Climate & Waste Pickers Bulletin, issue nº 1

By WIEGO on April 10, 2025

The Monitoring Extreme Weather Events project is developed by WIEGO with support from the Mãos Pro Futuro Program. It aims to create a monitoring system that relates extreme weather events to the impacts on workspaces, working conditions, and livelihoods of waste pickers in six Brazilian cities: Belo Horizonte, Belém, Brasília, Florianópolis, Manaus, and Salvador.

The Climate & Waste Pickers Bulletin summarises the findings of monitoring of the impacts of extreme events on the workplaces of waste pickers in the cities monitored.
