Knowing to Transform: Community Climate Risk Reduction and Adaptation Plans

National Secretariat of Peripheries of the Ministry of Cities

The National Secretariat of Peripheries (SNP) invites undergraduate students in Architecture and Urbanism and all interested people to participate in the Debate Panel Knowing to Transform: Popular Mapping and Community Plans for Risk Reduction and Climate Adaptation.

The Debate Table (4pm to 6pm) is part of the general activity Periferia sem Risco, to be held throughout the day on 10/10/2025, at the Oca Auditorium, in Ibirapuera Park, from 2pm to 8:30pm.

The SNP's actions to promote popular mapping of peripheral territories, risk prevention and climate adaptation, and the CEP para Todos initiative will be presented, highlighting community protagonism as a foundation for enabling the process of adapting urban peripheries to climate change.

The objective is to present ways of mapping and making peripheral territories visible, from a technical-community lens and their contribution to processes and actions for climate adaptation.

The Table will be organized in 3 moments:
1- Presentation on Popular Mapping and CEP for All: forms of citizen data production and the Peripheral Nodes Network

2- Presentation of Community Climate Risk Reduction and Adaptation Plans: forms of technical-community articulation and implementation of contextualized actions based on socio-territorial realities

3- Questions and Answers/Collective debate on NBS and NBS in the Peripheries: technical-community challenges and potential contribution to the adaptation of urban peripheries to climate change
Participants:
Representatives of the National Secretariat for Peripheries and community leaders from peripheral territories involved in the actions
