description: Higher education in Environmental Management has been promoted by several Educational Institutions in Brazil, both in technological and bachelor's degrees. The promotion of this course seems to be one of the Universities' responses to solving the existing socio-environmental crisis. The Environmental Manager professional has an interdisciplinary profile and is prepared to act at the heart of the conflicts and dilemmas generated by human actions on the environment, as well as seek viable and realistic solutions or mitigating measures for various socio-environmental problems. Contributing to the academic training of Environmental Managers is relevant and has gained a lot of space in companies, public administrations, and educational and research institutions. However, as it is a relatively recent area of professional activity, it is still necessary for society to understand how and in what way these professionals can collaborate with the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources and the recovery of degraded areas. In this sense, the Universidade Estadual do Rio Grande do Sul (Uergs), in São Francisco de Paula, promoted the 5th Environmental Management Symposium (SiGA). This is one of the main events in the environmental area at Uergs, which has its permanent headquarters at the Hortênsias Campus and has already had four editions (2012, 2014, 2017 and 2019). In 2023, resuming the event after a long period of social isolation, the meeting was held to learn more about the profession of Environmental Manager, share and improve knowledge in the area, strengthen the network of these professionals and ensure recognition of the profession in the country. The aforementioned commitment has always been part of the organization of this event. The 1st SiGA promoted discussions about the professional Environmental Manager and resulted in the collective writing of the so-called “Carta da Serra”. The 2nd SiGA fulfilled the desire to found the Associação Gaúcha de Gestores Ambientais (AGGA), which continues in activity. In the 3rd edition, SiGA was taken to a new level, with the incorporation of the Postgraduate Program in Environment and Sustainability – PPGAS, started in 2016, based at Uergs Hortênsias. The 4th SiGA sought to build stronger actions with the local and regional external community, aiming to continue and expand their social inclusion. Therefore, as a way of honoring this solid historical construction of the event and promoting reflection on the need for adaptation, resilience and adaptation to this world in constant and rapid transformation, we propose, in this 5th Symposium, to discuss “Environmental Management for the Future” . We propose a reflection on what is expected of an Environmental Management professional and whether the current conventional curricular structure meets this demand.This first volume of the Event´s Proceedings brings together the expanded abstracts approved and presented at the 5th Environmental Management Symposium (SiGA).
