THE PRODUCTION STATUS OF INDICATORS ON ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY IN BRAZIL Eduardo Pereira Nunes, President. eduardo.nunes@ibge.gov.br Luiz Paulo Souto Fortes, Director of Geosciencies. luiz.fortes@ibge.gov.br Presented by Wadih João Scandar Neto Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics – IBGE IAOS 2010 – Santiago, Chile October 2010
What are the SDI adopted by IBGE The MDG 7 indicators reported by Brazil Comparing both Conclusions Sustainable Development Indicators and MDG 7 Indicators
Sustainable Development Indicators First edition 2002, then 2004, 2008 and 2010 Follows the UN Sustainable Development Commission recommendations (2001) Four dimensions: Environmental, Social, Economical and Institutional
Sustainable Development Indicators In 2010 55 indicators were published: Environmental dimension: 6 themes, 20 indicators Social dimension: 6 themes, 19 indicators Economical dimension: 2 themes, 11 indicators Institutional dimension: 2 themes, 5 indicators http://www.ibge.gov.br/home/geociencias/recursosnaturais/ids/ids2010.pdf ( only in Portuguese)
MDG 7 Brazilian report 2010 10 indicators internationally recommended 26 indicators reported by Brazil Coordinated by Presidency of the Republic and Institute for Applied Economic Research (Ipea). IBGE role: to provide part of the data for the 8 MDG and to guarantee the rigorous use of the official statistics in the indicators production.
Conclusion Although similar, the two works have different roles. The MDG report has close links with government actions for achieving the internationally agreed targets The SDI seek to provide a long-term vision of the country's general situation in relation to its stage of sustainable development. There are still some information gaps in both the MDG report and SDI. The most notable refers to the availability and use of water. IBGE is implementing a project to elaborate the economic environmental accounts, starting by water accounting, aiming to bring together the various producers of water data, aiming to cover this information gap.
