The central hypothesis is that carbon pricing, when implemented in isolation, has a structurally limited capacity to drive change in sectors characterized by diffuse emissions, in which responsibilities are shared among multiple agents along extensive value chains and assets with a lifespan of fifty to eighty years. The research adopts a qualitative and exploratory approach, combining comparative document analysis with a case study of the municipality of São Paulo. The theoretical framework articulates the concept of policy mix (Howlett, 2011), which assesses the coherence between objectives, instruments and institutional context, and that of polycentric governance (Ostrom, 2010), which underpins the multiscalar analysis of responsibilities over diffuse emissions. Four international experiences are examined, the European Union, California, Chile and Colombia, selected because they represent different scales of governance and contrasting stages of regulatory maturity. The temporal scope of the comparative international analysis and of the Brazilian regulatory framework covers the period from 2015 to 2025, extending to January 2026 for documents related to the SBCE and to urban policies in São Paulo. The results indicate that the carbon price signal reaches the building sector predominantly through the pass-through of costs to emissions-intensive inputs, such as cement and steel, a channel that persists even under free allocation of allowances. The cases showing more consistent progress combine carbon pricing, binding technical regulation and redistributive reinvestment of auction revenues. In São Paulo, the regulatory framework is relatively advanced regarding operational emissions and urban form, but lacks requirements for life-cycle assessment in permitting procedures and specific regulation of embodied carbon in construction materials. The dissertation concludes that the effectiveness of the SBCE in the building sector depends on the construction of a coherent arrangement of instruments, articulating binding technical regulation, redistributive financing and urban policies, with a central role for the municipality as an institutional translator of national economic signals into concrete territorial transformations.

This dissertation analyzes the role of Independent Technical Advisorship (ATI), identifying advances and limitations in its trajectory of action within the structure of social participation and in its relationship with the Institutions of Justice, in the context of repair governance in Brumadinho. To this end, two qualitative studies were conducted based on interpretive document analysis. The first study employs the 3A³-framework of participation proposed by Hofer and Kaufmann (2023) to systematize, through documentary analysis of the Judicial Reparation Agreement (AJR), the actors, arenas, and objectives that constitute the participation structure. The second study is based on an interpretive content analysis, organizing two Commitment Agreements and two Work Plans of Aedas into categories related to ATI’s performance, such as characteristics, scope, social control, transparency, methodological coordination, funding, objectives, activities, and target audience. Together, the two studies reveal gaps and weaknesses in social participation in the reparation of the disaster, marked by centralized decision-making, limited protagonism of affected people, and the reduction of ATI’s scope and autonomy, exposing structural tensions within the governance model.

This study investigates how the integration of monitoring protocols can guide and support water-resource management in the reservoir. The study analyzed data produced by the CETESB monitoring network between 2014 and 2024 and complemented them with in situ measurements obtained using portable technology, specifically the AlgaeTorch fluorometric probe. The methodological approach included temporal trend analyses (Mann–Kendall and Sen’s Slope), spatial assessments (thematic GIS-based maps), and multivariate procedures (Factorial, Hierarchical Cluster and Canonical Discriminant Analyses). Three central patterns were identified: (i) a gradual improvement in water quality after 2017, marked by reductions in total phosphorus, reactive nitrogen, and chlorophyll-a, directly influenced by the hydrological regime and rainfall regularization; (ii) strong spatial heterogeneity, distinguishing compartments with distinct ecological functions: accumulation zones, resilient transition areas, and upstream sectors that are less impacted; and (iii) the persistence of a hypereutrophic state, although followed by a decline in phytoplankton productivity due to the low bioavailability of phosphorus. The multivariate methods enabled the identification of coherent environmental groups and latent ecological processes not captured by the conventional monitoring network, revealing limnological signatures associated with hydraulic operation, diffuse pressures, and water residence time. Measurements obtained using portable fluorometry demonstrated a high potential as a complementary tool to enhance the spatial resolution of the assessment, allowing the detection of algal biomass gradients in areas not covered by CETESB’s monitoring stations. The integration of these approaches constitutes an effective strategy to support water-resource management, as it does not require drastic interventions in the CETESB monitoring practices but rather adjustments in data-analysis methodologies and their complement with low-cost, rapid-response technologies capable of generating reliable information and indicating which areas and types of actions should be prioritized. The study contributions support advances in the governance of metropolitan water supply systems, aligned with the principles of water security, territorial planning, and sustainable cities.

Although urban vegetation plays a strategic role as a Nature-based Solution (NbS), providing ecosystem services such as thermal regulation and carbon sequestration, its spatial distribution is highly uneven and often disconnected from the most socially vulnerable areas. In this context, this study aimed to analyze, at the intra-urban scale, the distribution of these ecosystem services in the municipality of Ribeirão Preto (SP), Brazil, and their relationship with patterns of socio-spatial inequality, incorporating climate change as a structuring element of the analysis. Methodology: Land Surface Temperature (LST) and carbon sequestration potential (CO2FLUX) were mapped for both wet and dry seasons, from which ecophysiological indices and functional correlations were derived. In parallel, social vulnerability indices were developed based on census data from IBGE (2022), enabling an integrated assessment of climatic, ecological, and social dimensions. Environmental indicators were synthesized using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and grouped through k-means clustering, resulting in intra-urban thermo-ecological classes. Each census tract was simultaneously classified according to environmental condition and vulnerability level (CLASS_ISV), allowing the construction of a contingency table. The association between variables was tested using the Chi-square (χ²) test, with a 5% significance level. Results: The results showed a statistically significant association between environmental conditions and social vulnerability, indicating that more vulnerable sectors systematically coincide with areas of higher thermal stress and lower provision of ecosystem services. A clear intra-urban thermo-ecological gradient was observed, in which increasing LST is associated with a reduction in the ecophysiological capacity of vegetation. The multivariate synthesis enabled the identification of distinct environmental typologies applicable to urban planning, revealing the persistent concentration of unfavorable environmental conditions in socially vulnerable areas, characterizing a pattern of urban environmental injustice. This scenario is likely to intensify under regional climate projections for the State of São Paulo (2020–2050), which indicate rising temperatures, more frequent heatwaves, longer dry periods, and increased variability in extreme precipitation, thereby amplifying risks related to extreme heat, drought, and hydrological events in Ribeirão Preto. Conclusion: The findings highlight the need to incorporate socio-environmental equity criteria into urban planning, with territorial prioritization of UOPs 22-O, 11-O, 10-O, 02-N, 03-AER, 01-CE, and 08-O. This prioritization aligns with national and state climate policies, which recognize municipalities as key actors in climate adaptation and emphasize the territorialization of climate risks and the integration of environmental and socioeconomic variables. At the local level, these results are consistent with the Municipal Master Plan, the Municipal Climate Change Plan, and the Strategic Plan for the System of Green Spaces and Urban Forestry, supporting the implementation of more precise and equitable interventions in response to worsening climate conditions.
