Análise comparativa sobre os estudos bioclimáticos no Brasil e em Portugal: articulações e desafios

The climatic differences and population vulnerability of distinct space-time dimensions reverberate in different situations of socio-environmental risk. Thereby, the objective of this study is to analyze climatic risks and impacts on health in Brazil and Portugal territory; comprising the specificities, territorial dynamics and the different geographies that exist in both countries. For this purpose, published research and studies on human bioclimatology on both territories were selected, moreover, data from World Health Organization (wHO) was collected. This data has been statistically analyzed for the understanding of the morbidity profile differences between Brazilian and Portuguese population, asso- ciated to the climatic risks. It was verified that the vulnerability socio-environmental and risk factors management conditions offer differentiated resilience capacity in the territories. In this context, the use of climatology as an instrument for planning and promotion on health is essential for impacts reduction.
