Each storm that floods a bus terminal, or a heat wave that makes walking and cycling a challenge, demonstrates that climate change is fundamentally affecting how people move. And the communities who depend most on public transport, walking, and cycling are the ones who face the most significant health and safety risks.
Recognizing the ever-changing nature of this issue, ITDP Brazil has released the 2025 edition of its Climate Change Vulnerability Index for Urban Mobility (IVMU), a tool the team first published in 2018. This updated study provides a comprehensive and comparable picture of how prepared or exposed various Brazilian cities are to the impacts of climate change and extreme weather on their mobility infrastructure.
