This article is part of a\u00a0<\/i>series of articles on Rio de Janeiro\u2019s 2020 municipal elections<\/a><\/i>\u00a0from a favela perspective.<\/i><\/p>\n

The Sustainable Favela Network<\/a> (SFN)* invited candidates running for Mayor<\/a> of Rio de Janeiro and for membership in Rio\u2019s City Council<\/a> to sign a letter of commitment<\/a> to the sustainable development of the city’s favelas based on valuing community expertise, thus strengthening ongoing community initiatives. The letter, written by 60 members of the SFN from socio-environmental projects working in 38 favelas across Rio de Janeiro, was signed by five mayoral candidates\u2014Benedita da Silva<\/a> (PT<\/a>), Eduardo Bandeira de Mello (REDE<\/a>), Fred Luz (NOVO<\/a>), Renata Souza<\/a> (PSOL<\/a>) and Su\u00ead Haidar (PMB<\/a>)\u2014and 89 city council candidates. The letter contains 21 proposals and 82 sub-proposals regarding laws and other policies to support the sustainability and resilience of favelas in Rio de Janeiro, home to more than 22% of the city\u2019s population<\/a>.<\/p>\n

73 of the candidates committed to all of the proposals in the letter. Another 16 candidates gave their partial commitment and indicated their level of current commitment to each proposal. The candidates who gave partial commitment took the time to respond to each of the 21 proposals and 82 sub-proposals. 87 of the signatories promised that if they were elected, they would organize a meeting to learn about and develop proposals with the Sustainable Favela Network during their first 100 days in office. Two of the candidates who signed the letter didn\u2019t commit to holding a meeting, but both indicated they would look into the possibility.<\/p>\n

\"SFN<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIn Rio de Janeiro, people tend to see the favela as an intrinsic problem. However, both in terms of the origin of favelas<\/a> (as a solution to a lack of shelter) and in terms of their ongoing evolution<\/a> (constantly responding to underinvestment through individual and collective actions) the favela is not a problem,\u201d the commitment letter states. \u201cThe truth is that favelas are solutions factories and\u2026 they show a diverse range of sustainable urbanistic qualities. [However, favelas] have been historically neglected, their assets have not been recognized, and their residents are systematically stigmatized due to living in a territory that is seen as both informal and problematic.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sustainable Favela Network<\/a> is a community-based network that connects, strengthens and multiplies sustainability and resilience-building initiatives in Rio\u2019s favelas, to realize the potential of favelas as part of a future sustainable urban world. The SFN brings together more than 150 socio-environmental projects<\/a> across Rio de Janeiro\u2019s favelas and has worked with more than 2,000 participants during its first two years. The commitment letter offers proposals linked to basic sanitation, income generation, environmental education, memory and culture, gardens and reforestation, and solar energy.<\/p>\n

\u201cEspecially during this current moment, while we are still living through the Covid-19<\/a> pandemic, a visionary urbanism based on the knowledge and agency of favelas has become essential,\u201d the letter states. The letter was presented to mayoral candidates during a debate promoted by the Sustainable Favela Network<\/a>. \u201cPromoting sustainable development through recognition of the high-quality work already going on in favelas will mean promoting health, quality of life, and income generation in a fair and sustainable way for the population of Rio de Janeiro. It will mean creating a city with less sewage and more education, with fewer environmental risks and more culture. It will mean guaranteeing a fairer, more inclusive, and safer city for all Rio de Janeiro residents.\u201d<\/p>\n
