Implementing a territorial approach to the SDGs in Paraná, Brazil
The state of Paraná in Brazil has turned to the United Nations Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) as a guiding framework for its territorial development policy since 2016.
Building on the recommendations from the OECD report on “A Territorial Approach to
the SDGs in Paraná, Brazil” (2021), the state has continued to leverage the SDGs as
a vehicle to address territorial disparities and challenges in a number of policy
domains, including agriculture, health, education, economic growth, environmental
conservation and public safety. This report assesses the state’s progress on the 2021
OECD recommendations and offers renewed guidance on how to harness the SDGs to tackle
the state’s main challenges, including designing a state-wide Sustainable Development
Plan and integrating the SDGs in its new 2053 Strategic Vision.
