Abstract
Manaus, due to the growth process it has undergone in recent decades, is among the cities with a high level of environmental vulnerability. According to the IPCC 6th Climate Change Report, the impacts of climate change will hit hardest the poor populations with limited adaptive capacity. This article shows the IPCC's warnings about the risks of global warming, the great inequalities in the distribution of Amazonian populations, and the seriousness of the increase in deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions that compromise the lives not only of the region's inhabitants, but of the planet as a whole. Moreover, it emphasizes the need for urgent solutions in order to contain the degradation process of the Amazon rainforest, actions that include defending the Amazonian biome and the objective and efficient confrontation of the problems of pollutant emissions, through energy efficiency practices.
