A huge thanks to Gov. Eduardo Leite, Priscilla Negreiros, Guilherme W. Syrkis & Renata Koch Alvarenga for this timely conversation with Latin America Center on the implications of this climate disaster. We must invest in climate adaptation to protect lives & livelihoods now & in the future. bit.ly/3QRVdRG

To prepare for and protect people from future climate disasters, cities can invest in key solutions. Guilherme W. Syrkis explored several actionable measures that can minimize flood risk, ranging from 'sponge cities' to infrastructural solutions like sandbar barriers. bit.ly/3NBEvUR

Simply responding to climate disasters isn't enough. As @Renatakoch9 emphasized, “if everything is a crisis, then you haven’t solved the larger public policy program.” Governments must prepare for future climate disasters and invest in climate adaptation. bit.ly/3QRVdRG
