Technical Mission in Campinas, in December, marks the completion of the RenovaBR Sustainability Journey Working Group.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2025 Sustainability Journey, developed for the community of leaders trained by RenovaBR, continues to connect theory and practice, expanding the network's development and seeking real solutions to the country's environmental challenges. In this journey, the Sustainability Working Group (WG) brought together 39 RenovaBR Alumni from different states across Brazil to collectively work on strengthening sustainable public policies, guided by the Basic Sanitation Legal Framework. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a collaborative space for study, experience sharing, and proposal formulation around four fundamental areas of basic sanitation\u2014water supply; sewage; urban drainage; and solid waste management\u2014the WG conducted diagnostic and analytical stages over five online meetings between July and October, applying methodologies such as reverse pitching and problem tree analysis to deepen understanding of real public policies and propose impactful alternatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diversity that strengthens the network<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The diversity of the Alumni network was one of the group's distinguishing features: a total of 39 members participated in the meetings, representing all regions of Brazil, with S\u00e3o Paulo and Rio de Janeiro accounting for the largest number of participants. This regional diversity was essential for broadening understanding of the different contexts and local challenges related to sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Field research and diagnosis in real territories<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the GT's most powerful moments was conducting in-person field research, in which Alumni went to specific territories to closely investigate selected public issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The surveys revealed diverse realities, such as in Abson Batista (SC), a quilombola community facing a lack of public water supply and the risk of contamination from improvised sources. There are also cases, such as in Natal (RN), where students highlighted the impacts of declining sewage coverage, directly affecting tourism and health in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to these stories, the WG also studied cases in Bel\u00e9m, Par\u00e1, where residents of a certain region have lived with flooding and a lack of urban drainage for more than 20 years. In Lagoa de Itaenga, Pernambuco, the problem of irregular solid waste disposal remains a persistent environmental and public health challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These observations emerged from the field research that each Alumni carried out in their respective region, enhancing the concreteness of the analysis of the axes and reinforcing the importance of different perspectives for designing possible solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests and experts expand the debate<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the meetings, the WG was attended by experts and public leaders who contributed to the technical and practical deepening of the topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Leonardo Secchi, a national reference in public policy, led the introduction to the analysis methodology applied to sanitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Eduardo Galv\u00e3o presented the Problem Tree tool, which helped participants map the causes and consequences of real challenges in the analyzed territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September, Instituto Trata Brasil CEO Luana Pretto shared best practices and data on the country's sanitation landscape, highlighting bottlenecks and progress in implementing the new legal framework (Law No. 14,026\/2020). RenovaBR's sustainability ambassador, Andr\u00e9 Fraga, was also present, sharing his experience in public administration and reinforcing the role of local leaders in formulating effective policies, as was Ambassador Adriana Bocaiuva. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One more step on the Sustainability Journey<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the WG's work concluded, participants are now preparing for the next stage of the Journey: the Technical Mission, which will take place in December in Campinas, S\u00e3o Paulo. The meeting promises to further connect theory and practice, bringing together Alumni from across the country for a moment of learning, exchange, and proposing solutions for a more sustainable future.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
