 TEXTO 1:
Impact of Climate Change on Firefighting
Extends Beyond Wildfires
Global warming is often mentioned as a factor in the accelerating frequency and intensity of wildfires.
O aquecimento global é frequentemente mencionado como um fator na aceleração da frequência e intensidade dos incêndios florestais. 
However, there are other consequences of global warming that impact the fire service, including new hazards and medical emergencies, emerging training challenges, population migration, and technology developments.
No entanto, existem outras consequências do aquecimento global que afetam os bombeiros, incluindo novos perigos e emergências médicas, desafios emergentes de formação, migração populacional e desenvolvimentos tecnológicos.
Climate change is often discussed as a future event.
As alterações climáticas são frequentemente discutidas como um evento futuro.
However, the impact of wildfires is just the most obvious example of how climate change is already impacting the world, and fire and emergency personnel will be called on to mitigate the effects.
No entanto, o impacto dos incêndios florestais é apenas o exemplo mais óbvio de como as alterações climáticas já estão afetandor o mundo, e o pessoal de combate a incêndios e de emergência será chamado para mitigar os efeitos.
The most obvious and extreme impact of global warming can be seen in the increase of frequency and intensity of wildfires.
O impacto mais óbvio e extremo do aquecimento global pode ser visto no aumento da frequência e intensidade dos incêndios florestais.
Hotter and drier weather is extending the wildfire season (maybe to become year-round?). Higher temperatures, low humidity, less rainfall, and high wind increase the likelihood of wildfires.
O clima mais quente e seco está prolongando a temporada de incêndios florestais (talvez para o ano todo?). Temperaturas mais altas, baixa umidade, menos chuvas e ventos fortes aumentam a probabilidade de incêndios florestais.

 TRADUÇÃO-TEXTO 2: 
Diversity, Inclusion and Gender Equity in the Forest Management and Fire Prevention Program in Brazil
Diversidade, Inclusão e Equidade de Gênero no Programa de Manejo Florestal e Prevenção de Incêndios no Brasil
[1º PARÁGRAFO]
Women make up more than half of Brazil’s population and account for 47 million (~50%) of the labor market.
As mulheres representam mais da metade da população do Brasil e representam 47 milhões (~50%) do mercado de trabalho.
Despite these numbers, women are still underrepresented in many sectors: they occupy 37% of leadership positions in private companies; only 15% and 13%, respectively, are federal Representatives and Senators; and only 12% of cities have women as mayors.
Apesar destes números, as mulheres ainda estão sub-representadas em muitos setores: ocupam 37% dos cargos de liderança nas empresas privadas; apenas 15% e 13%, respectivamente, são deputados federais e senadores; e apenas 12% das cidades têm mulheres como prefeitas.
The fewer women there are in leadership positions and in politics, the lower the representation and scope of their interests and needs.
Quanto menos mulheres houver em posições de liderança e na política, menor será a representação e o alcance dos seus interesses e necessidades.
[2º PARÁGRAFO]
Coupled with that, men’s wages are, on average, 24% higher than women’s who hold the same position. Furthermore, Brazilian women dedicate, on average, 10.4 hours/week more than men to household chores and caring for family members (for example, children and the elderly), a type of work characterized as “domestic” and unpaid. As a result, women dedicate less time to professional improvement relative to men. The fewer women in mixed gender work teams, the less likely women are to excel in their roles and positions.
Aliado a isso, os salários dos homens são, em média, 24% superiores aos das mulheres que ocupam o mesmo cargo. Além disso, as mulheres brasileiras dedicam, em média, 10,4 horas/semana a mais que os homens às tarefas domésticas e ao cuidado de familiares (por exemplo, crianças e idosos), tipo de trabalho caracterizado como “doméstico” e não remunerado. Como resultado, as mulheres dedicam menos tempo ao aperfeiçoamento profissional em relação aos homens. Quanto menos mulheres em equipas de trabalho mistas, menor será a probabilidade de as mulheres se destacarem nas suas funções e posições.
[3º PARÁGRAFO]
In Integrated Fire Management (IFM), women face similar challenges, whether in coordination roles or technical and operational ones. In Brazil, specifically, Solis and colleagues1 identified that there are no regulations or guidelines that promote multiculturalism and gender equity in the processes of hiring forest fire brigades. Although gender equity in IFM is recognized, in Brazil this debate is still informal and poorly documented.
Na Gestão Integrada do Fogo (MIF), as mulheres enfrentam desafios semelhantes, seja em funções de coordenação ou em funções técnicas e operacionais. No Brasil, especificamente, Solis e colegas identificaram que não existem regulamentos ou diretrizes que promovam o multiculturalismo e a equidade de gênero nos processos de contratação de brigadas de incêndio florestal. Embora a equidade de gênero no MFI seja reconhecida, no Brasil esse debate ainda é informal e pouco documentado.

South Africa Prepares for Mandela’s Funeral

South Africans are expected to assemble in churches, mosques and halls on Sunday for a national day of prayer and reflection honoring Nelson Mandela. The former president and anti-apartheid icon died on Thursday, following a lengthy illness. He was 95. Organizers say they expect about 9,000 people to attend a public state funeral on December 15, in Mandela’s ancestral village of Qunu.

The official memorial service will be held on December 10 at Johannesburg's Soccer City stadium — site of the 2010 World Cup final. From December 11-13, Mandela's remains will lie in state at the Union Building in Pretoria and official memorial services will also be held in all provinces and regions.
3
Scores of world leaders and celebrities are expected for the funeral and memorial services of South Africa's first black president, including U.S. president Barack Obama. Former U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush are also expected to attend. Mandela spent 27 years in prison for his role in fighting to end white minority rule and official discrimination against blacks in South Africa.

After his release, he became a symbol of peace and reconciliation and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. The following year, he became South Africa's first black president.

Optimism gains upper hand in Brazil as draw for World Cup 2014 is made
1
Brazil, host of next year's football World Cup, has been plagued by stadium delays, mass protests and cost over-runs in the runup to Friday's draw.
2
But that is all changing now the real business of football is in sight, and confidence is Brazil's new order of the day.
3
Brazil were drawn in a group they should have little difficulty in qualifying from and national team coach Luiz Felipe Scolari expressed quiet satisfaction that his team's first opponents will be Croatia.
4
The host nation have won the world cup a record five times – in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002.
5
They will also play Cameroon, who failed to qualify for the last Africa Cup of Nations, and Mexico, who have slumped somewhat since their largely youth team beat Brazil in the football final at the London Olympics last year.
6
The opening match of the tournament will take place on 12 June, presuming the Itaquera stadium in São Paulo – site of a recent crane collapse – is finished by then.
7
Despite the confidence of the organisers, a sentiment widely shared in Brazil, is that the billions spent on new stadiums could have been better used to improve dire public services.
8
This was a major reason for the mass protests earlier this year, which overshadowed the Confederations Cup. A repeat of those demonstrations is a major concern for Fifa, world football's governing body.
9
Fifa president Sepp Blatter made a thinly veiled appeal for Brazilians to put the protests behind them. "I appeal to the population of Brazil, the 200 million people, through this World Cup please come together," he said.
