Brazil El Niño climate response

Overview

The Brazilian federal government has initiated measures to prepare for the projected 2026-2027 El Niño phenomenon, which experts suggest could be one of the strongest recorded since 1950. Initially, the Ministry of Development and Social Assistance, Family and Fight Against Hunger established an extraordinary cabinet to coordinate social protection and monitor strategic data to support decisions during public calamities.

As the situation progressed, the national strategy expanded to include a task force in Santa Catarina and a budget of R$ 1.335 billion for nationwide preparation and response. While the South of Brazil faces risks of intense rainfall and flooding, other regions are experiencing droughts, heatwaves, and wildfires. In Espírito Santo, the phenomenon is already impacting local weather through irregular rainfall and elevated temperatures.
