RESUMO
Este artigo pretende contribuir com o debate sobre mudanças ambientais e climáticas no nível local a partir de uma pesquisa qualitativa na cidade de São Paulo. Busca compreender como tais mudanças são entendidas pelos indivíduos e percebidas (ou não) no cotidiano, em particular para aqueles que vivem em aglomerados urbanos bastante adensados, nos quais as questões climáticas podem agravar os riscos aos quais estão expostos. Para a análise, as autoras consideram as especificidades de São Paulo, particularmente das duas localidades estudadas em profundidade, dialogando com reflexões críticas provenientes das Ciências Humanas e buscando destacar, neste movimento de resposta aos problemas urbanos e riscos climáticos, a importância de considerar a população como parte integrante, se não fundamental, para as mudanças socioambientais diante da crise que se aproxima.
ABSTRACT
This article aims to contribute to the recent debate of environmental and climate change at local level. Drawing on qualitative research in São Paulo city, we seek to comprehend how people understand and perceive (or not) environmental and climate change in their daily life, in particular whom are living in densely populated urban areas where climate issues may bring a set of hazards that would further exacerbate the urban problems and risks. In this analysis, we consider some specificities of São Paulo (including specificities of two neighborhoods which have been studied in depth), and make references to reflections and critical perspectives from Human Sciences. In this movement of responses to urban and climate issues, we seek to highlight the role of local communities, who are central to the societal and environmental changes to deal with the approaching crisis.
