According to a new study, climatic disasters have dramatically increased in Brazil in recent years when compared to two prior decades.
“Climate disasters have become more frequent and intense in recent decades, reflecting the impacts of climate change,” according to a report created by the Brazilian Alliance for Ocean Literacy with support from Unesco and the Brazilian government.
According to a study conducted by the Federal University of Sao Paulo’s research arm and published on Friday, government statistics from Brazil indicated an average of 4,077 climate-related disasters every year over the four years between 2020 and 2023.
That was almost twice as many disasters as were recorded on average per year during the two decades from 2000 to 2019.
That was described in the paper as a “alarming scenario.”
