Abstract In this paper, we analyze secondary data from surveys focusing on climate change and adaptation in Sao Paulo municipalities. The survey was completed by municipal actors who work in 332 of the 645 municipalities in the State. In this paper, we use a theoretical framework on urban climate governance, which highlights the role that local governments play in proposing strategies to deal with climate change, to present and discuss data related to: 1) the occurrence of extreme climatic events in these municipalities; 2) the impacts of these events; 3) local government actors’ perception about climate change; and 4) local actions and responses. Our analysis of these data significantly contributes to better understanding how cities in the most populous and economically developed state in Brazil perceive, respond and deal with climate change and what critical challenges hamper climate adaptation in these cities.

O objeto dessa pesquisa é analisar a relação entre a temperatura do ar e as emissões veiculares de CO2, na área urbana do ABC Paulista, localizada no sudeste da Região Metropolitana de São Paulo. Conjuntamente são analisadas as projeções de temperatura de dois modelos climáticos utilizados nos relatórios do Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Foram utilizados dados de temperatura do ar na escala temporal horária e mensal, e a estimativa de emissões veiculares foi realizada através do modelo de simulação de tráfego Equilibre Multimodal/Multimodal Equilibrium (EMME). Os resultados mostram que as áreas com as temperaturas mais altas se localizam no setor norte do ABC Paulista, indicando uma ilha de calor de média intensidade (3,6 oC). Este setor também se destacou como o de maior emissão veicular de CO2 em ton/km, por apresentar extensas e movimentadas vias de tráfego. As projeções dos modelos climáticos, apesar das incertezas, indicaram um cenário de dias e noites mais quentes, com um aumento de 6,3 °C na temperatura máxima anual para o período de 2071-2100. A distribuição geográfica das áreas de altas temperaturas e emissões de CO2 sugerem a contribuição do tráfego urbano para o aumento da temperatura no ABC Paulista, a qual tende a crescer conforme projeção do modelo do IPCC.

ABSTRACT DTCS (Dutos e Terminais do Centro Oeste e São Paulo), an operational organ of PETROBRAS, is the organization responsible for the operation of a 2300-km-long pipeline system for the transportation of crude oil and hydrocarbons. Such a system, which is continually growing, has a representative history of leakage occurrences, particularly in its first years of operation. Based on a statistical analysis of these occurrences in the pipeline system, the number of leakages was reduced in the last few years through actions taken to minimize them. Criteria were established to define the proper moment for inspecting the pipelines with corrosion pigs, and other priority actions were also developed to reduce leakage occurrences. The data pertaining to occasional new leakage occurrences are analyzed every 6 months, and a report is issued proposing new actions or ratifying the existing ones.

<p>The thermo-energetic performance of the building is closely related to its climate and, therefore, the effects of climate change can influence the environmental comfort of dwellings over the years. This research aimed to investigate the thermal performance of single-family houses built in different building systems under the influence of the climate change effects on the climate in São Paulo. For this purpose, simulations with EnergyPlus were performed considering four climatic periods: TRY (1954), 2020, 2050 and 2080. The future climate files were generated with the assistance of the CCWorldWeatherGen tool, and the progression generated for the 2020 period was compared with meteorological data measured from 2011 to 2018. The results showed that outdoor air temperature of São Paulo will increase on average of 4.23 °C up to 2100, which will cause the degree-hours for heating (GHA) indicator to decrease to 1.165,24 °Ch and the degree-hours for cooling (GHR) indicator to increase to 144,26 °Ch, according to the constructive system. Furthermore, it was observed that building façades with higher thermal capacity will be important to satisfy the user’s thermal comfort requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to consider climate change in energy efficiency solutions in buildings.</p>

Este trabalho tem como finalidade estudar as correlações genéticas, fenotípicas e de ambientes sobre os pesos de animais da raça Guzerá, criados no estado de São Paulo, aos 205 (P205), 365 (P365) e 550 (P550) dias de idade. Para realização das análises estatísticas, utilizouse da metodologia de modelos mistos, programa MTDFREML. O modelo estatístico continha os efeitos aleatórios de animal, touro, vaca e o erro; e, como efeitos fixos de grupo contemporâneo (fazenda, sexo, estação: (água e seca), mês e ano de nascimento do bezerro) e a covariável idade da vaca ao parto (quadrática). As correlações genética foram iguais a 0,75, entre os P205 e P365; 0,61, entre os P205 e P550 e 0,65, entre os P365 e P550. A correlação de ambiente entre os P205 e P365 foi 0,44; para o P205 e P550 foi 0,49; entre P365 e P550 foi 0,66. Os valores obtidos para as correlações fenotípica foram 0,59, 0,42 e 0,65 entre os P205 e P365; P205 e P550; P365 e P550; respectivamente. Os valores obtidos para as correlações genéticas indicam que a seleção para peso em idades jovens deverá promover mudanças nos pesos posteriores de um mesmo animal, apontando que a seleção poderá ser realizada em idades mais jovens. Genetic, phenotypical and environmental correlations between weight and age in the State of Paulo bovines from the guzera breed Abstract The main purpose of the present research work is centered in the study of genetic, phenotypical and environmental correlations regarding the weight of Guzera breed bovines at 205, 365 and 550 days of age. Statistical analysis was carried out by the methodology of mixing models, programs MTDFREML, the statistical model containing the aleatory effects of the animal, sire, cow and the error, and as fixed effects of contemporary group - farm, sex, season, water and drought, the year of birth of the calf, and the covariable age of dam. The genetic correlations was found to be equal do 0.75, 0.61 and 0.65, between P295 and P365. P205 and P550, and P365 and P550, respectively. The environmental correlation between P205 and P365, P205 and P550, and P365 and P550 was 0.44, 0.49 and 0.66, respectively. The phenotypical correlation between P205 and P365, P205 and P550, and P365 and P550 was of 0.59, 0.42, and 0.65, respectively. The values found for the genetic correlations indicate the possibility to select the animals, taking their weight as a parameter, earlier during their life.
