This project is linked to the Science and Technology National Institute for Climate Change (INCT-MC) - FAPESP Grant number 14/50848-9 - and proposes to replicate some of the INCT-MC features in the Chilean case. Given the focus of the call, we plan to adapt one of its sub-components ("food security") and one of its transversal themes ("economy and impacts on key sectors") to Chilean agroi…
The INCT Climate Change aims to implement and develop a comprehensive network of interdisciplinary research on global change and sustainability, and is based on the cooperation between about 30 research groups from all regions of Brazil and 10 international research groups, involving in its entirety over approximately 300 researchers, students and technicians and establishing itself as on…
An important debate on the consequences of the expansion of the Brazilian ethanol economy has been conducted inside the country and abroad, given the strategic importance of the Brazilian ethanol to the future of the world energy matrix. In this context, the project we propose here will conduct an econometric analysis of a time series data set for the Brazilian exports of ethanol, sugar, …

The project aims to develop integrated modeling to measure the economic impacts of extreme events. The fundamental issue to be addressed is the influence of extreme events on the socioeconomic development agenda, particularly regarding regional growth and inequality. The effects of these events will be evaluated through an integrated approach using knowledge from different research fields…
The increase in average temperatures and changes in the relative humidity of the air, climate change-related effects, will have severe consequences for the global economy. Such consequences can be even more catastrophic in large urban centers in developing countries, where uncoordinated urbanization, population growth and the lack of resources, characteristic of these regions, tend to wid…
