Aliança Paraná Sustentável

Context

Aliança Nosso Paraná Sustentável – state-wide sustainability

Aliança Nosso Paraná Sustentável (Our Sustainable Paraná Alliance) is an ambitious and leading new model for a coordinated cross-sectoral statewide approach to sustainability.

The Alliance is being built from a solid base of collective assets. Leaders from the private sector, government and civil society in the Brasilian State of Paraná have committed to work on a regional and city-wide level to build a state which is sustainable across all domains – ecological, economic, political and cultural.

The establishment and development of the Alliance is being coordinated by a recently formed Regional Secretariat of the UN Global Compact Cities Programme. The Secretariat was formalised in May 2012.

Collaboration of Government, Private Sector and Civil Society

Aliança Nosso Paraná Sustentável will grow to include many groups from across the government, business and civil society sectors in Paranà. The number of individual Global Compact member cities are also growing with the Alliance.

Rio+20 Launch of Aliança Nosso Paraná Sustentável

Governador of Paranà, Carlos Alberto ‘Beto’ Richa presented Aliança Nosso Paraná Sustentável at the high level closing of the Rio+20 Corporate Sustainability Forum on June 18, 2012. He outlined a series of UN Commitments as the first stage of the Alliance’s actions to build sustainability across the State (see below).

See Governor Beto Richa Commitment Declaration at Rio+20 June 18 2012.
