Abstract

The difficulty in internalizing public policies in the national territory demonstrates that it is essential to have an environmentally adequate local management performance in order to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. The Green Municipality Seal Program is an environmental certification from Ceará, started in 2003, with the purpose of strengthening municipal environmental agenda. This work aimed to analyze the relationship between the Program environmental indicators and Sustainable Development Goals. This documental research, with a qualitative approach, used content analysis method by Bardin, with secondary data collection, analyzing five axes of the Program regarding the Municipal Environmental Policy; Environmental Sanitation and Public Health; Water resources; Sustainable Agriculture; Biodiversity and Climate Change. The results indicate that Green Municipality Seal Program adheres to Goals 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 ofAgenda 2030. The analyzed axes of the Green Municipality Seal Program demonstrated that they are related to the different targets of the Sustainable Development Goals in achieving the 2030 Agenda, which may mean that Ceará's environmental certification is an adequate and catalyzing tool in local management to achieve Sustainable Development.
