The study, titled "Climate Emergency," involved the participation of 3,590 Brazilian city councils out of the country's 5,570 municipalities. The results are alarming: 68% of city councils admitted to being unprepared to face the increase in extreme weather events. Only 22.6% claimed to have preparedness measures, while 6% are unaware of climate predictions, and 3.4% did not respond. For example, 43.7% of city councils lack sectors or professionals responsible for monitoring areas at risk of disasters daily and in real-time. Regarding alert systems, 57% of city councils indicated having none, evidencing a severe deficiency in the capacity for prevention and response to climate emergencies. Therefore, there is an urgent need for priority discussion on current and future strategies for risk management, including both direct and indirect risks, and the identification and overcoming of associated implementation barriers. This discussion should be incorporated into the strategic planning agendas of states at all three levels, encompassing disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, environmental management, and poverty reduction. The lack of professionals and sectors dedicated to the daily and real-time monitoring of disaster-prone areas, coupled with the absence of alert systems in many city councils, further exacerbates deficiencies in the prevention and response to climate emergencies. A risk management program for a city should include: Identification of Risks that the city may face, considering natural threats such as floods and earthquakes, as well as human risks such as infrastructure failures and social risks. The identified risks are evaluated in terms of their likelihood of occurrence and potential impact using qualitative and quantitative techniques to build Risk Matrices commonly used to classify risks into categories such as low, medium, and high. Quantitative techniques involve assigning numerical values to the likelihood of occurrence and the impacts of risks. Statistical models and simulations can be used to calculate risks more accurately and quantify potential financial damages. Based on the evaluation, risks are prioritized so that resources and efforts can be directed to those with the highest likelihood of occurrence and most significant impact. Development of Mitigation Strategies: This stage involves identifying and implementing measures to reduce or mitigate identified risks, including prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery measures. An effective risk management program requires continuous monitoring of risks and implemented mitigation strategies.

I am happy to share that I participated in the 19th Brazilian Congress of Management, Projects and Leadership CBGPL 2024 at the end of April led by the PMI Rio de Janeiro Chapter and with the participation of several other chapters. Including the participation of the CEO of the Project Management Institute, Pierre Le Manh, among many other speakers. There were two days of lots of exchange and debate on the most diverse topics, which can be seen through their program: https://lnkd.in/ddMCJja8. What was much discussed was the role of the project manager in the era of the use of artificial intelligence and generative tools, how they can help us in our work, make us much more productive and the PMs who master them will be ahead of their time.

In a Material Fact published, Suzano informs that the operational start-up of the new pulp mill in Ribas do Rio Pardo, located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (the “Cerrado Project”), will take place in July 2024. The Cerrado Project boasts impressive numbers: a USD 4 billion investment, 180 MW of energy surplus, a 20% increment in Suzano’s total production, and 2.55 million tons of Bleached Hardwood Kraft Market Pulp. The scale of new pulp projects is jaw-dropping. If we consider the new schedule as a delay of 30 days (although this is not necessarily true), it would mean 212 thousand tons less of this grade of pulp in the market this year. To put this into perspective, that volume of pulp exceeds the annual production of 57 mills worldwide (52%). #pulp #pulpandpaper #pulpandpaperindustry #packaging #packagingindustry #strategy #tissue #biochemical #biomaterial

The Southwestern Amazon deforestation wildland fire season has started! Several wildland fires are found across Apuí, Cujubim, Porto Velho, Lábrea, and Boca do Acre (Amazonas and Rondônia states of Brazil). In the video from Painel do Fogo, we can see smoke plumes (white and smooth) and clusters of active fires (orange pixels) in a GOES-16 imagery animation from a few minutes ago. The table of fire information revealed more than 6,000 hectares of influence area with a significant increase in active fires detected by VIIRS and MODIS sensors. These are some characteristics of the deforestation fire type that occurs every year in the southwestern Amazon biome. #Paineldofogo has information that most of these fire occurrences (about 80%) happen in public areas without land use designation. The main fuel in these occurrences is the native tropical forest, which has been drying for almost two months after being deforested before burning. Using the WRF meteorological model, it is possible to note that wind speed and direction corroborate with the RGB dynamic imagery from GOES-16. Both suggesting that on its path is the urban area of Porto Velho, with 480,000 people exposed to poor air quality. A real-time Air Quality Index (AQI) from PurpleAir, Inc. has an instrument that measures PM 2.5. This air quality station, maintained by the Ministério Público de Rondônia, is registering some high peaks of AQI related to those smoke plumes.

It's All About the Bottom Line! Today, at a workshop discussing the #climatestrategy of a major blue-chip company, this enduring mantra of "shareholder value" was cited. While I acknowledge that profitability is essential for any private company's sustainability, there is undoubtedly a broader picture to consider. Consumers and societies are not primarily concerned with a company’s financial results. They demand products and services that meet their needs, foster a healthy environment, and an economy that provides opportunities for growth and prosperity for individuals, families, and nations. In essence, they yearn for an economy that creates societal value while sustaining environmental integrity. During my presentation at the G20 Brasil 2024 #SAI2020 closing ceremony, I contended that the quest for profit and the need for sustainable development for current and future generations have historically been at odds, though they do not need to be. It is the responsibility of our governments to design and implement policies that create a competitive landscape and steer profit-seeking private investors to competitively produce goods and services that meet societal needs today and in the future, all while respecting the environmental limits of our planet. My discussion highlighted the critical role of Supreme Audit Institutions in shaping, overseeing, and evolving these policies. However, this topic is of general relevance not only to policymakers and stakeholders but also to us as individuals and voters. Below, you will find a summary prepared by the E+ Energy Transition Institute. Here you find my full presentation from the event: https://lnkd.in/ezcJSeWD I would like to thank the Tribunal de Contas da União for the opportunity its work with the INTOSAI DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE (IDI).

Today, I attended a lecture by Mr. Jan-Gustav Strandenaes at the SDG Academy and wanted to remind everyone about the upcoming UN #HLPF2024 side event organized by #INTOSAI, which you can participate in online. Mr. Strandenaes emphasized that strong and active governance structures are essential for addressing climate, environmental, and sustainability issues. This is precisely where Supreme Audit Institutions (#SAIs) play a crucial role in holding governments accountable, as exemplified by initiatives like #Climatescanner. Transparency and accountability are key, and this is also the core message of #SAI20: SAIs matter and are central to driving change!

🚰Sabesp privatization edges closer with São Paulo legislation The São Paulo City Council on Thursday approved legislation authorizing Brazil’s largest city to sign contracts with sanitation company Sabesp, the privatization of which was approved by the state’s legislative assembly in late 2023. Mayor Ricardo Nunes quickly signed the bill into law. The decision is crucial for Governor Tarcisío de Freitas’ plan to move forward with the privatization of Sabesp. Home to more than 11.4 million people, São Paulo city proper is by far Sabesp’s largest market. The company also operates in more than 360 other cities in the state. Sabesp is already a government-controlled company, with São Paulo state owning 50.3 percent of its stock. The government’s share is set to be diluted as part of the privatization process. Sabesp announced a BRL 3.5 billion (USD 690 million) profit in 2023, a 12.9 percent increase in relation to 2022. 🔗Read more in our full article by Cedê Silva here 👇 https://lnkd.in/d2WJ6iJ6 #Privatization #Sanitation #SaoPaulo
