Does climate change affect Brazil? In this video, the biologist Jubilut will show you that the consequences of global warming are already hitting our country, and if we don't take urgent measures, Brazil will suffer serious consequences.

Brazil is experiencing more and more extreme weather events, such as excessive rains, floods, heat waves and droughts, which have devastating effects on the population.

The climate in the Amazon is also changing. In recent years, the region has had longer dry periods, ranging from 11 to 30 days without rain, which is a long time for this location. These prolonged droughts reduce the moisture of the forest floor, which makes it easier for fires to spread and increases the chance of large fires engulfing the forest.

Climate change will cause the extinction of many Brazilian species, both in water and on land. This loss will happen quickly and abruptly, because the species will adapt to the changes until a certain point in which they find an evolutionary precipice.

Unfortunately, Brazil emits a lot of greenhouse gases.In 2015, Brazil launched a strategy plan called Brazil 2040, which analyzed the likely scenarios and possible adaptations to climate change in the country.

In the next episode of the Climate Change WebSeries, you will understand the economic impacts of the climate crisis on society.
