Brazil’s Thematic Plan for Racial Equality and Combating Racism is part of the Adaptation Climate Plan framework and is grounded in the urgent need to address the challenges posed by climate change and environmental racism, highlighting the importance of promoting climate justice rooted in social and racial justice.The three objectives are:
– Promote the production of racialized climate data to inform the development, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of public policies;
– Combat and overcome environmental racism to reduce inequalities and promote climate justice; and
– Enforce the territorial, environmental, social, economic, and cultural rights of the Black Population, the Quilombolas, Traditional African-Descendant Peoples and Communities, Terreiro Communities, and the Roma, with the aim of reducing socio-environmental vulnerabilities and increasing resilience to extreme weather events.
