Sustainability in Focus in Campos Gerais

The first day of the Regional Sustainable Development Conference will be marked by lectures and workshops.

The focus will be on important topics for municipalities and their technical teams, such as environmental licensing, inspection, land regularization, and even the functioning of the Ecological ICMS.

Mayors, Secretaries of the Environment, technicians from various areas, and interested citizens participated in the discussions. The main idea was to provide clear and accessible information for those dealing with environmental management on a daily basis.

By bringing together different sectors, the conference creates a space for knowledge exchange that helps align practices and solutions, providing an integrated perspective on regional challenges.

The Role of Entrepreneurship and Clean Energy

The second day of the Regional Sustainable Development Conference will focus on entrepreneurs, from small traders to larger industries.

At this moment, the discussions will center on issues such as licensing for different activities, updates in environmental legislation, and legal requirements related to conditions.

Economic impact sectors such as clean energy and mining will also be on the agenda, highlighting the importance of business adaptation to new environmental demands.

To provide direct support to participants, the IAT will maintain a technical support desk during the conference, offering personalized assistance to address questions about environmental procedures and authorizations.

This way, the event brings entrepreneurs closer to the necessary practices to align economic growth with respect for nature.

Environmental Education and Community Connection

On the last day, the programming of the Regional Sustainable Development Conference will take place at the Lago de Olarias, in Ponta Grossa, with outdoor activities.

Workshops and discussion panels will gather residents, institutions, and specialists to discuss a regional action plan focused on environmental preservation.

The aim is to bring society even closer to sustainable practices, demonstrating how small collective actions can have a significant impact.

In this same space, there will be distribution of native seedlings and symbolic planting, in partnership with the Municipal Secretary of the Environment.

This action aims to strengthen the culture of environmental care in the region and leave a practical legacy beyond discussion.

Alliance for Sustainable Agribusiness and Responsible Mining

The main objective of the Regional Sustainable Development Conference is to build a regional alliance that facilitates communication between municipalities, entrepreneurs, and society.

According to the Water and Land Institute, the main difficulties encountered in issues such as licensing and environmental authorizations have been mapped.

Based on this, the event seeks to provide clear and practical guidance so that economic activities such as sustainable agribusiness, responsible mining, and the oil industry can progress in an organized manner in accordance with legal requirements.

The goal is to prevent environmental procedures from being seen as obstacles and instead to understand them as part of a balanced development process.

Thus, the conference combines technical debate with collective commitment, encouraging all sectors to adopt practices that maintain economic growth in harmony with the preservation of natural resources.

Registration for the event is free and can be done at this link only until Wednesday (1).
