ADAPTAÇÃO CLIMÁTICA E GESTÃO DE ZONAS COSTEIRAS NO NOERDESTE BRASILEIRO: ANÁLISE DOS PLANOS DIRETORES DE FORTALEZA, JOÃO PESSOA, RECIFE E SALVADOR

Abstract

This work aims to present an analysis of municipal actions in the management of coastal zones in state capitals of the Northeast region of Brazil, considering the context of climate change and the provisions of the National Climate Change Adaptation Plan (NCCAP). To achieve this, a literature review on the topic and a comparative analysis were conducted, considering the master plans for the management of coastal zones in the coastal cities of Salvador, Fortaleza, Recife, and João Pessoa. The foundation for this study arose from the concern about how these coastal capitals are integrating the climate adaptation process in their coastal areas. The methodology consisted of a literature review on the topic and a comparative analysis, considering the correlation of the collected information with the strategic areas of the NCCAP, specifically focusing on three aspects: "coastal zoning," "climate adaptation," and "permanent preservation area." It is concluded that the main challenges faced by municipal actions include the lack of expediency in updating master plans, the absence of specific regulations regarding climate adaptation policies within the master plans, as well as the lack of specific regulations concerning coastal zoning and constructions along the coastlines. Based on the obtained information, a reflection was made on the current performance of each city in terms of environmental sustainability and resilience to climate change. Understanding the crucial role of municipal actions in public policies aimed at fulfilling national jurisdiction guidelines, with the participation of the population, in order to adapt and mitigate the impacts on the environment.
