Abstract

Unprecedented flooding in May has severely affected the agricultural sector in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil’s southernmost state and a major agribusiness zone. Record high rainfall has affected more than 90% of the state—an area comparable to the United Kingdom—resulting in at least 173 deaths, about 1,000 residents injured, and nearly 600,000 people displaced. More than 2 million people have been directly affected by the ongoing climate crisis in Rio Grande do Sul.
