SUMMARY:

The climate emergency becomes the inescapable state experienced by a modernity originated in created risks, various forms of inequalities, and the accentuation of vulnerabilities of certain groups of people due to climate/environmental issues. Thus, being a black person, a woman, a child, an Amazonian, a resident of hills, slums, and slopes, being quilombola or belonging to indigenous peoples, being a inhabitant of the Global South have become decisive characteristics regarding the expansion of violence on the minimum rights derived from climate-related issues. In this context, climate/environmental disasters – the most evident result of an unbalanced environment – have served, or should serve, as a focal point for the implementation of public policies capable of reducing inequalities to which the most vulnerable groups are exposed, and ensuring everyone's minimal enjoyment of rights such as housing, health, quality transportation, access to full employment, clean water, and the right to breathe clean air. This advocacy finds shelter in the equity movement called climate justice. From this perspective, pointing out, analyzing, and guiding how disaster public policies can ensure, through the fight for rights, a climate justice combating vulnerabilities of various kinds becomes the main objective of this doctoral thesis. From this, other specific objectives unfold, namely: a) identify inequality markers resulting in climate injustices in Brazil; b) identify the main causes and consequences of environmental disasters; c) understand climate justice in the realm of recognizing the struggle for the survival of vulnerable groups; d) analyze the vulnerability concept applicable to the purposes of this thesis; e) understand why the planet is experiencing a climate emergency; f) propose innovative public policies to address environmental disasters; g) present the concept of climate justice, which should underpin disaster public policies, a concept still presented in mathematical language. Given the stated problem and objectives, the introduction reserved space for addressing methodological and research-related definitions. The methodological path taken in this thesis involves the use of deductive reasoning, starting from the analysis of the use of climate justice as a procedure and/or content in the claim for rights in the environmental/climate field. The research development was divided into two moments. In the first, the climate justice movement was described from its occurrence to the equity dimension it currently has, emphasizing the struggle for the survival of vulnerable groups as a form of seeking justice. In the second, the focus was on the concept and other relevant issues related to environmental disasters and combat public policies.In light of the journey taken throughout this writing, the perception arises that this research can serve as a path to reduce disaster risks and protect vulnerable individuals in this context. Therefore, there is an unwavering advocacy for the implementation of public policies to combat disasters, ensuring the applicability of climate justice as a constant proportion in disaster prevention and responses. Thus, finally, in the conclusion, a mapping tool is proposed to measure the applicability of climate justice in disaster public policies based on objective and subjective criteria.
