Desafios e possibilidades para medir o alcance dos ODS: o caso do programa ecológico de longa duração

Abstract

The theme of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is an urgent and emerging call, as humanity has been causing impacts over the years on the environment in which we operate, and this has become a subject of great relevance and concern in global level. In Brazil, the 2030 Agenda came with the intention of outlining goals and strategies, therefore the general objective of this research was to explore the theme of environmental indicators for the SDGs, through the analysis of the contribution of the PELD Program. To this end, the indicators were mapped, seeking to identify those already established and that could be useful in measurement, therefore being the first part of the bibliographical research, in which we can mention three platforms: (1) ODS-BR; (2) ODS-PB and (3) IDSC-BR. From this, the indicators constructed for the environmental area were counted, especially those that have a more direct relationship with PELD projects, corresponding to SDG-13, SDG-14 and SDG-15. Subsequently, a questionnaire was sent to the coordinators of these projects, with the aim of investigating their vision, both regarding the measurements already carried out by them, regarding the indicators already established in Brazil, as well as suggestions for establishing new indicators for measurement. Obtaining as results, a quantity of 25 indicators found on the platforms, of which 17 were recognized by the coordinators as possible medication on PELD sites. They also suggested that this contribution can also be measured by: interaction with the community, dialogue with peers, joint production of a paper, institutional induction, or even the creation of indicators.
