Diálogos Socioambientais

In issue 19 of the Cadernos Diálogos Socioambientais, the theme "Environmental Disasters" is explored under the guidance of Professors Dr. Gabriela Marques Di Giulio and Dr. Eduardo Gonçalves Gresse. This edition highlights the climate emergency and the need for an integrated, multidimensional approach to addressing the challenges of socio-environmental disasters, particularly in the Brazilian context. With the growth of urbanization and social inequalities, the impacts of extreme climate events are intensifying, disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable populations.

This edition emphasizes the urgent need for a strategic shift in public policies and urban planning, advocating for a systemic approach that includes nature-based solutions, climate justice, and a sustainable development model. Accordingly, the journal presents a collection of articles that delve into the challenges and opportunities of adapting to climate change, proposing responses that prioritize social inclusion and the strengthening of community resilience. The edition seeks not only to reflect on the effects of the climate crisis but also to offer insights for political and social decisions that can contribute to a more just and sustainable future.
