Experts say many sugarcane farmers – who form the core of the local farming industry – are unable to afford the pesticides required to contain the worm once it’s been detected, which could increase its chances of spreading further.The armyworms, which arrived in west Africa from the Americas early in 2016, spread south through Zambia and Zimbabwe before arriving in Africa’s biggest producer of maize. The alien pest, confirmed in SA in February, has already spread to all nine provinces, including eastern KwaZulu-Natal, where the bulk of cane is grown. | |

Além desses fatores, é importante destacar a questão do desmatamento, que causa erosão, e do lixo despejado nos morros, que causa excesso de peso nas estruturas do solo. Todos os anos há chuvas intensas no inverno. Em 2015, ocorreu uma tragédia em que 15 pessoas morreram em um deslizamento de terra em um bairro pobre de Salvador. Desde então, a prefeitura tem intensificado os esforços para reduzir o impacto dos eventos climáticos e envolver a comunidade local. No entanto, ainda existem muitos desafios devido à falta de recursos humanos e materiais, falta de apoio de algumas lideranças locais devido a orientações políticas contrárias ao atual governo e dificuldade de acesso a algumas áreas devido à sua precariedade. No futuro próximo, as chuvas fortes continuarão a impactar os moradores urbanos informais, devido à rápida expansão urbana e à topografia peculiar de Salvador.A partir do mapeamento realizado, é possível observar que o maior nível de ameaça de deslizamento concentra-se na porção sul da cidade de Salvador, diminuindo à medida que se aproxima de áreas mais ao norte. A análise temporal indica uma tendência de redução do nível de ameaça ao longo dos períodos analisados, e em 2030 espera-se que mais áreas estejam sob ameaça alta e muito alta em comparação com 2100. | |

Além disso, as estimativas mostram que aproximadamente 67% dos anos entre 1976-2099 mostram precipitação máxima anual em um dia maior que 50 mm. O mapa de risco de inundação para a cidade mostra que boa parte do território, e consequentemente a população, poderão sofrer com o aumento do risco de inundações, sendo isso apontando para os anos de 2030, 2050 e 2100. | |

As análises indicam que, ao longo dos anos, os problemas relacionados ao déficit hídrico tendem a se acentuar, estando a região da Barragem da Pedra do Cavalo mais exposta a níveis altos e / ou muito altos de ameaça de seca em 2030, 2050 e 2100. Tal fator pode estar relacionado à tendência de redução das chuvas ao longo dos anos. Assim, a falta de precipitação tende a aumentar a área de seca meteorológica, afetando principalmente o entorno de Salvador.Os fatores que intensificam o risco passam a ser a exposição e vulnerabilidade da população. Nesse caso, a condição de déficit habitacional, juntamente com as concentrações populacionais, são os maiores determinantes na definição das áreas de maior risco. A renda é um fator especialmente importante para a capacidade de adaptação relacionada à seca, uma vez que a taxa de oferta auxilia na capacidade adaptativa da população e, consequentemente, na redução de sua vulnerabilidade.O mapa de risco de seca meteorológica indica que a parte do território de Salvador localizada nas regiões sudoeste, oeste e noroeste serão as regiões de maior risco. | |

Salvador já sofre com eventos extremos diários de chuva. Em abril de 2020, por exemplo, a cidade registrou, em um dia, 1/3 da chuva esperada para o mês, o que significa cerca de 100mm. A análise mostra uma tendência de redução das chuvas na cidade de Salvador nas séries temporais analisadas e aponta para um aumento da variabilidade interanual, ou seja, anos de excesso de chuvas são projetados muito acima do normal atual e anos de déficit de chuvas muito abaixo do normal. Pelas projeções, os períodos de dias consecutivos sem chuva serão mais longos, assim como os períodos consecutivos com chuva serão mais curtos. Os modelos indicam que os eventos extremos diários de chuva ocorrerão com acúmulos crescentes. Ressalta-se que as projeções de 5 dias de chuva acumulados mostram um aumento ao longo do século XXI, tornando as áreas da parte alta do município de Salvador mais vulneráveis a deslizamentos, visto que existem declives acentuados. | |

Neste caso, a condição de déficit habitacional, juntamente com as concentrações de população sensível (crianças e idosos), principalmente nas áreas menos arborizadas, são os maiores determinantes na definição das áreas de maior risco. A renda é um fator especialmente importante na capacidade de adaptação relativamente às ondas de calor, pois permite a adoção de tecnologias que podem reduzir o risco. Além disso, o acesso aos sistemas de saúde foi considerado uma capacidade adaptativa, visto que quanto maior o acesso a esses serviços, melhor preparada estará a região para reduzir os impactos na saúde da população devido aos picos de temperatura, bem como às áreas verdes, desde a proximidade de essas áreas podem ser entendidas como um fator que reduz a temperatura local.O mapa do índice de risco de ondas de calor indica que boa parte do território, e consequentemente a população, pode sofrer com o aumento do risco de ondas de calor, sendo este apontado para os anos de 2030, 2050 e 2100. O mapa do risco crítico, que aponta as áreas mais críticas em relação ao risco de onda de calor aponta que quase todas as prefeituras têm risco elevado. | |

Ressalta-se que nas análises realizadas, o clima foi tratado como fator condicionante para a ocorrência do vetor, e no combate aos focos de acúmulo de água, ou seja, locais propícios para a criação do mosquito transmissor da doença, a melhor forma de evitar a proliferação da doença.Pelos resultados é possível observar um aumento da ameaça da proliferação do Aedes aegypti em todo o território de Salvador em todos os períodos analisados. Nota-se que a ameaça no período histórico concentra-se no leste de Salvador, no litoral próximo ao Oceano Atlântico, e para as projeções de 2030, 2050 e 2100, a ameaça é crescente, penetrando quase todo o território.Os fatores que intensificam o risco são a exposição e vulnerabilidade da população. Neste caso, em termos de sensibilidade, a condição de déficit habitacional, a par das concentrações de população sensível (crianças e idosos), a falta de acesso ao abastecimento, o reduzido índice de recolha de lixo e a proximidade de terrenos baldios são os factores fortalecer a definição das áreas de maior risco. Em termos de capacidade adaptativa, a renda, as taxas de alfabetização de mulheres com mais de 15 anos e o acesso ao sistema de saúde são fatores que contribuem para reduzir a vulnerabilidade da população. | |

A Ilha de Maré, por sua vez, é identificada como totalmente exposta à elevação do nível do mar, que deve afetar diretamente suas áreas ocupadas / urbanizadas, todas localizadas no litoral ao longo da ilha. Embora seja uma área de pequena população, o tamanho do território afetado é bastante expressivo, o que torna esta região uma das mais impactadas pela dinâmica, que já está em andamento, embora lentamente diante de outras urgências.2) A região do Paripe é alcançada em uma área de urbanização consolidada e de ocupação predominantemente horizontal. Apesar da baixa densidade da região, trata-se de uma área considerável de área urbana desenvolvida e ocupada, com maior grau de vulnerabilidade devido à baixa renda da população, que pode ser mais gravemente afetada em situações de risco.3) A Península de Itapagipe tem boa parte de seu litoral afetado pelo aumento do nível do mar - que é composto em grande parte por ocupações via aterros. Esta é uma das áreas com impacto mais significativo em todo o município, devido ao padrão de ocupação consolidado, à dimensão da população e à quantidade de actividades não residenciais alcançadas e ao significado simbólico-cultural da área para a cidade. É também uma região altamente sensível ao risco de expulsão da população de baixa renda devido ao impacto das intervenções de adequação da infraestrutura, que podem se constituir em um processo de desestruturação social que gera impactos em toda a cidade.4) A próxima região ao sul segue a orla e vai da Feira de São Joaquim ao Mercado Modelo. O impacto nesta área também é muito elevado devido à sua densidade construtiva e à existência de grandes equipamentos de infraestrutura, de extrema importância para a cidade, nas áreas diretamente afetadas. Existe também uma oportunidade significativa para a solução construtiva ser pensada em termos convergentes com o pensamento urbanístico em vigor por parte do poder público municipal, de valorização da região através da instalação de secretarias municipais de bairro.5) A última grande região compreende o litoral mais apropriado pela população devido às suas praias, impactando no turismo e no emprego. | |
