Atualmente, a agenda mediática encontra-se cada vez mais preenchida com os temas relacionados com a proteção do ambiente, sendo recorrente o anúncio de inúmeras iniciativas relacionadas com esta temática. Não obstante, e de uma forma geral, a atenção mediática e as iniciativas de proteção ambiental, tem tido uma fraca materialização na redução dos danos irreversíveis causados ao planeta e à saúde das populações. Os danos ambientais infligidos ao planeta resultam essencialmente de fatores como o crescimento económico, o crescimento populacional à escala global e o aumento do consumo. No sentido de melhor caracterizar o panorama em torno das questões ambientais, foi efetuada uma revisão bibliográfica que permitiu confirmar a urgente necessidade de abordar temas como o desta dissertação, que contribuam para elevar a consciência ambiental das populações, e apontar as medidas necessárias para reverter ou melhorar a atual situação. O principal desiderato desta dissertação pretende apontar soluções sobre como reduzir o impacto ambiental, com ou sem incremento do bem-estar das populações, com ou sem crescimento económico, em diferentes contextos culturais. Para alcançar este objetivo foi recolhido um conjunto de dados de vários países, localizados em várias geografias e com contextos socio económicos diversos, relativos ao período selecionado (2010 – 2020), aos quais foram aplicadas técnicas de correlação e modelos matemáticos, tendentes a extrair destes o conhecimento necessário que permita apontar soluções que enderecem os vários desafios ambientais que a humanidade atualmente enfrenta. Entre as soluções encontradas está o incremento do investimento em educação ambiental, o incremento da educação sexual e perceção das condicionantes económicas das famílias em termos de reprodução, e a diminuição do consumo.
Currently, media's agenda has been increasing its focus on topics related with environmental protection resulting in the plethora of advertisements of multiple initiatives that are associated with this theme. Nevertheless, media's focus and these initiatives for environmental protection have been having a lesser impact on the irreversible damages caused to the planet and population health than what's expected. These environmental damages inflicted on the planet are essentially the result of a diverse set of factors like the economic and population growth to a global scale paired with the increase of consumption. To better define the panorama gravitating these environmental queries, a bibliographic revision took place that allowed the confirmation of the urgent need to approach topics like the ones discussed in this dissertation, that will contribute to elevate the environmental awareness of the population as well as suggest a set of measures needed to revert or improve the status. The main desideratum of this dissertation aims to write down some solutions about how to reduce the environmental impact, with or without the increase of the well-being of the population and economic growth, within different cultural contexts. To reach this goal a multiple set of data was collected from different countries, located in various geographical areas with diverse social-economical contexts between the period of 2010-2020. This dataset was submitted to correlation techniques and mathematical models to extract the knowledge necessary that will allow to point out some solutions that address the various environmental challenges that humanity currently faces. Some of the solutions that resulted from this data treatment encompasses the increase investment in environmental education, the spread of sexual education as well as the perception of economical constraints of the family in relation to reproduction, and lastly the decrease of consumption.
