The sustainable development goals in two sustainable development reserves in central amazon: achievements and challenges
Summary
Researchers evaluated progress toward the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals in two protected reserves in the Central Amazon, where traditional communities have lived for generations. Despite significant achievements over 20 years of research, the study found persistent challenges — particularly in connecting global goals to the realities of rural Amazonian life.
The 2030 Agenda was set in 2015 by the United Nations, with 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The Amazonian riverine people are recognized as traditional communities that have their own culture and use the local natural resources of their territories in an ancestral and traditional way. The Sustainable Development Reserve is a Brazilian protected area category which aims to ensure the protection of the natural environment while allowing the residence and the use of these lands by traditional populations. This article reports and discusses the achievements and challenges of the Sustainable Development Goals in two sustainable development reserves in Central Amazonia. The goals were evaluated in the Mamirauá and Amanã Sustainable Development Reserves, due to the large research programs developed in those areas along the past 20 years. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals have a clear connection with the mission of these sustainable development reserves in Central Amazon. Despite the many achievements conquered over the years, there are many challenges yet to overcome; and while striving to achieve the goals from the 2030 Agenda, new challenges will emerge. The current main challenges to reach the Sustainable Development Goals in the Mamirauá and Amanã Sustainable Development Reserves, in Central Amazon, are connecting to the reality of rural areas.

Circular economy, bioeconomy, and sustainable development goals: a systematic literature review
Researchers conducted a systematic review of 649 studies examining how circular economy and bioeconomy concepts contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. They found that while these approaches show promise for addressing environmental challenges including plastic waste, most research has focused on a limited set of goals and lacks empirical data. The study identifies key research gaps, including the need for more studies on economic and social impacts in developing countries.
Opportunities and Challenges for the Sustainability of Lakes and Reservoirs in Relation to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
This review examines the opportunities and challenges for sustainable management of lakes and reservoirs in the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Researchers assessed how emerging threats including microplastic pollution, climate change, and biological invasions affect freshwater ecosystem sustainability. The study calls for a multidimensional approach that balances economic development with environmental protection to ensure the long-term health of these critical water resources.
Pesca artesanal à luz da fome e dos objetivos do Milênio
This essay examines inconsistencies in the UN Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals as they relate to artisanal fishing communities in Brazil, arguing that traditional morphofunctional classifications of artisanal fisheries have silenced coastal communities and excluded them from marine governance. The author calls for greater integration of traditional ecological knowledge into fisheries management and ocean protection frameworks.
Challenges with microplastic pollution in the regime of UN sustainable development goals
Researchers reviewed the global challenge of microplastic pollution through the lens of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, highlighting how microplastics enter aquatic, terrestrial, and human health systems and how current international frameworks fall short of managing them. The review emphasizes that microplastics can carry and concentrate harmful chemicals like persistent organic pollutants, amplifying their risks throughout the food chain.
A Future for the Inland Fish and Fisheries Hidden Within the Sustainable Development Goals
This study examined how inland freshwater fish and fisheries are absent from the UN Sustainable Development Goals despite their significant contributions to food security, livelihoods, and ecosystem services. The authors outlined pathways to better incorporate these overlooked resources into global, national, and regional sustainability frameworks.
