Abstract

This work aims to establish the relationship between environmental agenda and the government plans to mayors of candidates in the context of the 2012 municipal elections in the capital of the Amazon. This study sought to make the discussion from the main facts that contributed to shaping the environmental agenda, from Stockholm to Rio +20, this last Conference as the main reference for the study. Thus, the methodological approaches focused on documentary research and quantitative and qualitative data suggested a number of themes in the Outcome Document of Rio +20, constituting the International Environmental Agenda for municipalities. The formation of this Agenda influence and its dimensions, absolute way, the government plans universe of candidates for mayors of the capitals of the Amazon. It was also possible to see strong connections with the fundamental public policies, such as health and population, sustainable cities and human settlements, water and sanitation, and food and nutrition security. The parties that are located to the left of the political ideological spectrum are the ones that present proposals linked to the Environmental Agenda. On the other hand, PV, party imposing environmental flags, contradictorily shows low density issues on the environmental agenda in their government plans. The study also revealed the presence of the Environmental Agenda in Christian parties linked to Protestant churches, which makes us infer that there is an internal discussion in these religious institutions. Even parties with strong participation in the caucus, supporters of opposing the environmental agenda flags, have permeated the government programs of the international environmental agenda, presenting their proposed actions in the environmental agenda, proving that this agenda is imposed indiscriminately. Finally, the environmental agenda is crucial in government plans, and a device to capture the voters.
