Objetivos do desenvolvimento do milênio: uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre teses e dissertações no Brasil

Abstract

Since the 1970s, the theme of sustainability has intensified worldwide since the Stockholm Conference, but the concept of Sustainable Development has emerged through the Common Future Report produced by the World Commission on Environment and Development. The Rio-92 conference showed worldwide interest in the future of the planet and the interest of several countries in establishing sustainable development as a goal to be achieved by society and the governments of the world. The Millennium Summit took place in New York in the year 2000 and reflected the concerns of 191 heads of state where the Millennium Declaration emerged, the most important document of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In all, 8 Millennium Goals were created, segmented by 18 goals and 48 indicators, which were in force until 2015. In view of the relevance of these objectives and the efforts of the countries to achieve them, this work aimed at a systematic review of the Brazilian literature mapping the theses and dissertations published in the year 2006 onwards related to the theme of the Millennium Development Goals. The search of these works was done through the portal of theses and dissertations of Capes, where 132 works were found. After establishing exclusion criteria, the works were analyzed and selected. Thus, there were 63 publications, 52 dissertations and 11 theses. As an organization, they were divided into thematic areas, as linked to an MDG. In this way, it was possible to have 7 works in the area destined to poverty, hunger and food, 5 related to education, 3 aimed at equality and participation, 20 focused on health, 24 for sustainable development, 4 focused on the area of social action and solidarity 3 others that related to other areas. It was possible to conclude that most of these papers talk about the need for effective public policies, as shown by the achievement of the MDGs in some regions surveyed. The main contribution that these works give to complying with the ODSs is that they invest in public policies and use the instruments of participation and planning that already exist to be able to put into practice an effective action plan of sustainability for the planet and people by 2030.
