The impacts of climate change have already reached the Brazilian people, in towns and in the countryside, in the north and in the south, and the consequences are being deeply felt. Some of these stories are in the documentary \u201cO Amanh\u00e3 \u00e9 hoje \u2013 o drama de brasileiros impactados pelas mudan\u00e7as clim\u00e1ticas\u201d (Tomorrow is today \u2013 the drama of Brazilians impacted by climate change), released this Thursday (6\/12) in the Espa\u00e7o Brasil of the COP 24, The UN Climate Change Conference, being held in Katowice, in Poland. This initiative of seven civil society organisations, tells how the lives of 6 people in 5 Brazilian states were affected by changes in the climate.

Among the cases presented in the documentary is that of a young indigenous women who became a voluntary fire brigade member after an unprecedented forest fire hit the indigenous land of her people, the Krikati; a young female agricultural worker in the Pernambuco sertao <\/em>who experienced six years of drought; the coastal community who after hundreds of years had to move location due to erosion caused by a rise in the sea level; the salesman from the state of Rio who saw his business ruined by the rain and landslides that left hundreds dead in Friburgo (RJ), in 2011; an oyster farmer in Santa Catarina who was punished by the increase in sea temperature; the woman who lost two cars, in Santos (SP), due to the increasingly high and violent waves that are hitting the Brazilian coast.<\/p>\n

The documentary also contains reports by specialists like the USP Economics Lecturer, Ricardo Abramovay, Researcher Carlos Souza, from Imazon, and\u00a0 Climatologist, Jos\u00e9 Marengo, from INPE. They have signed two unprecedented reports that reveal how deforestation, in particular in Amaz\u00f4nia, are compounding the impacts of the climate on farming production, water supplies in the country, greenhouse gas emissions, forest fires, among others, affecting many Brazilian people.<\/p>\n
