Support for the National Agenda for Sustainable Urban Development – ??ANDUS
The ANDUS project emerged as a way to support the Brazilian government in improving sustainable urban development policies in Brazil. The Paris Agreement on climate change, the 2030 Agenda and the New Urban Agenda are the beacons that guide this improvement of the urban agenda.
To achieve greater equity and address transformation processes, it is necessary to reorient urban development practices. This includes addressing challenges by harnessing the potential offered by territorial diversity and taking into account the three pillars of sustainability - social, environmental and economic.
Aim
Actors at the federal, state and municipal levels in Brazil implement coordinated strategies for sustainable urban development, including climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies.
Approach
The project aims to support the government and other institutions in implementing sustainable urban planning and management strategies with a focus on climate change mitigation and adaptation. The project works in partnership with the Brazilian Ministry of Cities and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change to improve the integration of climate actions in cities and enhance the technical capabilities of responsible management teams.
The project applies a methodological approach of mentoring and peer learning with municipalities throughout Brazil, specifically on the topics of Sustainable Management of Urban Solid Waste, Municipal Territorial Planning for Amazonian Cities and Black Female Leadership for Urban Climate Resilience.
At the national level, the ANDUS project also works on strategies, instruments and policies with the potential to promote new approaches to urban development, with a focus on climate change mitigation and sustainability. |
