During an emergency, what should you DO?
Next Saturday, October 24, at 4:30 p.m., Livraria Mirabolante will host the presentation of “Quebrar em caso de emergência climática” (Break in Case of a Climate Emergency), featuring Mariana Rodrigues, Sinan Eden, and Sara Serrão. Co-authored by the Climáximo collective and published by Tigre de Papel, the book brings together testimonies, analysis, and proposals that link the environmental crisis to society’s economic and political choices. Reading it sparks a discussion about current living conditions and the responsibility to build a shared future.
Mariana Rodrigues studied Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, and Data Management. Her career has spanned work with Amnesty International, the student movement, non-formal education, and the defense of human rights—including refugee reception and the rights of LGBTI people. Sinan Eden was born in Turkey, has lived in Portugal since 2011, and earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the Instituto Superior Técnico. He participated in the Turkish student movements and in protests against austerity in Portugal, having coordinated the “Jobs for the Climate” campaign.
Both are members of Climáximo, co-authors of “All In,” and served on the editorial team for “Toward a Just Transition in Sines,” a study that links environmental issues to concerns about employment, income, and community participation.
Sara Serrão brings her experience as director of the Rota Vicentina Association and a long history of defending the local environment, notably as founder and spokespersonspokesperson for the Juntos pelo Sudoeste movement, dedicated to protecting water, biodiversity, and people’s living conditions.
Drawing on the book, we want to discuss what these issues mean here: finding a home, having decent work, caring for water, and being able to stay where you live. Mirabolante invites you to bring your questions and experiences to this gathering. Preserving a just way of life for everyone includes caring for the nature on which that way of life depends.
