Fifteen case studies of new science-based firms (NSBFs) were collected. Adopting the Critical Incident Technique (CIT) was possible to capture the causal effect relationships between firms and the other elements of the entrepreneurial ecosystem (EE) and consistent constructs were built for theoretical formulation. The study provides evidences to the EE approach showing that institutions coordinated and focused on the main capabilities and excellence of the area make an extraordinary contribution to firm birth especially during the initial part of science firms’ development where networks, investors and human resources are at the center of firm’s agendas. After this initial period the influence of the entrepreneurial ecosystem loses is strength opening the boundaries to a much broader plethora which comprehends foundations, incumbent firms, clients and institutions at international level. The private sector and especially the family Merieux plays a fundamental role in this process even if not directly involved, indirectly through controlled firms or international presence. Despite every area is unique and the study focuses on science-based firm growth created in the area of Lyon, the results show that the EE can be a consistent theoretical construct and further studies should take place to advance this promising approach.

Nesta sua primeira edicao, o Premio recebeu 76 experiencias de 17 estados do Brasil. Deste total, 21 foram selecionadas preliminarmente tendo cinco premiados e quatro mencoes honrosas. PremiadosAs cinco primeiras experiencias em ordem alfabetica sao: (1) Assare/CE: “Mae valoriza a Vida: Estrategia de reducao da mortalidade infantil a partir da acao intersetorial da Prefeitura, Secretaria de Acao Social e Secretaria da Saude de Assare de 2009-2010”; (2) Belo Horizonte/MG: “A construcao da equidade em saude junto a populacao das areas de risco elevada e muito elevada: a experiencia do Programa BH Cidadania (2002-2011)”; (3) Porto Feliz/SP: “O Programa de reforco e qualificacao alimentar- PROQUALI- como ferramenta de enfrentamento dos determinantes sociais do municipio de Porto Feliz/SP”; (4) Porto Alegre/RS: “O Mapa de Porto Alegre e a tuberculose: distribuicao espacial, determinantes sociais”; (5) Rio de Janeiro/RJ: “Rede de Adolescentes Promotores da Saude – RAP da Saude”. ReflexoesHa que se ressaltar que o impacto de uma politica publica na reducao das iniquidades clama por um periodo de tempo necessario e suficiente para alterar padroes de distribuicao de recursos ja em voga, em alguns casos, por muito tempo. Neste sentido, as nove experiencias selecionadas sao jovens, em media 3 anos de vida, por conseguinte nao puderam evidenciar de maneira inequivoca reducao de iniquidades como impacto de sua execucao. Mais ainda, muitas delas focalizaram sua acao entre os mais pobres e nao estabeleceram linhas de base de comparacao com grupos mais favoraveis de suas populacoes. Entretanto, e ai esta, o estimulante elemento de que as experiencias trilham um bom caminho na promocao da equidade. Todas apresentaram um conjunto de dispositivos (recortes territoriais, criativas arquiteturas de governanca, protagonismo ativo de grupos vulneraveis, metricas originais, etc.) que indicam que foram pensadas com o intuito de identificar diferenciais de vulnerabilidade e exposicao entre grupos/territorios em uma gama importante de âmbitos/atributos. Disseminar criticamente estes dispositivos, diversificando-os, criando novos e aprofundando suas aplicacoes e o valor agregado desta primeira iniciativa do Premio Pre-Equidade.

Its core pillars include developing healthy public policies and strengthening social participation and intersectoral collaboration, with a strong emphasis on good governance and sustainability in order to promote structural and systematic changes for the social production of health. Recently, the importance of investing in Healthy Municipalities, Cities and Communities has been emphasized as key for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SGD). Healthy Cities was also highlighted as a central theme in the 9th Global Conference on Health Promotion, organized by the World Health Organization (WHO 2017). Local level action, spearheaded under the HMC framework, that seek to promote health equity and integral public policies have the potential to link national and international agendas, such as the SDG, based on the real needs of the territory and its population. Brazilian municipalities have developed rich experiences with the implementation of Agenda 21 and the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) over the past few decades. These experiences can form the basis to reflect upon how to advance the SDG agenda by incorporating it into local agendas through a Healthy and Sustainable Municipalities, Cities and Communities Strategy. Networks of HMC, that are present throughout the American continent, can play a key role in this process for its capillarity and potential to mobilize actors at various levels of action. They can also be strategic to promote capacity building and education process to strengthen communities’ ability to promote sustainable actions. This chapter will include a revision of the lessons learned from the experience of Brazilian municipalities with the implementation of Agenda 21 and the MDG as well as a reflection on the role of networks to promote the SDG agenda. It will finalize with recommendations on how to advance the SDG agenda in local agendas as part of the HMC strategy.

However, in Brazil, the challenge is to integrate the various regulations, public policies, new opportunities, and incentive mechanisms for forest protection and restoration. This paper discusses specific forms of action in Brazilian systems of Law, Economics and Politics that can influence environmental issues. It systemically presents economic instruments and analyzes the adoption of programs of Payment for Environmental Services to encourage voluntary practices of environmental protection. We suggest a mandatory strengthening of local power to increase the effectiveness of environmental legislation. The local sphere relates more closely with the more tangible reality and, therefore, is the closest instance of political decision-making that most directly affects people’s lives. It is also where the exercise of citizenship is more fruitful and where popular participation is more intense. We assume that sustainable development is unachievable without governance because it promotes common goals through collective action and requires structural changes in the dominant institutions.

However, the unsustainable use of non renewable resources, the destruction of biological diversity, and greenhouse gas emissions accelerated the environmental crisis and highlighted social inequalities. The accountability over this civilizational crisis is diffuse, but environmental education in Brazil is mostly focused on those who cause the least environmental damage. This chapter analyses the interactions between the determinants of the current environmental crisis and the contribution of education to sustainable development, critically considering the sustainability of the current means of production and consumption and as a strategy for the promotion of autonomy and equity in the Brazilian reality. A qualitative methodology was used to understand a movement in environmental education based on the critical analysis of the sustainability of the means of production and consumption. For such, documents, laws, and texts were analyzed to approach three important aspects, not intending to exhaust the issue. The first aspect is the original, foundational, and practical constitution of environmental education. The second is about understanding the challenges of institutionalizing environmental education in the Brazilian context. The third has to do with the paths of political action to be carried out to attain the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Due to population concentration, cities are locations where the occurrence of disasters often causes the most damage, it is important to include climate change mitigation in planning and management of sustainable urban environments, especially since forecasts point to a growing urbanization of undeveloped world’s population. It will be presented a framework for creation of alternatives to climate change mitigation based on Value-Focused Thinking (VFT) methodology, which makes the decision-making process more consistent and effective since it generates alternatives to deal with the need to mitigate climate change in order to cope with environmental disasters, thereby contributing to urban planning policy. By developing a framework to assist in decision-making, and basing it on seeking to ensure that available resources are coherently implemented, this study contributes to improving sustainable urban development. Inorder to illustrate how toanalyze this typeof problem, a proposed framework was applied in the city of Recife, the capital of the Brazilian state of Pernambuco.

The current context of climate change and water crisis in Brazil (particularly in the Southeast) amplifies the vulnerability of traditional and coastal communities. Therefore, the development of participatory alternatives to promote equity is fundamental to address territorial needs, thus generating solutions that consider the local context and traditional knowledge and increasing the resilience of affected communities. Based on the fact that sanitation was considered a priority for Praia do Sono—and through an approach that not only combines permaculture, education and sanitary engineering, but also establishes a dialogue between academia, local community and public managers—the Observatory of Sustainable and Healthy Territories, a partnership between the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (FIOCRUZ), the National Health Foundation (FUNASA) and the Forum of Traditional Communities (FCT) has developed comprehensive social technologies. Raisin awareness in the community aims at the fully incorporating of the proposed solution in a future step. This chapter systemizes the process (from the prioritization to the establishment/implementation of the technological solutions adopted) and analyzes its potential for producing autonomy, equity and sustainability, providing social technologies with the potential to empower communities to provide solutions to mitigate environmental impacts and increase the resilience to climate change.

The study regards a protected area, the so-called Mosaico Bocaina, in the municipalities of Angra dos Reis and Paraty, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, and Ubatuba, in the state of São Paulo, where traditional communities from three different ethnic groups live (indigenous, quilombolas and caiçara). The knowledge of nature and of the physics of climate change (including its causes, consequences and characteristics) isn't always accompanied by the understanding and science of how climate change affects the well-being and health of populations. The analysis of the public policies and science production for the field concluded that the situation for the region in question is no different from that of other regions in Latin America: i) public policies have not become effective interventions against climate change in general, and the interest in its implications over the health of populations is recent; ii) the science of climate change is insufficient, especially regarding its effects over the health of populations, whether in this specific region or more encompassing scales; iii) there is no information on how traditional communities perceive climate change, their impacts on health and well-being and tackling strategies. This paper seeks to contribute to the knowledge of the impacts of climate change on the health and well-being of traditional communities, focusing on the governance tools required to address it. What strategies have traditional communities been using to deal with it? How does the official agenda of efforts reflect the socio-cultural perceptions and mitigation and survival strategies of traditional communities? Qualitative methods of participant
