The labor relationship developed by the Amazonian riverside dwellers is weakened due to changes in temperature, the flood pulse, the ebb tide of the rivers, and precipitation. In this context, this research aimed to evaluate the impacts of climate change on the socio-biodiversity chains in the region of Médio Juruá-Amazonas. Collections were carried out in two communities located in the Sustainable Development Reserve (RDS) Uacari, in July 2022, through participatory workshops. The communities affirm that the extreme flood events of the Juruá River are more intense in recent years, both concerning the extreme levels of the river and in periodicity and speed of flooding. The large floods have impacted the productive calendar, generating losses for farmers. In addition, rubber trees and cassava plantations have been dying with the large floods, and oil seeds are being carried by the water before harvest. The physical data of the Juruá River shows a trend of increasing extreme floods over the last 40 years for the period November to April, highlighting the years 2013 to 2015 and 2021 with the largest positive anomalies. Farmers have adapted their calendars, modified some planting areas to locations with higher altitudes and farther from the river banks, and have sought new rubber matrices. The results point to the need for mitigation and adaptation measures promoted by local governments.

The aim of this study was to analyse an extreme rainfall event occurred in Manaus, Brazil, based on data from satellite images and radar and meteorological stations. The studied event took place on September 30th 2013, 2013 and caused extensive materialdamage to the local communit. Satellite images show the formation of an intense convective activity on the border between the states of Amazonas and Pará at 05:30 local time, which spread westwards and reached Manaus 6 hours later. The radar images show the spread of convective activity in the form of a line that propagated toward the city causing strong convection in the western sector of the urban area of Manaus. One of the meteorological surface stations show that the rain’s volume exceeded what was expected for the entire month of September. The results also show that there was an average temperature drop of between 8-9 C for approximately 50 minutes during the event.
