After World War II, nations began to worry about socio-environmental issues due to the drastic situation of pollution, deforestation and poverty that the world was in. The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm 72) and the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (RIO 92) represented this concern of the countries in proposing solutions to these problems. Agenda 21, subscribed in the latter by 179 countries, portrayed the responsibility of these nations to enable sustainable economic development through social and environmental actions. These agreements are subject to application by the State, together with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and private companies. Therefore, the Brazilian State has made feasible the Brazilian Agenda 21, which aims to promote economic development, reconciling environmental conservation and social justice. Coari having great importance Geopolitical, since it holds significant reserves of oil, entered in the plans of Sustainable Development of the Brazilian State. From that, Petrobras together with the city council promoted the Agenda 21 community in seven communities of Coari: Lauro Sodré, Urucu, Nova Esperança, União, Pera, Vila Lira, Santa Luzia do Bucuizinho. So it developed social projects, being: Riverside Commerce of the Citizenship and Solidary II, Production of Fish Fry of Amazonian Fishes: Generation of Income and Sustainability of the Productive Chain in Aquaculture. Thus, guided by the principles of the National Agenda 21 and from this, by carrying out with Petrobras and its onlays, socio-environmental policies in a way that promotes sustainable development and social justice. However, these social development policies in the region do not address the real adversities of the communities, such as access to electricity, water supply and leisure areas, demonstrating that financial transfers seem to be underutilized.
