Brazil 2026

برزیل

Brazil (Brasil) enters 2027 with 214.2 million residents, an electricity system that was 86.8% renewable in 2025 and a sharp fall in forest loss. Gross greenhouse-gas emissions fell 16.7% in 2024 to 2,145 Mt CO₂e, driven by lower deforestation, while net emissions of 1.49 Gt CO₂e remain above the 0.85 to 1.05 Gt range set for 2035.

02 · Sectors

Six sectors, one hexagon.

Water first, then Energy, Infrastructure, Food, Health and Biodiversity. Each count is the findings of this edition in that sector: coverage of the evidence, never a score. Infrastructure is not assessed: the edition holds no Infrastructure finding and its coupling matrix does not assess it.

Outside the six sectors: Climate forcing 2, Finance 1, Systemic 1.

03 · Hazard exposure

The hazards this edition reads.

The edition’s own risk objects, in its order, each read across driver, exposure, vulnerability, capacity, cascade and horizon. The hexagon marks the sectors the cascade reaches; the domain beside each is an editorial reading of its hazard words.

Scenario · SCN-BRA-DRT-01

Strong El Niño drought across rivers, hydropower and fire

Under this scenario, results describe a conditional season under stated assumptions. It is not a forecast, and no intervention described here has been carried out.

04 · Couplings

How the sectors carry risk into each other.

The Brazil matrix types the twenty couplings between the five core سامانه‌ها. Strengths are Nexus estimates from the cited evidence and analogue events; they set the starting graph that the Q1 2027 Foundry cut will test.
