Cooperativismo, economia solidária e objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável: breve análise histórica e relação da economia solidária com os objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável da ONU

Abstract

This work aims to present the origins of cooperativism, from the consumer and production cooperatives that emerged in the 19th century in England to the expansion in Brazil today, and to show its relationship with the Solidarity Economy and the UN SDGs. Cooperativism is based on values such as equality, solidarity, democracy, cooperation, free enterprise and is a form of economic organization whose collective interests are put first. Next, an analysis was made of the solidarity economy, a recent movement, which emerged from the criticism of the dominant economic model and the search for fairer, more sustainable and democratic alternatives. The solidarity economy has as its principles cooperation, self-management and solidarity. In addition, the paper addresses the relationship between the solidarity economy and the SDGs and whether this movement has the potential to contribute to the implementation of the SDGs, either directly or indirectly
