Extreme Events in the Amazon: The Urgency of Climate Change

Prolonged droughts, uncontrolled fires and severe floods: extreme weather events in the Amazon are becoming more frequent and intense due to climate change. Indigenous communities, which have protected the forest for centuries, are directly affected by these changes.

Do you know how indigenous peoples are impacted?

Loss of territory and biodiversity essential to their subsistence.

Difficulties in agriculture and food shortages due to altered natural cycles.

Greater vulnerability to forest fires and water crises.
