Situational diagnosis of the environmental management of the Municipalities of Pará and the challenges in achieving the objectives of sustainable development

Abstract

This study identifies the main limitations of the institutional and organizational structures of municipal environmental agencies. This descriptive study used secondary data from SEMAS (PA), which were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Analyzing the literature on environmental management in the state of Pará, no study has yet performed a situational diagnosis of the environmental management of Pará municipalities. There is a research opportunity for investigating whether or not Pará municipalities are implementing environmental management through environmental secretariats. Environmental management monitoring helps identify and correct problems. As a social impact, this study will assist in improving the quality of life of local communities through a sustainable environment. The environmental contribution of this study lies in the insights that can help implement environmental policies.
