abstract = "This article offers a comprehensive analysis of partnership
networks focusing on sustainability in Brazil's Caatinga and
Cerrado biomes, employing a participatory multi-actor and
multi-level approach. These biomes face significant deforestation,
land degradation, and climate change challenges. By conducting
network analysis, valuable insights are gained into the
sustainability of these areas, revealing key actors and their
interactions crucial for their sustainable future. The research
also examines different scales of political engagement and
prevalent sustainability narratives shaping these networks.
Through methods such as actor mapping, questionnaires, and NetMaps
creation, 337 organizations relevant to sustainability in these
biomes were identified and analyzed. The study uncovers structural
differences between the partnership networks of Caatinga and
Cerrado, with distinct narratives prevailing in each. It
highlights the importance of interstate collaboration for
sustainability discourse, with specific organizations playing
pivotal roles. Notably, the absence of internationally relevant
organizations in these networks is observed. Overall, these
findings contribute to a better understanding of network dynamics
and identify key actors and levels crucial for effective,
sustainable development initiatives in these biomes. RESUMO: Este
artigo oferece uma an{\'a}lise abrangente das redes de parcerias
voltadas para a sustentabilidade nos biomas Caatinga e Cerrado do
Brasil, empregando uma abordagem participativa, multiator e
multin{\'{\i}}vel. Esses biomas enfrentam desafios
significativos relacionados ao desmatamento, {\`a}
degrada{\c{c}}{\~a}o da terra e {\`a}s mudan{\c{c}}as
clim{\'a}ticas. A an{\'a}lise de redes permite obter insights
valiosos sobre a sustentabilidade dessas {\'a}reas, revelando
atores-chave e suas intera{\c{c}}{\~o}es cruciais para o futuro
sustent{\'a}vel dos biomas. A pesquisa tamb{\'e}m examina
diferentes escalas de engajamento pol{\'{\i}}tico e as
narrativas de sustentabilidade predominantes que moldam essas
redes. Por meio de m{\'e}todos como mapeamento de atores,
question{\'a}rios e constru{\c{c}}{\~a}o de NetMaps, foram
identificadas e analisadas 337 organiza{\c{c}}{\~o}es relevantes
para a sustentabilidade nesses biomas. O estudo revela
diferen{\c{c}}as estruturais entre as redes de parceria da
Caatinga e do Cerrado, com narrativas distintas prevalecendo em
cada uma. Destaca-se a import{\^a}ncia da colabora{\c{c}}{\~a}o
interestadual para o discurso da sustentabilidade, com
organiza{\c{c}}{\~o}es espec{\'{\i}}ficas desempenhando
pap{\'e}is centrais. Notavelmente, observa-se a aus{\^e}ncia de
organiza{\c{c}}{\~o}es de relev{\^a}ncia internacional nessas
redes. Em s{\'{\i}}ntese, esses achados contribuem para uma
melhor compreens{\~a}o da din{\^a}mica das redes e identificam
atores e n{\'{\i}}veis fundamentais para iniciativas eficazes de
desenvolvimento sustent{\'a}vel nos biomas.",
