SUMMARY:

This dissertation examines climate risk management in Angra dos Reis (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), as designed by the State in partnership with corporations and guided by technical-scientific knowledge. The investigation begins with the case of the rockfill works carried out on the Bracuí River, seeking to understand their implications for the Quilombo Santa Rita do Bracuí community, particularly regarding their territoriality, knowledge, and practices. To this end, the research follows the revision process of the Angra dos Reis Master Plan through participation in events and an analysis of the new document set to take effect from 2025 on, treating it as a central instrument for the legitimization of territorial interventions. A bibliographic survey has been conducted around the categories “risk”, “vulnerability”, “adaptation”, “mitigation” and “resilience”, as well as the material produced by researchers and leaders of the Quilombo and by organizations working to defend the traditional territories of Angra dos Reis and the region. By articulating the epistemological contributions emerging from the fields of Latin American Political Ecology, Black Studies, and the struggles against environmental racism, this study highlights the institutional pathways through which the Quilombola territory is reconfigured in its physical and semantic dimensions, perpetuating logics of erasure of Black bodies in the production of Angra’s spatial landscape under the guise of climate security.
