A new study evaluates early warning systems across 2,289 Brazilian municipalities using the ICLEWS framework, revealing significant gaps in staffing, financing, social participation, and governance.

The research underscores the critical need for enhanced local capacities to effectively manage and respond to environmental and climatic risks.

Historically vulnerable regions within Brazil face increased socio-economic fallout due to inadequate early warning systems, exacerbating ecological degradation and relocation implications.
