Abstract
This paper aims to propose indicators to measure Brazilian transport systems' impact on meeting the 2030 Agenda and to analyze advances of Brazilian transport systems in terms of sustainable development over the last decade. The proposed indicators were based on a literature review and data availability. Time series data (2010-2019) were obtained to analyze the situation of Brazil. From 27 proposed indicators, only 12 showed some evolution based on the before-after method, relating to improvements in cleaner transport modes, such as railways and waterways, in exclusive lanes for public transport, and in improving active transport infrastructure. This scenario presents Brazil's challenges over the next ten years to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the 2030 Agenda. Results reinforce the importance of the transport sector to contribute to the world's sustainable development. Therefore, this paper contributes to improving the analysis hereafter of this thematic.
Highlights
In 2015, all United Nations Member States adopted the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda
Considering this scenario, we formulated the following research questions: What indicators measure Brazilian transport systems' contribution to sustainable development? What have been the advances of Brazilian transport systems over the last decade to meet the 2030 Agenda goals? this paper aims to propose indicators that could measure and analyze Brazilian transport systems' advances to meet the United Nations' 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) jsd.ccsenet.org Journal of Sustainable Development
This paper considers that ten SDGs and twenty targets are related to the transport sector
Summary
In 2015, all United Nations Member States adopted the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda It provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet (United Nation [UN, 2018). There were few papers focusing on analyzing advances in the world's transport systems to measure their contribution to sustainable development (Santos & Ribeiro, 2015; Mansourianfar & Haghshenas, 2018; Farzaneh et al, 2019). This lack of research makes it even more complicated for developing countries to meet the goals of the 2030 Agenda. The choice is justified because Brazil is a country of continental dimensions and seems to have many challenges in its transport systems to meet the goals of the 2030 Agenda
