Florianópolis

Committed

This destination is in the process of certification.

Tourism in Florianópolis is deeply connected to the city's commitment to sustainability and quality of life. Surrounded by the sea, lagoons, and vast conservation areas, the capital of Santa Catarina seeks to harmonize urban growth with environmental protection and community well-being. Recognized nationally for its environmental policies, Florianópolis has set a goal to become, by 2030, Brazil's first Zero Waste Capital, promoting recycling programs, composting, waste valorization, and environmental education.

With 60% of its territory preserved, the city hosts conservation units that protect a rich biodiversity, as well as having one of the cleanest airs in the world and a remarkable carbon sequestration potential — a reflection of the balance between nature, innovation, and sustainable development. Its economy is predominantly clean, with a highlight on the technology and creative economy sectors, which reinforces Florianópolis' positioning as a destination that combines innovation, environmental responsibility, and high-quality tourism.
