ANÁLISE DA CONTRIBUIÇÃO DOS PROGRAMAS DE PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO EM CIÊNCIAS AMBIENTAIS DO CENTRO-OESTE BRASILEIRO: UMA ABORDAGEM EM RELAÇÃO AOS OBJETIVOS DE DESENVOLVIMENTO SUSTENTÁVEL

Abstract

The dissertation proposes an investigation into the relationship between graduate programs in Environmental Sciences and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the Brazilian Central-Western region. In a global context marked by urgent environmental challenges, academic research plays a crucial role in the pursuit of sustainable solutions. Interdisciplinary in Environmental Sciences is essential in addressing contemporary challenges, and the proposed analysis aims to contribute to the understanding and sustainable management of natural resources in the Central-Western region of Brazil. The research seeks to identify the areas of emphasis for each graduate program in relation to the SDGs, map research priorities concerning natural resources, and provide insights on how higher education institutions can direct their academic efforts to optimize the utilization and conservation of natural resources in the region. Expected outcomes include the classification of higher education institutions based on their focus on different SDGs, the development of a textual corpus and content analysis using Iramuteq software, and the identification of areas of emphasis and needs to promote sustainable development in the region. It is anticipated that the results obtained will contribute to the advancement of knowledge and the enhancement of strategies for the management and conservation of natural resources in the context of the Brazilian Central-Western region.
