Um plano de desenvolvimento sustentável é indispensável para garantir um ambiente resiliente e para conduzir essa transição as Nações Unidas definiram 17 Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS). A Economia Circular (EC) aborda as mesmas áreas críticas (econômicas, sociais e ecológicas) e pesquisas demonstram que ela contribui para alcançar um número significativo de metas dos ODS. Um dos setores que a EC está se concentrando em melhorar é o ambiente construído, portanto, para obter uma visão global sobre o tema, este artigo analisa três escalas de intervenção: a microescala de uso e reuso de materiais (ligada ao ODS 9. Indústria, Inovação e Infraestrutura e 12. Consumo e Produção Responsáveis); a mesoescala dos edifícios para melhorar a eficiência energética (vinculado ao ODS 7. Energia Limpa e Acessível); e a macroescala do ambiente urbano e os benefícios de soluções baseadas na natureza para compensar os impactos ambientais (vinculado ao ODS 11. Cidades e Comunidades Sustentáveis). Observou-se que há uma lacuna de conhecimento sobre sistemas naturais em áreas urbanas, e a recomendação é estimular novas pesquisas utilizando uma metodologia interdisciplinar.

One of the sectors that CE focuses on improving is the built environment, so to examine it from a broader perspective, this paper focuses on three scales of intervention: the micro-scale of materials use and reuse (linked to SDGs 9. Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure and 12. Responsible Consumption and Production); the meso-scale of the buildings to improve energy efficiency (linked to SDG 7. Affordable and Clean Energy); and the macro-scale of the urban environment and the benefits of nature-based strategies to compensate ecological impacts (linked to SDG 11. Sustainable Cities and Communities). It was observed that there is a lack of knowledge about natural systems in urban areas, so the recommendation is to encourage further research with an interdisciplinary framework.

Abstract
A sustainable development plan is indispensable to guarantee a resilient environment, and to drive this transition the United Nations individualized 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Circular Economy (CE) addresses the same critical areas (economic, social and ecological) and researches demonstrated that it is of great contribution to achieving a significant number of SDGs targets. One of the sectors that CE focuses on improving is the built environment, so to examine it from a broader perspective, this paper focuses on three scales of intervention: the micro-scale of materials use and reuse (linked to SDGs 9. Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure and 12. Responsible Consumption and Production); the meso-scale of the buildings to improve energy efficiency (linked to SDG 7. Affordable and Clean Energy); and the macro-scale of the urban environment and the benefits of nature-based strategies to compensate ecological impacts (linked to SDG 11. Sustainable Cities and Communities). It was observed that there is a lack of knowledge about natural systems in urban areas, so the recommendation is to encourage further research with an interdisciplinary framework.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
