Orçamento público e gestão de desastres climáticos

Abstract

In order to identify the budget resources earmarked for disaster response actions, the budget databases of the Integrated Planning and Budget System - SIOP, maintained and developed by the Federal Budget Secretariat, were used. In order to identify disaster budget actions, the four government programs associated with the topic were selected. The period of analysis includes the creation of the programs, which covers the period from 2004 to 2022. The timeline of a climate disaster covers three moments: before, during and after the disaster. Public policies for dealing with disasters act in these three stages, both in disaster risk management and in disaster management. For this reason, the budget actions of the four programs were categorized into prevention/mitigation actions, preparedness actions and response and recovery actions. The categorization was based on the typologies of disaster management actions in the PNPDEC (Law No. 12.608/2012) and the international conceptual framework, which is based on the Sendai Framework. When analyzing the evolution of resources earmarked for the federal government's disaster management programs, it can be seen that federal spending on response/recovery actions makes up the bulk of spending on disaster management. In addition, the low budget execution of the programs stands out. While the prevention/mitigation and preparedness actions show less than 30% budget execution, the liquidated values of the response and recovery category are four times higher than the initial appropriation values.
