I am Associate Professor at Environmental Health Department, School of Public Health, University of São Paulo, and visiting researcher at University of York (UK). I hold a PhD in Environment and Society (University of Campinas, UNICAMP). I co-head the research group Environment and Society (Institute of Advanced Studies IEA USP) and CIRIS - Governance, Risk and Communication (USP/Unicamp), and integrate the Interdisciplinary Climate Investigation Center - INCLINE/USP. My current research program focuses on the human dimension of climate change; crises, risks and uncertainties; science-policy-communication interactions; global health and sustainability.

This proposal seeks to create a nucleus of analysis and synthesis of nature-based solutions (the BIOTA SYNTHESIS) aimed at solving socio-environmental problems presented by the government of the state of São Paulo, with a focus on demands that have been put forward by the Secretariats of Infrastructure and Environment, Agriculture and Supply, and Health. The research approach is inspired …
There is an increasing concern about water, energy and food security worldwide due to an expected increase in demand for these resources in the face of climate change and anthropogenic pressures. While water, energy and food issues have been traditionally addressed separately, the interrelation between these elements is becoming increasingly important. In recent years, the Water-Energy-Fo…
For cities climate change is quickly becoming a policy and planning concern. The growing reàlization that mitigation alone will not be enough to avoid climate impact (IPCC AR5) is increasingly apparent in the number of cities that have adaptation plans. These early adopters recognize the risk of climate change impacts-both future and present-on cities' social-ecological systems. Yet, many…
This research project is affiliated with interdisciplinary debate about cities, climate and sustainability, and is focused on a study of risk, perception and governance at São Paulo city. The São Paulo State's capital exhibits the main elements of an urban environment, and highlights the problems and challenges which are faced by decision makers and residents, such as irregular settlement…
The following project proposes a communication strategy for Biota Synthesis, making use of Biota's own platforms, and, also, the journals run by the Laboratório de Estudos Avançados em Jornalismo (Labjor) from Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp). During the term of this project, the researches conducted by Biota Synthesis will be prospected, in addition to conducting interviews wi…
Cities, particularly large urban centers, are characterized by problems concerned to inefficient infrastructure, urban logistics, green (e.g. parks, squares, afforestation) and blue infrastructure (e.g. rivers, lakes). The risks and impacts associated with the deficiencies in urban areas are evident and increasingly frequent: severe and recurrent flooding, excessive heating of urban surfa…
As climate impacts escalate worldwide, adaptation actions to address the consequences of climate change in urban areas are imperative due to adverse impacts on human health, livelihoods, and infrastructure. Incorporating nature-based solutions (NBS) and enhancing communication between climate knowledge and urban planning are crucial for effective and sustainable adaptation strategies, par…
