The main collaboration between the sectors is sending case studies of impact investments for sustainable development
What impacts on sustainable development are being caused by Brazilian initiatives? To map national initiatives, the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), through its office in Brazil, invites researchers, private sector professionals, businesspeople, civil society representatives, public policy makers and public servants to send case studies on impact investments for sustainable development in Brazil, which will be part of the “Big Push for Sustainability in Brazil” project.
In simple terms, the “Big Push for Sustainability” represents an approach to analyze the articulation and coordination of policies that leverage investments to produce a virtuous cycle of economic growth, generating employment and income, reducing inequalities and structural gaps and promoting of environmental, social and economic sustainability.
Case studies must be sent by 08/11/2019 to the email address CEPAL.Brasilia@cepal.org with the following title “Big Push case study for Sustainability – [case study title]”. Case studies are requested to be presented in a summarized form, between 4,000 and 6,000 words, for consideration for publication. Call rules must be observed.
Environmental Big Push in Brazil
CEPAL, which in March this year published the research The Environmental Big Push in Brazil: coordinated investments for a sustainable development style, now you want to know the cases of impact investments for sustainable development in Brazil. From them, the aim is to make the opportunities and challenges for a major boost to sustainability in the country clearer. The economic commission also developed the basic conceptual and analytical contours of the “Big Push for Sustainability”.
Case studies of the “Big Push for Sustainability” will be understood as experiences and examples of actions, measures, plans, strategies, programs, policies, etc. that help to boost a set of investments aimed at providing greater socioeconomic and environmental sustainability to the prevailing style of development locally, regionally or nationally. To be eligible, case studies must be able to report at least one indicator from each dimension of sustainable development (economic, social and environmental), detailed in the rules of this call.
All studies that are considered eligible as cases will be part of an information repository. Those case studies considered most transformative will be recognized and will form a publication, to be presented at a parallel event to COP25, in Santiago, Chile, in December this year. This selection of the most impactful case studies aims to provide visibility and opportunities for showcase to experiences and initiatives that generated concrete results towards sustainable development.
