Agenda sustentável e indicadores para Salvador (BA) entre os anos de 2013 a 2016

Abstract

In the history of mankind, unsustainable experiences have affected the constitution of cities, such as exponential population growth in urban poles, unbridled race for extraction of natural resources, overproduction of waste and urban waste, overconsumption of energy, and pollution at various scales; as a result, resource depletion, impaired community quality of life, and environmental and urban stress. At the present time, there is the challenge of urban sustainability, including the city of Salvador, which joined the Sustainable Cities Program (PCS) in 2013 and implemented the Sustainable City and Innovation Secretariat (SECIS). Thus, through the documentary analysis, it sought to characterize the actions of the SECIS Sustainability Agenda in the period comprised by the Management Report (2013-2016), in intersection with the guiding platform (PCS), in its axes, indicators and sustainable practices. It was observed that there is a strategic demand for better planning for transparency and information production that value the actions carried out by the SECIS, associating them with the axes and indicators (PCS) as management factors, projection and reference of replicability to the municipalities of Bahia. Also, some alternative metrics were proposed to the indicators to the actions without adherence, allowing a set of indicators adequate to the local demands and additives to the PCS.
