Context and objective: This study aims to analyze the environmental policies implemented in the municipality of Curitiba, located in the state of Paraná, Brazil, and their correlation with the anticipation and reduction of risks revealed by the climate emergency. The focus is on understanding, initially in the theoretical field, how municipal management evaluates, represents, and responds to these risks, as well as, in field research, how they manage the costs associated with their actions or inactions in this context. Methodology: Using a qualitative methodological approach, a bibliographic review of Ulrich Beck's theories on the World Risk Society and Serge Moscovici's theories on Social Representation was initially conducted, and how they converge to understand the problem of Global Climate Change. Results and contribution: Finally, the empirical results provide an opportunity to establish a theoretical-analytical framework capable of contributing to qualitative research that addresses the thought systems and anticipation of political managers in the face of the climate emergency and world risk societies as a physical object, but also a social one (which needs to be anticipated, debated, and re-signified). This is a question that is both present and necessary in contemporary times.
