Together with fire brigades, we have written the first ever book on techniques to combat forest fires in the Amazon. We have now talen the book and the authors to communities with recently formed brigades. More here 👇

An extremely necessary read - this comment in Nature is very uncomfortable, as it makes us question whether our actions are really addressing inequity in science or just making us fell better about ourselves.

In 49 days, COP30 will start. Despite countries' commitments to submit a new NDC in 2025, only 37 have done so. It is expected that this week, a few more will submit them during the UN General Assembly. The deadline was February. Climate change is not a priority. www.climatewatchdata.org/ndc-tracker

One of the challenges to understanding climate change is that extremes don't necessarily change in the same way as averages. In Western Europe, for example, the hottest day of the year is warming noticeably faster than the average summer day.

Incêndio florestal no parque de maior visitação do país - a Floresta da Tijuca. A provável causa é queda de balão. Em junho, os acidentes sempre aumentam. É necessário o combate aos grupos baloeiros. Soltar balão é crime, não é diversão.
