A territorial approach to the Sustainable Development Goals in Paraná, Brazil
The state of Paraná, one of Brazil’s most populated and developed states, has been
aligning its public policies with sustainable development since the 1990s. More recently,
Paraná has used the SDGs as a tool and framework to reduce longstanding challenges
related to health, education and safety as well as to address global megatrends affecting
the state such as climate change, demographic pressures and digitalisation. Despite
the absence of a state-wide sustainable development plan, Paraná is aligning its Multi-Year
Plan (PPA) for 2020-23 and other planning and budgeting tools with the SDGs to face
the socio-economic territorial disparities within the state. Through a multi-stakeholder
governance framework, guidelines and financial contributions, the state provides incentives
to align local and regional planning systems with the 2030 Agenda and to address sustainable
development challenges in an integrated way.
