The Impact of Climate Change on Displacement in Brazil

The devastating floods in Brazil have left over 400,000 people displaced, with more than 100 deaths reported in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The flood waters have damaged infrastructure, leaving many without basic necessities like power and clean water. Thousands are living in temporary shelters, with volunteers and community organizations providing support and assistance to those in need. There are calls for a radical change in the approach to rebuilding, with a focus on relocating urban infrastructure to safer areas. Despite the challenges, there are signs of hope as communities come together to face the crisis and rebuild stronger than ever.
