Resumo:
The history of humanity is marked by the constant transformation of the environment since the beginning, however, after the Industrial Revolution, the predatory and exclusionary way of the human race significantly altered the relationship with nature, triggering an imbalance outside the previously known normal patterns. Extreme events such as the heat wave in Russia (2010), worsened by smoke inhalation due to forest fires that caused at least 56,000 deaths, or the heat wave in Europe (2004) where approximately 3,400 died, or in Japan (2010 ) with 1,700 deaths and many other events that were potentially worsened by anthropogenic activities, show the collapse of a planet that is no longer supporting life with such high standards. Given this frame of reference, this research aimed to analyze the evolution of scientific production in journals in the second decade of the 21st century on climate change, disasters and health on Brazilian soil. The methodological procedures to achieve this objective were: a) survey of references; b) systematic bibliographical research and; c) spatialization of results. With this we can see a very low percentage of Brazil with studies related to climate change, with emphasis only on problems caused by events of this nature. In this way, geographic science is fundamental to understanding these new and old phenomena that afflict humanity, since its approach brings to the world the possibility of looking at society and nature in an integrated and interconnected way.
