ABSTRACT

This paper contributes to the study of climate change and environmental justice with a particular focus on a Global South case-study in the São Paulo Macro Metropolis of Brazil. We also aim to contribute to mandatory critical dialogue between (anticipatory) governance and environmental justice. This study focuses on the rainy seasons from 2016 to 2019. We examine the incidence of 61 extreme precipitation events, as well as 47 deaths caused by rain events, considering their location based on vulnerability indicators. The correlations among these data allow us to reveal the socio-environmental patterns within the relationships between social vulnerability and deaths caused by general rainfall and, more specifically, extreme events. Based on this, we demonstrate that current infrastructure or its lack is one of the reasons why death tolls remain due to the absence of anticipatory governance.

摘要

本文为研究气候变化和环境正义做出了贡献，特别着重于巴西圣保罗宏观大都市的南方全球案例研究。我们还致力于为（预期）治理与环境正义之间的强制性批判对话做出贡献。这项研究的重点是2016年至2019年的雨季。我们根据脆弱性指标考虑了它们的位置，研究了61起极端降水事件的发生率，以及47起因降雨事件导致的死亡。这些数据之间的相关性使我们能够揭示社会脆弱性与一般降雨（尤其是极端事件）导致的死亡之间的关系中的社会环境模式。基于此，
