Proposal For a Method For Feasibility Analysis And Implementation Of SDG In Brazilian Municipalities

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to propose a method, analyzing the feasibility and implementation of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) in Brazilian municipalities, examining the reality of each one. The central question is: what is being done to put the 2030 Agenda into practice in Brazilian municipalities?
 Methodology/approach: DSR (Design Science Research) was used as a methodological basis, as it allows the creation of artifacts, which, during their development, can build theories that describe, explain and predict how reality is defined, in general. In this case, the objective of the method is to analyze local characteristics, verifying the practical implementation of the SDGs in Brazilian municipalities.
 Originality/Relevance: this research resulted in Bah! Method, also developing Bah Seal! which plays an effective indicator role, with the aim of improving the present situation and future performance, creating a pioneering certification method/system.
 Key findings: It is concluded that there is a lack of implementation of the SDGs in Brazilian municipalities, thus creating the method called BAH, an acronym that means Environmental and Humanized Benefit (in Portuguese), once the implementation of the SDGs generates benefits for the environment and for people, aligning and proposing public policies to municipalities.
 Theoretical/methodological contributions: This study intended to contribute academically to the development of DSR in management, demonstrating its importance in helping to solve problems through artifacts, as in the managerial area and other applied social sciences encouraging the development of strategies to collaborate in the Agenda 2030 process.

Challenges to achieving zero hunger by 2030: the impact of armed conflict on global food security with a focus on the Russo-Ukrainian War

“…This is an increase of almost 200 million people compared to pre-pandemic levels. Then according to Ben Hassen & El Bilali, (2022); the war may jeopardize the implementation (Ribeiro, Espuny & Hermes ,2023) of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably SDG 1 (No poverty), SDG 2 (Zero hunger), and SDG 12 (Responsible consumption and production). Lin et al, (2023) using the general equilibrium trade model on analysis of the potential impacts of the conflict on the global wheat market found that the conflict would lead to a 60% trade drop, 50% soaring wheat prices, and severe food insecurity with above 30% decreased purchasing power for wheat in the most severe scenario, especially for countries that heavily rely wheat imports from Ukraine, such as Egypt, Turkey, Mongolia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.…”
