Those indicators correspond to the years 1991, 2000, and 2010 across all Federal Units, taking all 5,565 Brazilian municipalities as units of analysis. This study was inspired by a key passage from the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio +20; Rio de Janeiro, June 2012) outcome document (The Future We Want), which declares: “We recognize that health is a precondition for and an outcome and indicator of all three dimensions of sustainable development […]: social, economic, and environmental”. Selected indicators were those included within the targets of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and that will have continuity within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be set by the United Nations’ Member States for the post-2015 period. Those indicators are: infant and child mortality as health dimension indicators; population poverty prevalence as an economic dimension indicator; population illiteracy rate as a social dimension indicator; and, proportion of people without access to safe water as an environmental dimension indicator. Analyses at all federal units in the country show clear improvements over the two decades studied (1991 to 2010), especially from 2000 to 2010, in terms of progress in sustainable development, as assessed by a reduction in the average values of the indicators analyzed, as well as in progress in health equity, as assessed by a decline in absolute and relative health inequalities between regions and municipalities, which is by itself an extremely relevant fact to point out. *Access the Atlas **/(in Portuguese only): /*click here <http://bit.ly/1Mm8sRR>.
