CLIMATIVA: Plano de Ação Climática para cidades brasileiras - 14ᵃ Bienal Internacional de Arquitetura de São Paulo

CLIMATIVA, comprised of two major phases, facilitates a cross-cutting approach within municipal public administration for the participatory and autonomous development of the PAC. This method brings the population that is invariably affected by the consequences of extreme events into the development of responses to the climate crisis.

During the risk assessment stage, data on the territory's characterization, damaging events, climate projections, public policies, infrastructure, and land use are analyzed to obtain an initial indication of climate risks. Subsequently, two additional assessments of territorial climate risks are conducted through participatory workshops. A first set of workshops seeks to understand the situation through the eyes of technicians working with the municipal administration, and a second set through the voice of the population. The result of the first stage is a collectively constructed climate risk assessment, from which recommendations for climate actions relevant to that context are made. This initial filtering of actions is used for prioritization by the population and, subsequently, for the technical details and drafting of the PAC.

It is recommended that the process be initiated by the municipal government, which is responsible for implementing and monitoring the PAC. However, the PAC's development work is led by a management group composed of municipal technicians and civil society representatives. In addition to lending greater legitimacy to the PAC, this partnership proves essential for broadening the municipal vision of the climate crisis's challenges and expanding the range of possible responses for the region.

NOTE OF CONDOLENCE

With deep sorrow, the Brazilian Institute of Architects – São Paulo Department (IABsp) mourns the passing of architect and landscape architect Kongjian Yu, a global leader in ecological urbanism, and the members of his team who accompanied him, tragically killed during the filming of a documentary. The institute is honored to have had him as a participant in the 14th São Paulo International Architecture Biennial, where his transformative vision strengthened the dialogue between global challenges and local realities. IABsp emphasizes that Yu's contribution, which transcends borders, will remain an inspiration for generations and expresses its condolences to China, to the families of all the deceased, to his friends, and to all those impacted by his genius and dedication.
