Abstract(s)
A preocupação com a sobrevivência do planeta e do meio ambiente estiveram no cerne
deste estudo, chegando-se à conclusão que abordar o Consumo e Produção
Sustentáveis (CPS) seria de crucial importância. O CPS surgiu como uma alternativa
aos padrões de consumo e produção insustentáveis da sociedade e, ao longo dos anos,
foi reconhecido como um dos principais requisitos para o desenvolvimento sustentável.
Em 2015 teve o seu reconhecimento oficial com a consagração da Agenda 2030,
passando a constituir o seu 12º o Objetivo de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS).
A Agenda 2030 refere que as Organizações Sem Fins Lucrativos (OSFL) têm um papel
importante nos seus ODS, principalmente no que respeita à promoção do CPS.
Contudo, não especifica que papéis estas organizações deveriam ou poderiam
desempenhar. Portanto, o principal objetivo desta investigação passa por identificar e
descrever que papéis as Organizações Sem Fins Lucrativos desempenham na promoção
do Consumo e Produção Sustentáveis num contexto específico.
No sentido de alcançar os objetivos delineados, utilizou-se o método de estudo de caso,
junto da Coolabora, uma OSFL do concelho da Covilhã preocupada em promover o CPS
na região.
Os principais resultados obtidos indicaram que a Coolabora desempenha três papéis na
promoção do CPS: o papel de comunicar e sensibilizar, porque sempre procurou
sensibilizar para práticas de consumo e produção mais sustentáveis, através de diversas
campanhas e ações; o papel de implementar projetos, uma vez que contribuiu
diretamente para a promoção do CPS, por meio do Projeto EcoVida, em parceria com
vários stakeholders; e o papel de representar e dar voz, visto que sempre teve a
preocupação de representar e dar voz aos produtores locais, que poderiam estar a
passar dificuldades devido à pandemia, e aos que participavam nas atividades
relacionadas com o CPS, permitindo que se expressassem, expusessem as suas
preocupações tornando-as públicas.
The concern with the survival of the planet and the environment was the main focus of this study, concluding that addressing Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) would be very important. SCP emerged as an alternative to society’s unsustainable consumption and production standards. And, over the years, was recognized as one of the main requirements for sustainable development. In 2015 had its official recognition in the 2030 Agenda, becoming the 12th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). Agenda 2030 refers that Non-profit Organizations have an important role in SDGs maintenance, mainly in promoting the SCP. However, it does not specify what roles these organizations should or could have in this process. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify and describe what roles are played by Non-profit Organizations in promoting SCP in a specific context. To achieve the outlined goals, we used the case study method with the “Coolabora”, a NPO from Covilhã concerned with promoting SCP in the region. The main results indicate that “Coolabora” plays three roles in promoting the SCP: the role of communicating and sensitize, because always try to raise awareness for more sustainable consumption and production practices, through several campaigns and actions; the role of implementing projects, as the organisation directly contributes to the promotion of SCP, with the Project “EcoVida”, in partnership with many stakeholders; and the role of representing and giving voice, since it was always concerned with representing and giving a voice to local producers, who might be experiencing difficulties due to the pandemic, and to those who participated in activities related to the SCP, allowing them to express and expose their concerns by making them public.
