About :
In 2024, Brazil is facing the worst drought in the last seven decades. In early October, much of the country experienced its eighth heat wave of the year, with temperatures up to 5ºC higher than normal. The hot, dry weather has favored fires in the Amazon, the Pantanal and the interior of São Paulo, in a fire season that is expected to be the biggest since 2010 and has left almost the entire country covered in smoke in the last month. For several days in September, São Paulo was among the most polluted cities in the world in an international ranking, reaching pollution levels due to fires that were already being faced in cities in the North, such as Porto Velho, in Rondônia, and Rio Branco, in Acre. Smoke and heat have serious consequences for health - especially for the most vulnerable groups - increasing the number of hospitalizations and overloading the health system. There is evidence that heat waves are neglected disasters that kill more people than rains and landslides in Brazil. There are still areas of cities that feel the impacts of high temperatures more, due to an uneven distribution of green areas and the heat island effect. Given this scenario, what actions need to be taken by the government to effectively address the problem and protect the population from its effects? In this episode of the Dois Pontos vodcast, guests Suely Araújo, coordinator of Public Policies at the Climate Observatory and former president of Ibama, and Paulo Saldiva, pathologist and professor at the USP School of Medicine, discuss climate change and its consequences for health. The episode is hosted by Roseann Kennedy and features Juliana Domingos de Lima, Estadão's Sustainability reporter.
