8.4 Improve progressively, through 2030, global resource efficiency in consumption and production and endeavour to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, in accordance with the 10-year framework of programmes on sustainable consumption and production, with developed countries taking the lead;
8.5 By 2030, achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men, including for young people and persons with disabilities, and equal pay for work of equal value;
8.6 By 2020, substantially reduce the proportion of youth not in employment, education or training;
8.7 Take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2025 end child labour in all its forms;
8.8 Protect labour rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers, including migrant workers, in particular women migrants, and those in precarious employment;
8.9 By 2030, devise and implement policies to promote sustainable tourism that creates jobs and promotes local culture and products;
8.10 Strengthen the capacity of domestic financial institutions to encourage and expand access to banking, insurance and financial services for all;
8.A Increase Aid for Trade support for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, including through the Enhanced Integrated Framework for Trade-Related Technical Assistance to Least Developed Countries;

- Interaction between invasive species and chytridiomycosis in amphibians under climate change: guidelines for conservation strategies, BP.PD
Abstract
Human activity has accelerated environmental degradation, leading to a global biodiversity crisis. Climate change has emerged as a key driver of this crisis, particularly affecting more vulnerable groups like amphibians. Multiple factors currently threaten amphibians in a synergistic manner. Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), poses a significant th…
- Decent work, safety and health: an analysis of local, regional and national indicators using the Smartlab platform, BP.IC
Abstract
Decent work is the one which is considered economically and socially appropriate, carried out in conditions of freedom, equity, and security, and capable of guaranteeing dignity for the workers. It is part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 8) in the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda. However, there are major challenges to its full implementation, such as informality, the deteriorati…
- Education Quality and Economic Growth: An Empirical Analysis in Brazilian Municipalities, BP.IC
Abstract
This study analyzes the role of education quality as a determinant of the aggregate economic growth of Brazilian municipalities. The research has two main objectives. The first is to update the debate in the established literature in the field of the economics of education, with theoretical references and empirical evidence on the role of human capital. The second is to present recent evi…

- How Automation Affects Allocation of Talent?, BP.PD
Abstract
Automation, which involves replacing human workers with machines programmed bysoftware, is expanding in several sectors, such as banking, transport, industry andagriculture, often integrating artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the precision oftasks. The joint use of AI with human work can result in a significant increase inproductivity, automating routine tasks and allowing humans to…
- SKULL DIVERSITY OF THE GUIANA DOLPHIN Sotalia guianensis (VAN BÉNÉDEN, 1864) ON THE COAST OF THE STATE OF SÃO PAULO - THE USE OF GEOMETRIC MORPHOLOGY IN UNDERSTANDING THE GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION PATTERNS OF THE SPECIES, BP.IC
Abstract
The Guiana dolphin Sotalia guianensis (Van Bénéden, 1864) is one of the Sotalia genus species to inhabit the estuarine-coastal regions of South America, including the Amazon river system (Da Silva & Best, 1996). The effective separation between the species of the genus is relatively recent and occurred via morphology (Borobia, 1989), three-dimensional geometric morphometry (Montero-Filho …
