precipitation events are having shorter return periods due to climate change and increased urbanization and population growth is exposing more people to these events. These findings are especially important for decision-makers in the context of disaster risk reduction and mitigation and adaptation to climate change.

The threat of anthropogenic climate change is the political, social, and legal issue of our time. Its gravity can be felt up and down the country’s system of courts, where rules governing greenhouse gas emissions, the cleanliness of our air and water and even the creation of protected national monuments all face opposition from entrenched […]

This is a 3" vinyl sticker, high quality, durable, and neat, weatherproof and waterproofed. They will last outdoors (on a hardhat?) for at least 5 years. The looming threat of climate collapse is becoming increasingly evident as we witness unprecedented changes in our global environment. Rising global temperatures, attributed largely to human activities such as deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels, are causing a cascade of catastrophic events. From the melting polar ice caps and rising sea levels displacing communities, to more frequent and severe natural disasters, the signs are clear and alarming. Biodiversity loss is occurring at a rate unseen in millions of years, with species going extinct daily. The acidification of oceans, the desertification of once-fertile lands, and the unpredictable shifts in weather patterns all point to a system in distress. If immediate, collective action isn't taken to drastically reduce carbon emissions and restore natural ecosystems, the collapse of our planet's climate equilibrium is not just a distant possibility—it's an imminent reality.

Climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of the twenty-first century. Anthropogenic activities, such as fossil fuel consumption and other activities focused on enhancing economic growth, have been identified as the main drivers of changes in the environment that defy planetary boundaries. The transgression of planetary boundaries has profound implications for practically all biophysical and human systems and their impact could also be related to the exacerbation of existing problems such as land tenure insecurity, poverty and inequality, marginalization of poorer populations, climate induced migration, and resource wars or conflicts. From a global South perspective, research on the multifaceted nature of climate change is thus necessary and appropriate, including the analysis of socioeconomic, political and cultural aspects. This book is an outcome of the Comparative Research Workshop on \"Inequality and Climate Change: Perspectives from the South\" of the South-South Collaborative Programme of CLACSO-CODESRIA-IDEAS. It gathers a diversity of case studies from the South with ample biophysical differences and particular social and cultural realities. As such, it is a fresh contribution offering a vantage point from which to examine some of the current perspectives on inequality and climate change.
