Índice de desenvolvimento sustentável das cidades- Brasil: uma análise documental

Abstract

Environmental, social and preservation issues gained prominence after the publication of the Final Declaration of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio +20), entitled: The future we want. In this sense, the member members present at the Conference pledged to take actions to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Thus, the aim of this study is to understand how the Sustainable Development Index of Cities - Brazil is complete and how it can help municipalities to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. This research is qualitative, exploratory in nature and it is a document analysis on published websites, from institutions that portray the subject. The Sustainable Development Index classifies them as cities according to the indicators present within each objective. Each indicator presents a range of thresholds (maximum and minimum) and, depending on the limit in which the city is located, in each indicator, it will be its classification. This classification allows for better visualization of the indicators that need more attention. The city of Morungaba - SP is the one with the best ranking in the Index. In this sense, the Index is an important municipal management tool, in addition to helping the country to reach the 17 SDGs.
