This dissertation analyzes the anthropogenic climate crisis through the intersection of geopolitics, international climate governance, and human rights, with particular attention to the historical and structural asymmetries between the Global North and the Global South. It is grounded in the understanding that climate change is not merely an environmental phenomenon, but rather a crisis produced by historical processes of industrialization, the expansion of fossil capitalism, and the unequal appropriation of natural resources, whose impacts fall disproportionately on historically vulnerable populations and territories. Methodologically, this study adopts a qualitative approach based on bibliographic and documentary research, drawing on specialized academic literature, scientific reports, and international normative documents related to climate governance and human rights. The analysis examines the consolidation of the scientific consensus regarding the anthropogenic origin of the climate crisis, the trajectory of international climate governance and its main institutional milestones, as well as the structural limitations of multilateral regimes designed to address the crisis, marked by the centrality of state sovereignty, geopolitical disputes, the influence of economic interests associated with fossil fuels, and the growing financialization of climate responses. In the field of human rights, the dissertation argues that the climate crisis constitutes a structural and multidimensional violation of fundamental rights, undermining rights such as life, health, food, water, housing, and the self-determination of peoples, while also placing pressure on international mechanisms of accountability and protection. It concludes that current climate governance models remain insufficient in the face of the magnitude of the crisis, insofar as they reproduce historical power asymmetries and constrain the development of responses genuinely guided by climate justice. Finally, it argues that addressing the climate crisis requires not only greater institutional ambition, but also structural transformations in development models, global power relations, and contemporary forms of socio-environmental governance.

The methodology comprised bibliographic and documentary research, field inspections, geodetic positioning using GNSS receivers processed via IBGE’s Precise Point Positioning service, as well as traversing and detail irradiation using a total station. The collected data were integrated into a Geographic Information System environment and compared against the property deed, the certification from the Land Management System (SIGEF), municipal registry records, and available environmental data. The results revealed discrepancies between the perimeter physically occupied by the park and its officially registered boundaries. Approximately 0.3200 ha of occupied area was identified outside the official polygon, encompassing parts of the infrastructure used by the park, such as the parking lot, main entrance, lake, and sand volleyball courts. Furthermore, outdated municipal cartographic representations were identified, along with structure encroachments within Permanent Preservation Areas delineated from field-surveyed drainage lines. It is concluded that the integration of geodetic surveys, land registry documentation, and geospatial databases enabled the identification of territorial inconsistencies and the generation of technical inputs for cadastral updating, land tenure regularization, and the environmental management of urban public areas.

The investigated theme concerns Radiology: a study involving women in a University Hospital located in the Triângulo Mineiro region, Brazil. Understanding the insertion and trajectory of women in radiology, a field historically marked by challenges related to working conditions, exposure to occupational hazards, and gender inequalities, is essential for both organizational environments and workers’ health. The objective of this research was to understand the factors contributing to the low female representation in the radiology profession. The bibliographic research, based on books, scientific articles, and institutional publications, highlighted the trajectory of women in Brazilian radiology, emphasizing their historical participation and the challenges faced in professional practice. It enabled an understanding of the process of women's integration into the field, from the pioneering contributions of Marie Curie to the contemporary professional context. The findings demonstrated the importance of women in the development of radiology while also revealing the persistence of gender inequalities, expressed through discrimination, limitations in career advancement, and underrepresentation in leadership positions. The study concluded that, despite significant progress, actions aimed at promoting gender equity, professional recognition, and improved working conditions for women in the field are still needed. The empirical research was conducted with 14 female workers from the Diagnostic Imaging Unit of a University Hospital in the Triângulo Mineiro region. The results showed that although radiation protection measures are in place and ionizing radiation risks are largely controlled, less visible occupational hazards persist, particularly those of an ergonomic and psychosocial nature. Participants reported physical overload associated with the prolonged use of lead aprons, strain resulting from hospital work dynamics, and mental distress. The discussion pointed that the traditional radiation protection model, centered on ionizing radiation, is insufficient to encompass the complexity of the risks experienced by these workers, highlighting the existence of occupational health issues that remain obscured by work organization.
