Políticas públicas para la implementación de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible en Itabaiana, Sergipe

Abstract

The prevailing crisis scenario underscores the imperative for initiatives aimed at ameliorating environmental predicaments within society, thereby harmonizing endeavors undertaken by diverse social actors. The 2030 Agenda encompasses 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which intricately interlace economic growth, social development, and environmental preservation. This study endeavors to ascertain the public policies underpinning the realization of SDGs in Itabaiana, while discerning the focal domains of priority. Our investigation scrutinized proclamations delineated in the Official Gazette spanning from January 2016 to December 2020. Our findings unveiled 147 referenced initiatives, with 38.64% of these enmeshing more than three distinct SDGs. These outcomes distinctly underscore the interdisciplinary complexion intrinsic to the 2030 Agenda, thereby affording latitude for the participation of disparate realms within the public administrative echelon, all converging to bolster its aspirations. In conclusion, the 2030 Agenda serves as a diagnostic instrument, facilitating the assimilation and territorialization of SDGs at the municipal stratum.
