MONITORING

It's crucial that people understand climate data to protect themselves from the growing risks posed by extreme weather events like storms, heat waves, and floods . Understanding this data allows people to anticipate dangerous situations, plan their daily routines safely, and demand evidence-based action from authorities.

With this in mind, the Baixadas Observatory offers an educational digital environment that helps interpret data from the Windy platform , facilitating public access to information that was previously technical and difficult to access. This strengthens community autonomy in the face of climate change.
