As the effects of climate extremes especially affect vulnerable and historically marginalized populations, how can Rio de Janeiro promote climate justice and guarantee solutions for the necessary changes? What is the role of public policies, socio-environmental movements, communities, and social mobilization in promoting the resilience necessary for the new times?
