and necessary, providing outflow and concreteness to the social function of scientific
knowledge (Bourdieu 2004) to the benefit of society and the environment, from a nonhermetic and segmented perspective which can enable a greater exchange between
diverse fields of knowledge and the Brazilian public administration.
Similarly, by means of civic political action, collectively organized, civil society
must act to engage the Commission in active listening (Carvalho 2004), in the construction of knowledge, and in the definition of priorities, courses of action and its
corresponding implementation plans, that are socially responsive and in consonance
with the Brazilian constitutional ideology.
In this sense, it should be noted that the Federal Constitution of 1988 sets forth
fundamentals and principles that should stand as the foundation and guide of national
public policies, in addition to being in keeping with the Sustainable Development
Goals. We draw attention to the values contained in the Constitution: citizenship, the
dignity of the human person; the social value of work and free enterprise; political
pluralism; the creation of a free, fair and supportive society; national development,
eradication of poverty and marginalization, reduction of social and regional inequalities, promotion of the common good, without prejudice.
In examining the Commission’s governance model, six out of the sixteen members belong to the federal public administration, while eight are representatives of
civil society. The Commission includes one representative from the Secretariat of
Government of the Presidency of the Republic; one from the Office of the Chief
of Staff of the Presidency of the Republic; one representative from each of the following Ministries: Foreign Affairs; Social and Agricultural Development; Planning,
Development and Management; and Environment; one representative of the state and
district levels of government; one of the municipal level of government, and eight
representatives of civil society.
Representatives from civil society and from states and municipalities were
selected through public notices, with the collaboration of a panel of specialists in
sustainable development, for a two-year term.
Permanent technical advice from the Institute of Applied Economic Research
(IPEA) and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) is also contemplated.
The state and municipal representatives are collective entities, namely the Brazilian Association of State Entities for the Environment (Abema) and the National
Confederation of Municipalities (CNM). Representatives of civil society are divided
into four non-profit associations: Brazilian Institute for Quality and Productivity
(IBPQ), General Union of Workers (UGT), World Vision, and the Abrinq Foundation for the Rights of Children and Adolescents (Fundação Abrinq), two institutions
encompassing teaching, research and extension programs: the National Association
of Directors of Federal Institutions of Higher Education (Andifes) and the Brazilian
Academy of Sciences (ABC), and two representatives of the productive sector: the
National Confederation of Industry (CNI), Ethos Institute of Business and Social
Responsibility (Ethos).
Considering research conducted by IBOPE (CNODS 2018), 49% of respondents
never heard about the Sustainable Development Goals; 38% have heard about the
