About ICES

International Congress Environment & Sustainability

The ICES was mentored and organized by Maria Eulaidia de Araujo, Dr. in Geography and urban planning at INSA - National Institute of Applied Sciences in Lyon - University of Lyon in France. Scientific Researcher, with support from CAPES-Brasil, in the field of psychology, in the field of environmental planning and human behavior. She is an educator and Master in Psychology. She is currently a researcher and consultant and organizational facilitator, in participatory methodologies and socio-environmental behavior.

ICES became a strategic action of social feedback of his doctoral research. Motivated by her experiences, experiences and researcher since 2006, through the NGO - IETC - Institute of Entrepreneurial Training and Continuing Education, in the project RETE - Recyclable Transformation Enterprises/CE- Brazil, she states that inclusion is the basis for a construction collective with social and environmental justice. Thus was born the ICES, given the health crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, as an environment full of transformations and care for life and the common home, on our Planet Earth.

Even starting from an individual initiative, the ICES had its identity built collectively. Since the creation of the logo, it seeks to bring reflections on the balance of the planet and brings as an identity basis the four elements of nature (water, earth, fire and air).

The event seeks an experience and experience, with the rescue that it is on the spot, the basis for the search for solutions for social and environmental transformation, but with aspirations for global change, since we are all responsible for protecting life and the environment. It is an invitation to experience a process of « acting, collective », with moments of reflection, aiming to think of participatory action strategies.

In its first edition (I International Environment & Sustainability Congress) it took place from 07/31/2020 to 08/02/2021. And it was resubmitted from 02/25/2021 to 02/28/2021. The event had the voluntary participation of national and international researchers (Brazil, France, Spain and Colombia), as well as technicians, collectors of cooperatives, professionals from different areas, entrepreneurs, involving social actors who research and live the theme of this congress , and which could contribute to improvements and advances, in a perspective of collective learning. Exchanges of research and experiences were carried out through reports, lectures, short courses and musical shows, in order to raise awareness and lead to reflections in society, on the perspectives of acting in relation to urban solid waste and its collective and participatory management.

ICES 2021

PRESENTATION OF THE II ICES 2021

The motivation of the II ICES in 2021 was born from the desire to transform this event into itself, a result of a participatory action of its first edition. In its continuation, the ICES evolves in the reinforcement of its collective identity, becoming a process of many, passing through a new moment, which we are calling « WEAVING THE ICES 2021 ». Our meetings, which started since February 2021, weekly, every Friday. Throughout the process of organizing the II ICES, we are seeking to enhance our actions and our know-how.

The II ICES is a " place " for dialogue on the main global socio-environmental issues, and the challenges faced in the face of the global health crisis, seeking to present theoretical, conceptual, methodological and instrumental proposals for territorial development based on environmental sustainability. In this sense, in 2021, the II CIAS will have as its central theme: SANITATION OF CITIES AND SUSTAINABLE SYSTEMS: COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTH CRISES, guided by the dialogue of its thematic axes.

We chose to use the term sanitation for the management of solid waste and effluents. Often, it is health crises that highlight the dangers of poor sanitation, when they are not the cause. These crises sometimes trigger a critical look at the reality experienced, which opens up to changes, which we can call collective intelligence.

The II ICES meets strategic issues at the international level such as sanitation, waste management and collective intelligence in the context of the Covid 19 pandemic. objective of knowing and integrating local solutions in different regions of the planet, respecting the needs and specificities of each location.

The II ICES will be an opportunity to compare the experiences of improvement, adaptation to the current health crisis but also to other older crises, with regard to sanitation (wastewater and solid waste management) and the opportunities they can bring.

Environmental management aims to adjust human activities so that there is no degradation of the ecosystem, seeking to preserve it, through joint actions between society and government. To minimize environmental damage, concepts, practices and techniques have emerged that can provide a balanced relationship between society and the environment, seeking to preserve natural resources and protect life in all its dimensions.

From the scientific, cultural and artistic works, they are presented on the theme, in panel sessions, oral communication, workshops and cultural presentations. We believe that fostering this dialogue enables the construction of responses and results of research and community actions developed, contributing to the process of environmental education, and social-environmental behavior, whose principle is the sustainability of life and its integration between theory and practice , where scientific knowledge and popular knowledge are part of an integrated and inclusive system and the participation of all social actors involved in the socio-environmental cause.

Central theme

Sanitation of Cities and Sustainable Systems:
Collective Intelligence in Health Crises

The theme of the II CIAS will be guided by the dialogue of the following thematic axes:

Management and management of urban solid waste in times of health crisis:
Objective: to discuss the risks to health and protection of formal and informal workers (street cleaning, garbage collection, selective collection), treatment of new waste produced in series (masks, tests, vaccines: expired, packaging), etc.

Sustainable systems and new environmental dynamics and technologies:
Objective: Discuss how the implications of sustainability result in social processes and environmental changes called socio-environmental vulnerability and its challenges in times of pandemic. The urban socio-environmental vulnerability shows the heterogeneity of the impacts arising from the risks on the population (urban socioenvironmental risk and vulnerability) This excluding and segregating urban dynamic determines an increasingly vulnerable landscape, marked by the prevalence of the survival strategy that privileges practices of environmental deterioration and increased risk exposure in times of pandemic.

Sustainability, education and socio-environmental vulnerability: challenges of the pandemic
Objective: environmental problems and their relationship between nature and society generate problems and socio-environmental vulnerability, and this has worsened in times of pandemic. In this context, we must think of EE as a transversal and interdisciplinary theme, meaning the integration of knowledge that leads to thinking about sustainability from the meaningful and contextualized teaching/learning process.

Life at the center of urban management and collective intelligence:
Objective: to present the environmental consequences of urban and population growth There is a growing demand for housing, infrastructure, sanitation, health and education services, among other equipment, which has brought challenges to urban management. Therefore, the management and exploitation of resources and services in urban spaces and areas of the territory need to be discussed in an environmentally rational and balanced perspective. Collective intelligence can be the solution for social innovation of these problems, engaging the urban population to make decisions about the city and proposing new ways to connect society for the common good.

People-environment relationship and sustainability: the challenges of the pandemic:
Objective: to discuss how people think and relate to environments (natural and built), their social norms and how they shape human attitudes and actions that, in turn, alter nature. The person-environment relationship aims to improve the quality of life and environment of all living beings. It assumes that there is a mutual relationship between people and environments and that human actions can favor or prevent the conservation and preservation of the environment. By analyzing and understanding the behaviors and contexts where people are inserted, it is possible to propose strategies that aim at a sustainable way of thinking and acting.

Public policies, health and environment
Objective: to present the contributions of public policies in their implementation, evaluation and results of programs related to health and the environment, identifying the network of actors involved. Or, evaluate efficiency, effectiveness and/or effectiveness of health and environment policies, relating the proposed objectives of policies and programs with the results obtained.

Solid Waste Valuation: Circular Economy and Innovation
Objective: to discuss the contribution of energy recovery from urban solid waste to the improvement of environmental quality and to promote sustainable development and to present the valorization of solid waste as a centerpiece for innovation. solid waste, for the incorporation of technical changes in the economy and society and consequently for the competitiveness of this alternative source of energy, waste.
