Mercator (Fortaleza) [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.4, pp.47-63. ISSN 1984-2201.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4215/rm2016.1504.0004.

This paper presents an overview of the discussion on the process of socio-environmental climate governance at the local level, without neglecting global and national aspects. In recent decades, new actors and new forms of management have emerged on these scales in the public and private sector, as well as the third sector and collective action. The study makes a critical analysis of the local governance process in the municipalities of Curitiba, the state capital of Paraná and its surroundings, in Fazenda Rio Grande and Araucária, specifically regarding the segment connected to public institutions. The argument was constructed from a mapping of the policies and actions of various state and municipal government agencies. In this analysis preference is given to the aspects of tackling, preventing and mitigating possible disasters and hazards associated with future climate conditions and their insertion into the State Policy on Climate Change, the document that directs state governance in the area.

Keywords : Climatic events; Environmental governance; Public policies; Risks and hazards.
