Digital Exclusion of Favelas from the Solar Map of Rio de Janeiro (March 2020)

unapi

The city of Rio de Janeiro is known worldwide for its natural beauty, with blue sea beaches and mountains covered by ebullient forests. However, less recognized in the tourist guides is the face of the city revealed by extreme events such as storms and floods that, more and more frequently, reach Rio's hillsides and lowlands, taking with them houses, lives, and dreams - especially those of the most impoverished segments of the population that live in these regions. These population groups also suffer from what economists are calling "energy poverty", in which marginalized communities regularly lack legal access to energy utilities due to either poor service provision or generalized economic exclusion.
