Brazil is South America's largest country and economy, represented mainly by agricultural commodities. Its vast rainforest and biodiversity are at constant risk from human actions that are seen by scientists contributing to climate change. This article dissects how Brazil influences and is directly and indirectly affected by climate change and possible strategies to control the current situation. Climate change impacts Brazilian public health in multi-scenarios and is influenced by socioeconomical and geopolitical aspects, such as urbanization, access to sanitation and sewage, precipitation intensity and frequency, and public health policies. Therefore, surveillance and control measures, alongside socioeconomic policies, must be orchestrated to minimize human actions that impact climate change.
巴西是南美洲最大的国家和经济体，主要以农产品为代表。其广袤的雨林和生物多样性不断受到人类活动的威胁，科学家认为这些活动导致了气候变化。本文剖析了巴西如何影响气候变化以及如何直接和间接受其影响，还探讨了控制当前局势的可能策略。气候变化在多种情景下影响巴西公众健康，并受到社会经济和地缘政治因素的影响，如城市化、卫生和污水处理设施的可及性、降水强度和频率以及公共卫生政策。因此，必须精心安排监测和控制措施以及社会经济政策，以尽量减少影响气候变化的人类活动。
