Third Edition of the International Virtual Workshop on Environmental Pollution Data Management within the Framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs)

Event Description:

This event is a collaborative initiative involving academics and researchers from the Faculty of Agronomy and Veterinary Sciences of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí (Mexico), the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the National University of Cuyo (Argentina), and EARTH University (Costa Rica).
Within the framework of reflection on the United Nations 2030 Agenda and the formulation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), encompassing 169 targets across the economic, social, and environmental dimensions, it is considered essential to assess their performance and impact from a global to a local scale. In particular, seven SDGs are of special interest, as several of their targets and scopes require robust data management in order to diagnose conditions, develop models, and generate projections that support decision-making across different sectors of society. These goals include: SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation; SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy; SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities; SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production; SDG 13: Climate Action; SDG 14: Life Below Water; and SDG 15: Life on Land.
The main objective of the workshop is to train students in the analysis and interpretation of environmental pollution data, enabling them to identify the applicable regulatory frameworks related to water, soil, and air, as well as to recognize prevention and mitigation strategies for environmental impacts aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals.
Throughout the workshop, reflections are conducted in relation to the 2030 Agenda. Participants are guided on the importance of environmental, social, and economic sustainability indicators, as well as technological indicators that have evolved over time and their relationship with indicators of water, soil, and air pollution. Special emphasis is placed on the relevance of national environmental information systems and on how issues related to water, soil, and air pollution are addressed from a technical and scientific perspective, considering information categories such as indices, variables, indicators-parameters, and the study of physicochemical and biological properties, among others.
Similarly, several key questions are addressed, such as: What considerations should be taken into account when studying contaminants in water, soil, and air? What can be investigated, and for what purpose should contaminants be studied? Examples of models documented in scientific studies are presented, illustrating the variables and indicators used to assess environmental impacts and pollution arising from anthropogenic and natural activities, as well as the importance of establishing direct and indirect relationships when addressing pollution issues. Finally, a practical component is carried out involving the analysis of specific environmental quality datasets for water, soil, and air, their interpretation within national and international regulatory frameworks, and the use of specialized software for contaminant modeling.
