19h30 - Profª. Drª. Helena Madureira (Portugal), Profª. Drª. Marinez Scherer (Brasil) Planning strategies to mitigate the impacts of climate change: experiences from Brazil and Portugal Conferência
Place: Auditório Milton Santos, Instituto de Geociências, Unicamp

The worsening impacts of climate change have required the adoption of integrated strategies in urban and territorial planning. This brief analyzes the experiences of Brazil and Portugal in the use of planning as a tool for climate mitigation and adaptation. Both countries, although they have different socioeconomic contexts, have developed public policies aimed at environmental resilience, with different degrees of institutionalization. In Brazil, initiatives such as the National Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change (PNA) and the Municipal Master Plans seek to incorporate the climate variable into urban planning. Cities such as São Paulo and Recife have been developing local climate action plans, despite challenges related to governance, technical resources, and continuity of public policies.

Portugal, in turn, has made more structured progress through the National Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change (ENAAC) and the National Energy and Climate Plan (PNEC 2030). The integration between land use planning policies, sustainable mobility and nature-based solutions has been strengthened, with emphasis on successful experiences in cities such as Lisbon and Porto.The comparative analysis shows that the success of climate strategies is directly related to intersectoral coordination, social participation and the strengthening of multilevel governance. Cooperation between Brazil and Portugal can promote the exchange of good practices, contributing to the improvement of climate responses through planning.

14h00 - Prof. Dr. Alexander Turra (Brasil), Prof. Dr. Antonio Meireles (Brasil) Brazil, Public Policies – from the federal to the local level, is it possible to build effective strategies to mitigate the impact scenarios derived from climate change in the current scenario? Round table
Place: Auditório Milton Santos, Instituto de Geociências, Unicamp

In the face of the intensification of extreme weather events, Brazil faces the challenge of formulating and implementing effective public policies to mitigate and adapt to climate change. This task requires coordination between the federal, state and municipal levels, as well as integration between the different sectors of public administration and the active participation of society. At the federal level, the country has instruments such as the National Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change (PNA), the National Climate Change Policy (PNMC) and the Climate Plan. While these represent normative advances, their effectiveness is limited by political instability, institutional discontinuity, and the lack of a consistent budget. At the local level, municipalities play a central role in the implementation of actions, by being closer to the affected communities. However, most lack the technical capacity, financial resources and institutional support to integrate the climate agenda into urban planning. Still, successful experiences in cities such as Fortaleza, Curitiba, and Recife show that, with political leadership and multisectoral cooperation, it is possible to develop integrated climate plans and public policies.

The key to building effective strategies lies in collaborative governance. Coordination between spheres of government, access to climate finance, the use of scientific data to support decisions, and the participation of civil society are key elements. In addition, climate justice must be a guiding principle, ensuring the prioritization of vulnerable populations. Therefore, even in the face of current constraints, it is possible to build effective strategies to address climate change in Brazil, provided that there is political commitment, integrated planning, and coordinated action at all levels of government.

19h00 - Prof. Dr. Carlos Nobre (Brasil), Profª. Drª. Débora Freitas (Brasil) Planning challenges in the face of the implications of climate change: from the diagnosis of conflicts and scenarios to management actions. Round table
Place: Auditório Milton Santos, Instituto de Geociências, Unicamp

Climate change imposes a new paradigm on urban and territorial planning, which requires more dynamic, integrated and evidence-based approaches. Addressing climate impacts, such as floods, droughts, rising sea levels, and rising temperatures, requires not only public policymaking, but also the revision of traditional planning practices. The first challenge lies in the diagnosis. Mapping vulnerabilities, identifying areas of risk and understanding socio-environmental conflicts requires up-to-date data, social participation and coordination between different sectors. In Brazil, this stage is still weakened by the scarcity of consistent information, the lack of integration between the scales (federal, state and municipal) and the low technical capacity in many municipalities. The second challenge concerns the construction of future scenarios. Projecting climate impacts requires the use of complex models and an interdisciplinary approach that considers not only environmental variables, but also social, economic, and cultural ones. The uncertainty of these scenarios makes decision-making even more difficult, especially in contexts marked by inequality and institutional limitations.

Finally, transforming diagnoses and projections into effective management actions is one of the most critical points. Implementing adaptation and mitigation measures requires stable financing, collaborative governance, long-term planning, and civil society participation. Solutions such as green infrastructure, land use review, and climate justice policies must be prioritized. Therefore, planning for climate change must be proactive, resilient and territorialized, capable of anticipating risks and promoting integrated, sustainable and socially just responses.

14h00 - Prof. Dr. Álvaro Morales (Costa Rica), Prof. Dr. Camilo Botero (Colombia), Prof. Dr. Daniel Escalone (Uruguay), Prof. Dr. Edgardo Díaz (Panamá), Prof. Dr. Emílio Ochoa (Ecuador), Prof. Dr. Javier Sanabria (España), Prof. Dr. Juan Cabrera Hernandez (Cuba), Prof. Dr. Marcus Polette (Brasil), Profª. Drª. Celene Milanés Batista (Colombia), Profª. Drª. Evelia Rivera (México), Profª. Drª. Ofelia Pérez (Cuba) Cenários de Vulnerabilidades e estratégias da Gestão Costeira frente às mudanças climáticas: experiências da América Latina, Caribe e Europa Round table
Place: Auditório Milton Santos, Instituto de Geociências, Unicamp

Latin America's coastal areas are among the regions most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, such as rising sea levels, erosion, salinization of aquifers, loss of biodiversity, and socioeconomic impacts on fisheries and urban communities. Brazil, Ecuador and Cuba share common challenges, but have different approaches to coastal management and the development of adaptation strategies. In Brazil, with more than 7000 km of coastline, impacts vary according to local geographical and socioeconomic characteristics. The country has instruments such as the Coastal Management Program (GERCO) and the Orla Project, but faces coordination difficulties between states, lack of updated technical data and real estate pressures in sensitive areas. Adaptation actions are still isolated and poorly integrated into climate plans. In Ecuador, the Pacific coast is affected by extreme events such as El Niño, which aggravate erosion and damage to infrastructure. The country has invested in ecosystem-based adaptation policies and strengthening local communities, although it still relies on international technical and financial support to improve its coastal resilience. Cuba, on the other hand, stands out for its more centralized and preventive coastal management. The "Tarea Vida" program is a robust state plan that integrates science, policy, and social participation, with the aim of protecting vulnerable coastal areas through planned relocation, reforestation, and control of disorderly occupation. A comparison between the three countries highlights the importance of integrated strategies, territorial planning, multi-scale governance and the valorization of local knowledge as ways to strengthen coastal management in the face of climate change.

17h00 Apresentação cultural de encerramento Artistic Presentation

19h00 - Prof. Dr. Claudio Szlafsztein (Brasil), Prof. Dr. Davis Pereira de Paula (Brasil), Prof. Dr. Lutiane Almeida (Brasil) Good planning practices to address the impacts associated with climate change: perspectives for future scenarios Conferência
Place: Auditório Milton Santos, Instituto de Geociências, Unicamp

Climate change has imposed increasing challenges on urban and territorial planning, requiring integrated responses based on science, social participation and institutional coordination. The intensification of extreme events, such as floods, droughts and landslides, highlights the urgency of adaptive and long-term strategies, especially in contexts marked by socio-environmental inequalities. This conference proposes a debate on good planning practices to address the impacts of climate change, with a focus on climate justice, collaborative governance and the integration of public policies. Approaches that prioritize institutional strengthening, the use of legal instruments such as master plans and zoning, and the construction of prospective scenarios capable of guiding preventive actions will be discussed. The experience accumulated in different territories reveals that territorial planning must be guided by precise diagnoses, coordination between levels of government and the valorization of local knowledge. Only with territorialized, intersectoral and sustainable policies will it be possible to build societies that are more resilient to present and future climate risks.
