However, in Brazil, agronomic studies on its cultivation are incipient. This study aimed to perform a climate risk analysis for the cultivation of Cannabis spp. in the state of Santa Catarina (SC), Brazil. From the bibliographic review and the systematization of meteorological data of the state, the critical parameters of photoperiod (14 h), thermal sum (&lt 2500 GDD), and probability of occurrence of minimum temperatures (&lt -6 ??C) were considered. The culture of Cannabis spp. may be cultivated in all regions of SC, provided that the technical guidelines according to the inherent risks in each region are observed. Within the ten-day period from 33 to 8 (November 21 to March 20), the photoperiod and absolute minimum air temperature criteria were not restrictive in any region of the state. For the critical parameter of the thermal sum, in regions where the risk is high because the thermal sum is less than 2500 GDD, the limitation may be overcome with the possibility of anticipating the establishment of the culture. This research provides useful information for researchers, lawmakers, and those interested in cultivating Cannabis spp. in Brazil.  aAgricultural Zoning  aAgrometeorology  aMinimum temperatures  aPhotoperiod  aThermal sum1 aPANDOLFO, C.1 aBOSCO, L.
