A new study puts a number on what three decades of warming cost Brazilian agriculture — and finds the damage concentrated exactly where the country can least absorb it.
The country's 2026 dam-safety audit shows an expanding inventory, a shrinking inspection workforce and a budget moving the wrong way.
A new study finds green activities have been stuck since 2014 — and the workers most exposed to decarbonization are the least prepared for it.

A major Brazilian airline has been found liable for misleading customers about its carbon-offset program — and more suits are expected to follow
Severe heat and climate matters are set to be central to the 2026 World Cup, which kicks off today in the US, Mexico and Canada.
Illegal gold mining can devastate protected lands and poison indigenous communities. Brazil's federal government wants to clean it up, but Congress may have other ideas.
Brazil’s agro caucus pushed through a quartet of bills last week, weakening environmental oversight. We take them apart, and explain why the industry may have shot itself in the foot.
Forecast models are showing an increasing probability of a severe El Niño event forming this year. What does that mean for Brazil, and is the country prepared?
