'The shipwreck may be general, but the drowning is selective,' says Preto Zezé, from CUFA, on climate crisis

oglobo30 August 2026 at 14:00

Preto Zezé, one of the founders of CUFA Brasil and president of CUFA-RJ, is the guest speaker to address climate emergencies in the favelas during the anniversary of ENSP/Fiocruz, on the 3rd.

The event marks the celebration of another year of the National School of Public Health of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, an institution affiliated with the Ministry of Health.

On this occasion, Preto Zezé intends to address how the environmental crisis disproportionately affects peripheral communities and favelas in Brazil.

The founder of CUFA uses a metaphor to summarize his view on the issue: "the shipwreck may be general, but the drowning is selective," pointing out that the impacts of climate change do not affect everyone equally.

Iran: Leader calls on Muslim countries to unite against US and Israel

Iran's supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, called on Muslim countries to unite against the United States and Israel, in a written message cited by AFP. Khamenei, who succeeded his father who died in February, stated that the solution to the problems of the Muslim Umma lies in unity and cooperation, designating the US and Israel as the "true enemy" of all Muslim countries. In response to the Israeli-American offensive, Iran attacked countries allied with Washington in the region and blocked the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's oil circulates, generating fears of a global economic crisis. Tehran faces a US naval blockade and hardened sanctions on Monday, with Khamenei also calling for the progressive "de-dollarization" of the Iranian economy.
