ABOUT BRASIL in a +2° world
Brasil is at a turning point: in the face of the climate crisis and biodiversity loss, it is urgent to accelerate the transition to an economy that is more productive and positive for climate, nature, and people. With warming approaching the 1.5°C limit set in the Paris Agreement, climate impacts are already here – droughts, floods, wildfires, and environmental degradation are disrupting cities, infrastructure, and supply chains.
The Brasil in a +2°C World platform brings the combined risks of climate change and nature loss into focus. These intertwined risks are assessed and displayed with high-resolution maps to answer key questions about vulnerabilities and opportunities by municipality and economic sector, showing hazard risks today and how they are likely to evolve in a +2°C world
More than an open data repository, the Brasil in a +2°C World platform is an invitation to act. Its intuitive interface turns complex science into actionable intelligence, helping investors, policymakers, and businesses incorporate data into decision making for a more resilient, sustainable, and competitive Brasil.
