Resumo:
The objective of this work was to understand the processes of construction of environmental risk and racism in the city of Salvador - BA. It starts with the real contradiction between projects related to climate risks and racist conceptions that intentionally or unintentionally deepen as spatial, social and environmental inequalities. The State and the media are historically allied social institutions. To achieve the objective, analyze the hegemonic discourses made official by the media and how they treat the environmental impacts in Salvador of the newspaper “Correio da Bahia: what Bahia wants to know” on the newspaper's electronic platform. At first, these reports were treated and classified into two groups, namely: i) Extreme events and episodes in Salvador 2009 to 2018; ii) Actions and non-actions of the State. At the moment, seeking to overcome the hegemonic logic of accountability of the affected subjects and, also, that only days with exceptionalities in accumulated of accumulated can trigger
extreme episodes, it was faced with calls from citizens to CODESAL, with accumulated data to return from INMET and data from records of landslide and flooding episodes from CODESAL. In the third moment, the neighborhoods with the highest number of reports on landslides, flooding or State intervention were classified into two groups, therefore, neighborhoods inhabited by affected individuals, hence territories at risk in Salvador, were: a) Center; b) Core of Salvador. In the fourth and last moment, the same newspaper was analyzed
and classified into the following groups: i) assistance between the conditions of habituality and exceptionality; ii) Presence and absence of risk (State); iii) Naturalization of phenomena. Finally, it is presented as a reading and analysis of reality made through the geography of the climate can be another possibility and an instrument in the struggle for civil rights.
