During the month of November, Aliança Energia will hold meetings with residents of the communities surrounding the Funil HPP to build the Participatory Socio-Environmental Diagnosis (DSP), one of the stages of the process of updating the plant’s Environmental Education Program.
The initiative meets a requirement of the environmental agency of Minas Gerais and follows the guidelines of the current environmental licensing. The diagnosis aims to listen to residents, learn about local characteristics and demands and gather information that will contribute to the development of the new Environmental Education Program.
Residents of Ijaci, Ribeirão Vermelho, Macaia, Bom Sucesso district, Lavras, Funil community and Paiol community (MG), are invited to participate in the meetings, according to the following schedule:
