A national study prepared by 345 researchers pointed out that the average temperature in Brazil will increase between 3 ° C and 6 ° C by the end of the century. The report, which analyzed in detail each region of the country, reveals that the north and northeast will experience more droughts, while in the southeast and in the southern region, the increase in rainfall will contribute to the occurrence of more floods.

Data also consider where they are registered the highest rates of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere, and are part of the first evaluation report of the national Brazilian Panel on Climate Change, to be published in full only in September. The study was compiled by researchers from different areas.

To prepare the document, experts were divided into three groups and analyzed the biomes of each region. Thus, they concluded that the scenario will be dry in the Caatinga and the Amazon, due to reduced rainfall by 40% in these areas. Already in the Pampas and the Atlantic, the precipitation will be 30% more frequent.

Produced in stages, the study took into account a number of scientific research published since 2007: the first group considered the data on climate change in Brazil, the second analyzed the impacts on the environment and the third group researched ways to mitigate greenhouse gases in the country.

The study was designed to the same standards of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), United Nations group that makes assessments on climate change on a global scale. The report is one of the first to use global rules for detailing the climate scenario exclusively Brazilian 2100.
