Extreme weather events are already a reality in many countries, including mine. The losses in the face of this calamitous situation are immeasurable. Dealing with and managing catastrophes like these goes beyond implementing risk mitigation policies, adaptation measures, and resilience programs. Society needs to change how it operates. As Marina Silva said, 'It's not enough to mitigate and adapt; we must transform.' And this is part of the story we need to tell. More than 700,000 people have been impacted. Over 65% of cities in Rio Grande do Sul have been affected. The more we educate ourselves about the consequences of climate change and approach it with the necessary seriousness and financial commitment, the better prepared we'll be to address its impacts. #SOSRS #RioGrandeDoSul #PublicCalamity #ClimateCrisis #Brasil

The area is larger than that of five Brazilian states (Sergipe, Alagoas, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo and Rio Grande do Norte) and is equivalent to that of Paraíba (56,467 km²). It was the worst August in the platform's historical series, which began in 2019. With this result, the total hit by fire in Brazil in 2024 reaches 113,960 km² – more than double that recorded in the first eight months of 2023 (52,519 km²). The sad thing about this story is that most of the fires, like those in the Amazon, are criminals.
