📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MMA) launched last Saturday (15/11), during COP30, in Belem (PA), the Guide to Good Practices in Urban Environmental Management in Municipalities of the Legal Amazon. The publication is considered a strategic and relevant instrument, given that 76% of the 27.8 million inhabitants of the Legal Amazon live in urban areas.
The guide goes beyond the technical by directly dialoging with the premise that the climate crisis requires urgency in tackling structural inequalities, combating poverty and promoting sustainable development. The climate fight is intrinsically linked to quality of life, health, housing, water, food and work.
The publication brings together 18 good practices selected from a selection process that received contributions from 58 municipalities in the nine states that make up the Legal Amazon.
The material invited municipal managers to present local practices for climate transformation in cities, promoting a better quality of life for their populations.
The national secretary of Urban Environment, Water Resources and Environmental Quality of the MMA, Adalberto Maluf, presented the guide at Espaco Amazonia Semper, based at the Goeldi Museum. The launch panel sought an integrated look at Amazonian cities as territories of innovation and transformation.
The Guide to Good Practices in Urban Environmental Management in Municipalities of the Legal Amazon is an initiative of , an interministerial action of the MMA, Ministry of Cities and Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI).
The publication was developed in partnership with the Center for Sustainable Development at the University of Brasilia (UnB) and the Coalition for Sustainable Urban Development of the Amazon.
