Resumo

Desenvolvimento sustentável da gestão da água no contexto das alterações climáticas: experiência ucraniana

Os seres humanos precisam de acesso à água limpa e ao saneamento básico para seu bem-estar de forma geral, mas a Ucrânia enfrenta desafios significativos para alcançar o Objetivo de Desenvolvimento Sustentável 6 (ODS6). Este estudo explora o progresso da Ucrânia, comparando seu desempenho com os pares da Europa Central e Oriental e avaliando os riscos hídricos e climáticos usando a estrutura de Risco Hídrico do Fundo Mundial para a Natureza (WWF). Foram analisados dados estatísticos da Ukrstat (2015–2023) e da ONU (2024) para avaliar os indicadores do ODS6 na Ucrânia. Realizou-se uma análise comparativa com Polônia, República Tcheca, Eslováquia e Hungria. Métricas de risco hídrico do WWF, incluindo o Risco Físico da Bacia, também foram examinadas. A Ucrânia demonstrou progresso limitado em indicadores-chave do ODS6, como a proporção de populações rurais e urbanas com acesso a redes de esgoto centralizadas. A análise comparativa revelou baixo desempenho da Ucrânia no gerenciamento seguro da água potável (87,6%) e no tratamento de águas residuais (50,2%). Dados do WWF classificaram a Ucrânia na 74ª posição global em Risco Físico da Bacia, destacando vulnerabilidades na disponibilidade e na qualidade da água. Os resultados indicam a necessidade de práticas aprimoradas de proteção hídrica e metodologias robustas de benchmarking para acelerar o progresso no ODS6. Monitoramento fortalecido, reformas políticas e colaboração internacional são cruciais para melhorar a segurança hídrica da Ucrânia e alcançar as metas do ODS6.

Palavras-chave: mudanças climáticas; desenvolvimento sustentável; setor hídrico; ODS6.
