A agenda 2030 e os objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável: desafios para o Plano de Desenvolvimento Institucional da Universidade Federal do Ceará

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the Institutional Development Plans (PDI) prepared within the scope of the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), from the perspective of their potential and limitations in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), elaborated in the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations (UN). As a qualitative and interpretive investigation, the research was structured in two stages: a) bibliographic analysis of concepts and themes related to Sustainable Development, Planning and Higher Education; b) survey and document analysis of the PDI prepared by UFC. As a result of the research, it was found that the UFC's PDI were consolidated as outstanding instruments for the establishment of goals and objectives in the institution. It was also noted that these plans began to gain an important role in achieving a more sustainable university, after the establishment of the 2030 Agenda and the insertion of the SDGs in the institution's planning agenda. In response to the research objective, it is concluded that the institution's PDI began to achieve the dynamics of regional demands, in terms of combating poverty, protecting the environment, reducing inequalities and providing quality education with the presence of the objectives of the 2030 Agenda as a reference document. However, there is still a need for greater citizen participation, so that this can be reflected in a planning that increasingly dialogues with the reality where the university is inserted.
