Abstract:
The article deals with human resource management, its theoretical principles, and its use in practice in the era of globalization. The main goal of this paper is to analyze and describe human resource management focused on the process of human resource development and education. The article shows how the principles are applied in a selected Information-Communication Technologies (ICT) company in Slovakia as an attractive employer who is interested in satisfaction, education, and growth of its employees, thus employer branding. The data was collected through a questionnaire survey with employees in the selected company. Secondary data from corporate sources were used, too. The aim of the survey was to point out the human resources management in a selected company and to examine the perception of the impact of employees development on their performance and to design effective approaches to personnel development in a selected company with an impact on employee performance. The aim of the survey was to find out whether there was a dependence between the subjectively perceived performance of the employees and individual aspects, which are the completion of technical training programs, individual evaluation of the employee, relocation of the employee, and the number of completed training activities. A questionnaire survey was used to achieve this goal.

Abstract:
Sustainable development (SD) has become a fundamental strategy to guide the world’s social and economic transformation. However, in the process of practice, there are still misinterpretations in regards to the theory of SD. Such misinterpretations are highlighted in the struggle between strong and weak sustainable development paths, and the confusion of the concept of intra-generational and inter-generational justice. In this paper, the literature survey method, induction method, and normative analysis were adopted to clarify the gradual evolution and improvement process of the concept and objective of SD, to strengthen the comprehensive understanding of the SD theory. Moreover, we also tried to bring in the situation and concepts of China. The results show that the theory of SD has gone through three periods: the embryonic period (before 1972), the molding period (1972–1987), and the developing period (1987–present). SD is gradually implemented into a global action from the initial fuzzy concept, including increasing practical wisdom. The goal of SD evolves from pursuing the single goal of sustainable use of natural resources to Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper argues that the theory of strong sustainability should be the accepted concept of SD. Culture, good governance, and life support systems are important factors in promoting SD.

Abstract:
India has made a great effort in a third of the journey on the path of Goal-17 of the United Nations Agenda 2030. In one third of the journey, India has made commendable efforts and dedicated its best in the development journey amidst incomplete preparation, excessive population pressure, inadequacy of resources and lack of technical knowledge and the situation of the most dreaded Karona period. India is ranked 120 out of 165 countries in the index released by the United Nations today, which is a position after slipping 3 points from the 117th rank in the previous index. Even if the pace of development has slowed down. In the coming efforts, India will establish new development pillars in the journey and will set the distance of the new Bhil stone with Bhagirathi efforts at its policy and executive level. Problems faced by India due to excessive population pressure, ever-increasing resources and nature are the main challenges of achieving sustainable development. Those who stay in their federal structure will get the iron of success on the world stage and will get their lost prestige. Converting challenges into opportunities is the basic mantra of the Government of India, which will be fulfilled in the form of a resolution in the interest of the nation with the efforts of every public.

Abstract:
Under the sustainable development goals (SDG), the target for neonatal mortality rate (NMR) was proposed to be less than 12 per 1000 live births by 2030 and may not meet the SDG 2030 NMR target. It may be prudent to focus on moderately low birth weight babies, 1500-2499 g, to reach the goal. This category of babies constitutes 37% of newborn deaths. They need supervised care for a short period that consists of the provision of warmth and breastfeeding with or without antibiotic therapy, and with or without oxygen administration. Despite knowing that these interventions can reduce neonatal deaths, deficiencies in how to implement these measures may be making all the difference to the expected outcome. This paper suggests possible ways to enhance the effectiveness of some of the better-known interventions such as the provision of warmth, feeding, resuscitation, oxygen administration, delivery of continuous positive airway support, and antibiotic therapy.

Abstract:
Applying sustainable development into practice is an important national and regional policy goal in Slovenia; in addition, the country’s membership in the European Union further commits it to the goals of sustainable development. The research presented in this article is based on the use of a set of 32 economic, social and environmental indicators of sustainable development and the calculation of a synthetic indicator of sustainable regional development for all twelve Slovenian NUTS-3 regions in the period 2015–2019. In the final step, a synthetic assessment of the possibilities for implementing sustainable development in individual Slovenian regions is given, in which regions are classified into four different types. A comparison with the previous five-year period showed that Slovenia achieved progress in most of the socio-economic aspects of sustainable development analyzed, while the situation deteriorated with respect to environmental aspects. The largest differences among Slovenian regions were calculated in the economic area, and the smallest in the environmental area, which is also in line with the findings of previous research. There continues to be a development divide between the more prosperous western part of the country and the eastern part, which lags behind and for the most part also has poorer prospects for sustainable development. This trend is unfavorable for the balanced as well as sustainable development of Slovenian regions.

Abstract:
The 2030 Agenda prepared by the United Nations (UN) in 2015 contains 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) broken down into 169 goals and 231 indicators to be implemented by 2030, among them, we highlight the goal Sustainable Development Goal 6: which deals with Water and sanitation for all and aims to achieve universal access to water services and collection and treatment of sewage by 2030 and the objective of this article was to highlight the challenges for the fulfillment of this goal, highlighting the indicatives 6. 1 and 6.2 with a focus on Brazil and Amazonas. The information related to the situation of SDG 6 in the Amazon region is presented and compared with the national realities or other regions of Brazil. To achieve the results, the information National Water and Basic Sanitation Agency (ANA), National Sanitation Information System (SNIS), Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), Institute of Applied Economic Research (Ipea) and National Household Sample Survey (PNAD) were analyzed in the period from 2016 to 2020, with scientific research methods with qualitative and quantitative data that examine the performance of Sustainable Development Goal 6. It was possible to identify that it is necessary to invest in water infrastructure in projects to alleviate the lack of sewage treatment that bothers Amazonian citizens. And the conclusion was that the participation and knowledge of different areas in integrated water management increases the likelihood of achieving the goals of Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG) by 2030, because the sustainable development of the country is linked to its population

Abstract:
The role of institutions is increasingly emphasised as a cornerstone of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, previous studies have not sufficiently considered the relationship between institutions and SDGs using cross-country empirical analysis. Therefore, this study examined the effects of institutions on SDG1 (end poverty) performance using a panel data set covering 111 countries for the period 2010–2019. Instrumental variable (IV) estimation (2SLS) and the three-stage least squares (3SLS) method were used to explore the direct and indirect impacts, respectively, of institutions on SDG1 performance. The institutional impact was captured using a composite index developed from individual worldwide governance indicators and SDG1 performance was evaluated with an index constructed using the SDG index database. The results showed that institutions have a highly significant direct positive relationship with SDG1 performance. Regulatory quality has the strongest influence on SDG1 performance while political stability has the lowest. Furthermore, institutions affect SDG1 indirectly via mediating factors – state policy, economic growth, and SDG2 (end hunger) performance. This study provides robust empirical evidence for enhanced regulatory quality and control of corruption creating a conducive environment for facilitating the achievement of the SDG of ending poverty, suggesting that policies aimed at fulfilling this goal should include the prerequisite of upgrading the country’s institutions.

Abstract:
Doctor Legum - LLD
Water is at the very core of sustainable development, critical for a thriving people, planet and prosperity. Water is regarded as a public good which is fundamental for health and life. Water is so important that it was debated as being a basic human right on many international platforms. Water access has plagued many parts of the world for a long period of time. In recent years, there have been increasingly urgent warnings of a global water crisis, as the human species consistently uses more water than is sustainably available. The international community tried to work towards overcoming these water-related issues by establishing the then Millennium Development Goals (hereafter referred to as MDGs), with MDG7.C focusing on access to safe drinking water. Even though MDG7.C was achieved in part, issues still remained regarding water access and quality. Sustainable Development Goal 6 (hereafter referred to as SDG 6) was then introduced and the scope of SDG6 is much wider than its predecessor, since the water access and scarcity problems are still prevalent today. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development includes a dedicated goal on water and sanitation that sets out to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. SDG6 expands the MDG focus on drinking water to now cover the entire water cycle, including the management of water, wastewater and ecosystem resources, with water at the very core of sustainable development. The goal has, in essence, extended to include a much broader spectrum of issues that need to be solved which, in essence, unravels even more challenges along the way. As a result, it is imperative to determine whether SDG6 can allow for actual sustainable development in terms of freshwater resources. Thus, this thesis will discuss the advent of the Sustainable Development Goals (hereafter referred to as SDGs), in particular SDG6, as well as analyse how SDG6 impacts on International Environmental Law, with particular emphasis on International Freshwater Law. The main aim of this research is to determine whether the creation and implementation of SDG6 can result in overall freshwater sustainability and whether this can result in the furtherance of sustainable development.

Abstract:
Abstract: Given the global sustainability challenge; effective organizational Social Responsibility (SR) guidelines must set best-practices that acknowledge environmental constraints and strive for a sustainable society. SR has historically underrepresented environmental issues and needs to shift from a reactive focus on societal stakeholder demands, to a proactive whole-systems planning framework. There is a risk that unless SR guidelines consider both social and environmental issues together, they may generate negative outcomes to organizational viability. This research finds key Sustainable Development concepts that should be integrated within SR guidelines and uncovers an overall goal of SR as assisting organizations in moving towards a sustainable society. A Sustainable Society is defined in the research according to a set of scientific principles, based on environmental constraints and fundamental social needs. This clear goal enables the organization to ‘backcast’ from this success point in order to take effective strategic steps. The authors recommend the incorporation of critical concepts from Strategic Sustainable Development, a proven organizational sustainability planning framework, into SR guidelines to increase their effectiveness in strategic SR decision-making. The ISO 26000 SR Guideline is used as a case study.

Abstract:
Sustainability has become highly prominent, it is an important aspect of the 21st century that is gradually becoming part of everyday life. Urbanisation has also rapidly increased since the 1950s when New York was the only urban area in the world to be considered a megacity due to its extensive population; presently megacities can be found globally with predicted to arise in the future. The growth rate of some of the largest urban areas in the world has been too rapid for some cities to keep up with; resulting in environmental, social, and economic issues growing alongside the urbanisation trend. The implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) wants to work towards reducing and eventually removing such issues at a global scale; reducing the inequalities of the world that are more than often to visible in large urban areas. This thesis aims to examine the SDGs, specifically that of SDG 11 which focuses on cities and human settlements in line with one of the largest urban areas on the planet, Tokyo. An examination of planning and policy documents composed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) in the form of a comparative analysis alongside key criteria taken from SDG 11 will be conducted to gain an insight and understanding of the plans and policies that are working to create a functioning society in Tokyo.

Abstract:
För att ett samhälle ska utvecklas på ett modernt och framgångsrikt sätt är elektricitet en grundläggande faktor. Tillgång till elektricitet förhöjer levnadsstandarden för befolkningen genom att generera positiva synergieffekter såsom att fler utbildar sig, ekonomisk tillväxt och stabilitet, förbättrad välfärd och internationella samarbeten. När den globala populationstillväxten och användningen av elektricitet ökar blir det av ännu större betydelse att andelen förnyelsebara bränslen i energimixen blir större för att inte påskynda den negativa klimatförändringen. Rwanda är ett litet, kustlöst land i Östafrika med ambitiösa planer om att förse sin befolkning, om 11.9 miljoner, med elektricitet år 2024 och att bli en ekonomi med låga koldioxidutsläpp. Idag har endast 41% av befolkningen tillgång till elektricitet, där 30% är uppkopplade till det nationella elnätet och 11% förses med elektricitet från fristående ellösningar eller mikronät. Rwanda arbetar med nationella policys såsom Vision 2020, Energy Sector Strategic Plan and National Energy policy för att uppnå sina nationella mål. Dessa strategier inkluderar också Förenta Nationernas globala mål och andra internationella åtaganden. Rwanda är också medlem i det gränsöverskridande samarbetet Eastern African Power Pool, vilket kommer förbättra deras framtida möjligheter för handel med elektricitet med sina grannländer. Denna studie syftar till att analysera den nationella elsektorn i Rwanda, både det nuvarande läget och framtida prognoser, för att bidra till landets arbete mot det Globala Målet 7 - Hållbar energi för alla. Ett övergripande mål med studien är att finna en fördelaktig energimix för Rwandas samhälle, miljö och ekonomi. Målsättningen är att samla in data om elsystemet och nationella policys genom en fältstudie i Kigali. Insamlad data sammanställs sedan och sju scenario modelleras genom att använda verktyget OSeMOSYS via gränssnittet MoManI. Scenarierna speglar Rwandas arbete med nationella policys, potentiell export samt hur energimixen påverkas när priset på fotovoltaik reduceras. Resultatet påvisar vattenkraftens betydande roll i Rwandas elsystem och hur den i majoriteten av scenarierna utgör den största andelen av energimixen. De exportscenarios som är kombinerade med nationella policys genererar en högre total systemkostnad medan de med enbart export antingen genererar motsvarande utfall som i grundscenariot eller aningen lägre total systemkostnad. I fyra av sju scenarier får befolkningen tillgång till elektricitet år 2024 och mål 7 uppnås. Baserat på denna studie behöver Rwanda begränsa sina koldioxidutsläpp, investera mer i förnyelsebara energikällor och expandera sitt nationella elnät samt förse befolkningen på landsbygden med fristående ellösningar eller mikronät för att nå mål 7.
For a society to function in a modern and prosperous way, electricity is a fundamental necessity. Access to electricity enhances the living standard of the population by generating positive synergies such as more people proceeding in education, economic growth and stability, improved welfare and collaborations with other nations. As the global population grows and the use of electricity increases, it is of great importance to increase the share of renewable energy resources in the energy mix to decelerate the climate change altered by greenhouse gas emissions. Rwanda is a small, landlocked country in East Africa with ambitious plans to electrify its full population of about 11.9 million by 2024 and to become a low-carbon economy. Today merely 41% of the population has access to basic electricity, where 30% are connected to the national grid and 11% are electrified by off-grid solutions. Rwanda is working with national strategies such as Vision 2020, Energy Sector Strategic Plan and National Energy policy to achieve their goals. These policies comprise, among others, United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions. Rwanda is also a member of the Eastern African Power Pool, which enhances their future possibilities of expanded collaboration with neighbouring countries in terms of electricity trading. This study aims to analyse the national electricity sector of Rwanda, both the current state and future outlooks, to contribute to their achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal 7 - Affordable and Clean Energy for All (SDG 7). The overall aim of the study is to find an energy mix which benefit Rwanda’s society, environment and economy. The objective of the thesis is to collect data about Rwanda’s electricity system and national policies through a field study in Kigali. The collected data is then compiled, and seven scenarios are modelled by using the tool OSeMOSYS through MoManI. The scenarios portray Rwanda’s work with national policies, potential exports and how the energy mix is affected when the price for photovoltaic decreases. The results show the importance of hydropower in Rwanda’s electrification system and how it in the majority of the scenarios constitutes for the largest share in the energy mix. The exports scenarios combined with national policies have a higher total system cost while scenarios with merely exports have either the same total system cost as the business as usual scenario or a bit lower. In four out of seven scenarios electricity access for all inhabitants is ensured by 2024 and SDG 7 is achieved. Based on this study, Rwanda needs to limit their national emissions, invest in more renewables and expand the national grid as well as providing rural areas with off-grid solutions to achieve SDG 7.

Abstract:
Due to the current high levels of urbanisation and the lingering effects of Apartheid, South African municipalities have experienced difficulties in planning for sustainability and more specifically sustainable community development. Sustainable community development is needed in order to achieve more integrated and sustainable towns and cities with an improved urban environment and a higher quality of life. Due to this sustainable community development is of particular relevance to South Africa. Although policies and legislation exist at international, national and local level, there is a lack of suitable planning instruments to guide sustainable community development. Tlokwe Local Municipality is researched as study area to test and develop planning instruments for sustainable community development. An assessment matrix of sustainability indicators is linked to Multi-criteria analysis (MCA) and applied to identify the themes and sub-themes applicable to sustainability in which intervention is required to improve the sustainability rating of the municipality. A Goal Assessment Matrix (GAM) approach is used to score and prioritise municipal projects, plans and strategies according to sustainable community development fundamentals. The top scoring projects are indicative of the achievement of sustainable community development goals and objectives. The result of the sustainability assessment is that the Tlokwe Local Municipality is considered to be relatively sustainable, performing overall better than the three spheres of government against which it was measured. Subsequent to the GAM assessment a lack of alignment between the sectoral plans was identified as well as the duplication of projects. The projects, plans and strategies of the municipality are found to not have been formulated with sustainable community development framework as a guiding goal. It is recommended that municipalities use the assessment matrix methods to determine its level of sustainability when developing respective sectoral plans (SDFs, ITPs, EMFs and IDPs). Areas in which there is a lack of sustainability are highlighted and can consequently be addressed through intervention strategies. Prioritising municipal projects, plans and strategies through the use of GAM identifies crucial projects that need special attention to ensure their successful implementation as this will largely aid sustainable community development. Both the assessment matrix method and the GAM approach are valuable planning instruments with which to achieve sustainable community development.

Abstract:
In a fast moving world where maritime transport corridors play a major role in the movement of people and goods, there are significant sustainability issues with these operations. This paper considers the sustainability of these corridors and the contribution of security and safety measures to achieve sustainability. The research commences with a literature review and practitioner survey on sustainability, security and safety of maritime transport, then develops the analysis using the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development (FSSD) and causal loop diagrams to analyze and evaluate measures and actions that could lead towards a sustainable maritime transport corridor - education and training, energy alternatives, waste management, dematerialization, efficient land and sea use, standardized operations between ports and community engagement. The Baltic Transport Corridor is used for analysis. Further recommendations are made in order to facilitate the path for future research and study.

Abstract:
This thesis is a theory consuming case study that aims to examine how the Council of the European Union voted in matters regarding the environment between 2015 and 2019 in order to begin the implementation of the 2030 Agenda’s Sustainable Development Goal number 13. Moreover, the thesis further examines the impact of the Council’s voting results on the European integration process by using rational choice institutionalism and three explanatory factors; ideology, institutional factors and economical position in the EU. The findings of the thesis show that the member states in the EU voted diversely and that only four member states constantly voted yes throughout 2015 to 2019. Despite the diversity in voting, the factors and the theory utilised here helped explain why it is unlikely that disintegration would occur. As a result, it is clear that the European integration process will continue even though the voting results of the Council could impact further integration or even disintegration due to the member states’ various preferences. The future of European integration thus continues to be uncertain.

Full text
Abstract:
The study examines the role of the Forest Act 1927 in promoting sustainable forest governance in Bangladesh. By applying a doctrinal method, this thesis has evaluated the contribution of the Act for protection, restoration, sustainable use, and sustainable management of forests in Bangladesh. These are the standards set by Goal 15 of the SDGs, which create governance priorities for the states to sustainably manage their forests. Though the Forest Act 1927 has several provisions regulating the protection, restoration, sustainable use, and sustainable management of forests, this study argues that its deficiencies can impact sustainable forest governance in Bangladesh.

Abstract:
In 2015, the United Nations established seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) that aimed 'to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all' by 2030. The chapters within this collection address each of these SDGs, considering how they relate to one another and international law, and what institutions could aid their implementation. Development has been a contentious topic since the decolonization period after World War II, and issues surrounding sustainable development are necessarily impacted by the multifaceted relationship between the Global South and Global North. Confronting the context and challenge of sustainable development, this collection outlines how the international economic system problematizes the attainment of the SDGs. Introducing a novel, cosmopolitan approach, this book offers new ways of understanding sustainable development and suggests potential solutions so that we might finally achieve it.

Abstract:
AbstractDivorce is a huge topic of concern for God in the Qur’an. Even as He makes clear that it is His least-favourable solution to marital discord and even as He counsels a period of reflection and even recommends mediation, God makes explicit His commandment that the divorce process be kind and fair to women in contrast to the then-prevailing customs. But custom to this day has been neither kind nor fair to women: the “wedding-knot” (‘isma) has been deemed by society to be held solely by the man, limiting a woman’s ability to obtain a divorce at all, much less a fair one. This has often also impacted women’s access to their own children upon divorce, surely a most unkind situation, one that is only emboldened by the false idea that men are “guardians” of women as it makes them feel even more entitled to be the sole guardians of their children.

AbstractThis chapter describes Bangladesh’s successes with advancing gender equality in the period of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), locating their origins in elite commitment to including women in the development process, and in the partnerships and aid that built the state and NGO capacity to reach them. The chapter reflects on the lessons of Bangladesh’s innovative and unexpected advances in the light of the new challenges posed by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably those of early marriage and the achievement of decent work. The chapter asks whether contemporary conditions suggest that the elite commitment and state capacity that drove progress on the MDGs are up to meeting the more contentious and complex goals of the SDGs.

Abstract:
Education in the field of community life and the mechanism under the auspices of society can register significant progress. A high-quality and high-performance education system, adapted to contemporary standards of social inclusion and sustainable development, the guarantee of a sustainable, harmonious and favorable future for each individual. Currently, human society is challenged to respond to all problems, both on a global and national, regional or even local level. These problems endanger the future of humanity, the importance of the present education, being considered to be the basis of solving the problems of the contemporary world. Education for sustainable development develops and improves the capacity of individuals, groups, communities, organizations and countries to think and act in favor of sustainable development. Access to quality education is essential for the proper functioning of a sustainable society. In general, education is wrongly considered to be only a process that precedes entering the labor market. From the 2030 Agenda, education is a fundamental theme. The Sustainable Development Goal deals with the theme of education and is called "Guarantee a quality education and promote life-long learning opportunities for all", One of the targets of this SDG is to present. in 2030, substantially increasing the number of young people and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, to facilitate employment, decent job creation and entrepreneurship. During the pandemic, conducting practical training courses was a challenge for technological high schools. From the spring of 2021, while the classes were each held online or hybrid, it was decided that the training internships would take place physically. We propose to carry out an analysis of the challenges of the teachers who had practical training internships and the economic agents involved in the level of pre-university education in Suceava.

Abstract:
The increased number of financial crises and ecological catastrophes, as well as expanding inequality in the context of globalisation, have raised questions on the assumptions of mainstream economic theory and its fairness. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, national economies have had to face up to the new reality, which has placed great importance on the context of economic stability, security and sustainable development policies. This paper analyses the issues that need to be considered by national economic bodies in the process of achieving Sustainable Development Goal 9 (SDG 9) and transforming the economy. These issues are based on the experience gained during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is advisable to transform the economy in a way that focuses on the development of the manufacturing industry, including high-tech industries. However, these sectors should be mainly exportoriented. The development of export production should not only be based on the natural comparative advantage, but also, for the sake of expediency, on the acquired comparative advantage.

Abstract:
The paper is devoted to the current issue of 2020 on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism industry in general, Azerbaijan in particular, and overcoming this crisis, taking into account the main aspects and goals of sustainable development. The primary purpose of the article is to form recommendations for compliance with the goals of sustainable development in the tourism industry of Azerbaijan with the levelling of events caused by the influence of COVID-19. A review of the scientific literature concluded that the issue of tourism marketing in crisis conditions is always complicated and multifaceted. The development of the tourism sector is a positive change for the host countries, which helps to solve problems in other areas of the economy. During the preparation of the material, a marketing survey of Azerbaijani citizens was conducted to study the potential impact of COVID-19 on the tourism industry. The analytical method of the article analyzes the goals of sustainable development, announced following the Resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly on September 25, and which become most relevant in the context of 2020 and are a challenge for modern society and Azerbaijan in particular. As a result of this study, recommendations were made to restart the tourism sector in Azerbaijan, given compliance with and implementation of sustainable development goals. The results of this study can be useful for the governing institutions of Azerbaijan and other countries in which the tourism industry has developed dynamically and rapidly over the past few years.

Abstract:
The Russian economy is one of the most influential economies in the world, since it is fully capable of self-sufficiency in basic foodstuffs, exporting food, being a global technological leader in many industries. In recent years, the Russian economy has been facing major external economic and political threats, which makes it necessary to restructure the macroeconomics in order to increase its financial stability and efficiency. The main provisions of the Decree of the President of Russia on the goals of national development until 2030 were considered. The research purpose is to study the transition period in the economy to its more progressive structure in 2016-2019 in terms of the most important components of the gross product: intermediate consumption, value added, exports, imports, trade and transport margins. The research objectives are related to the study of the influencing factors on the dynamics of macroeconomic indicators, forecasting further changes. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the assessment of progressive changes in the dynamics and structure of the Russian macroeconomics. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of predicting structural changes based on the identified trends. It is also possible to create a new methodology for assessing the contribution of Russia’s real economy to world trade, based on the presence of signs of its more progressive way of life, high financial stability and efficiency.

Abstract:
Establishing and implementing the most appropriate strategies for sustainable development is an increasingly common goal, which plays a vital role in achieving global performance in sustainable business. Some economic entities are looking for more than achieving results in accounting profit, focusing on sustainable development through a responsible approach to economic activities. The role of economic and financial analysis in the strategies for sustainable development in order to conduct sustainable business is a decisive one, this being the one that should direct the non-financial activities. Entities must look at the concept of performance from a global point of view because the sustainability of the performance will be achieved only by establishing as the entity's goals social responsibility and environmental protection in addition to the financial ones reflected by the economic-financial analysis. The social responsibility manifested by the economic entities implies a balance of the profit with the social and environmental implications. Changes in the economic environment of the last period have affected the way of approaching the performance. Social responsibility joins the purpose of each profit maximization entity, which further leads to synergistic effects. The most well-known form of social involvement is the sponsorship by which an entity offers a certain amount of money to another entity that does not carry out activities from which to make a profit. In the second part of the paper we presented the involvement of a prestigious economic entity in sponsorship and social responsibility actions, paying particular attention to the social cause, and we analyzed the correlation between the trend set by these social actions and the financial performance. The participation of several categories in the profit of the economic entity is possible through the development of a social responsibility manifested within the community.

Full text
Abstract:
At present, the energy from renewable sources is an important element of the sustainable development strategy of the European Union (strategy covering the period until 2020). The article presents the role of renewable energy in the structure of primary energy sources and total energy production. In order to evaluate the present-day role of the renewable energy sector, specific European Union states were analysed, with particular focus on Poland, the country whose results were juxtaposed with the average ratios established for the EU-28. A detailed analysis of the current facts was performed (also a forecast for the period running up to 2020 was made), where particular energy sources were distinguished in the renewable energy production structure. A special role among renewable energy sources was ascribed to solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal energy, biogases and biofuels. The conclusions drawn from the research point out to the fact that the development of renewable energy in Poland is growing slowly but surely. In 2011, the share was at 9.5% and by 2015 it grew to 11.8%, with the target set for 2020 being at the level of 15.0%. The production of energy from renewable sources is improving (from 7.5 to 8.1 Mtoe). Nevertheless, the share of primary energy obtained from renewable energy sources in the total primary energy is less than half of the EU share. The data showcase that the projected aim is likely to be achieved; however, the few years to come should envisage some intensification of activities oriented to this goal. Biomass now enjoys the dominant role but its significance is gradually waning, which favours wind energy and biofuels. The projected directions of renewable energy development indicate that this sector is going to be a significant factor in implementing the sustainable development policy in the years to come.

This policy brief is based on the first of Nordregio’s three Localising Agenda 2030 webinars in 2022. It aims to highlight the shared experiences between Nordic municipalities and inspire local officials and decision-makers to invest in adaptive leadership and smart steering tools. During the webinar, municipal leaders from Finspång, Sweden, and Kristiansund, Norway, presented their tested tools and learnings, followed by a panel discussion with Kópavogur, Iceland, and Espoo, Finland, addressing several questions: How is sustainability work organised within the municipalities to achieve genuine progress? How do mayors and officials collaborate to build commitment and momentum around Agenda 2030 in all departments? Which are the main barriers and success factors to efficiently integrate the SDGs into local planning and budgeting tools – and turn goal conflicts into synergies?

Full text
Abstract:
This evaluation reviews the experience of the Inter-American Development Bank Group (IDB Group) with using medium- and long-term guarantees to support its clients during the period 2005 to 2020. This is the first evaluation by the Office of Evaluation and Oversight (OVE) of the guarantee instrument - an instrument that has the potential to mobilize private resources and has been in the tool kit of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) since its establishment (see IDB, 1996). The evaluation is delivered at a time when the IDB Group and its borrowers are looking for innovative ways to mobilize additional financing to confront the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, to meet the Sustainable Development Goals, and to comply with the Paris Agreement. The From Billions to Trillions initiative prepared jointly by several multilateral development banks (MDBs) aims to mobilize private financing for these goals (AfDB et al., 2015). This evaluation examines the extent to which the IDB Group has used guarantees to mobilize private resources and identifies the main challenges to the use of long- and medium-term guarantees. The focus is on guarantees as an instrument, and thus the evaluation does not assess the outcomes of projects and programs financed using guarantees.

There is a need for renewable antimicrobial surface treatments that are semi- permanent, can eradicate both biofilms and planktonic pathogens over long periods of time and that do not select for resistant strains. This proposal describes a dopamine binding technology that is inexpensive, bio-friendly, non-toxic, and uses straight-forward commercially available products. The antimicrobial agents are peptidoglycanhydrolase enzymes that are non-toxic and highly refractory to resistance development. The goal of this project is to create a treatment that will be applicable to a wide variety of surfaces and will convey long-lasting antimicrobial activity. Although the immediate goal is to create staphylolytic surfaces, the technology should be applicable to any pathogen and will thus contribute to no less than 3 BARD priorities: 1) increased animal production by protecting animals from invasive and emerging diseases, 2) Antimicrobial food packaging will improve food safety and security and 3) sustainable bio- energy systems will be supported by coating fermentation vats with antimicrobials that could protect ethanolic fermentations from Lactobacillus contamination that reduces ethanol yields. The dopamine-based modification of surfaces is inspired by the strong adhesion of mussel adhesion proteins to virtually all types of surfaces, including metals, polymers, and inorganic materials. Peptidoglycanhydrolases (PGHs) meet the criteria of a surface bound antimicrobial with their site of action being extracellular peptidoglycan (the structural basis of the bacterial cell wall) that when breached causes osmotic lysis. As a proof of principle, we will develop technology using peptidoglycanhydrolase enzymes that target Staphylococcus aureus, a notoriously contagious and antimicrobial-resistant pathogen. We will test for susceptibility of the coating to a variety of environmental stresses including UV light, abrasive cleaning and dessication. In order to avoid resistance development, we intend to use three unique, synergistic, simultaneous staphylococcal enzyme activities. The hydrolases are modular such that we have created fusion proteins with three lytic activities that are highly refractory to resistance development. It is essential to use multiple simultaneous activities to avoid selecting for antimicrobial resistant strains. This strategy is applicable to both Gram positive and negative pathogens. We anticipate that upon completion of this award the technology will be available for commercialization within the time required to achieve a suitable high volume production scheme for the required enzymes (~1-2 years). We expect the modified surface will remain antimicrobial for several days, and when necessary, the protocol for renewal of the surface will be easily applied in a diverse array of environments, from food processing plants to barnyards.

Abstract:
No person with a disability shall be left behind. This report presents suggested indicators for monitoring the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability and Agenda 2030 in the Nordic region. The vision of the Nordic cooperation is to become the most integrated and sustainable in the world by 2030. The vision mirrors the sustainable development goals of Agenda 2030, according to which no-one shall be left behind. Persons with disabilities have the right to inclusion, and the Nordic countries monitor the developments of living conditions for persons with disabilities. All countries have also ratified the Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities and have high ambitions with regard to Agenda 2030. Throughout the region we face similar challenges concerning inclusion. Participation is not equal, not in employment, nor in education, economy, or health. But to improve this we need to see it. Even if a set of indicators is not the only way forward, they can help us measure if we are on the right track. In this report, we suggest a set of indicators that could be developed further and used to follow the developments towards inclusion and measure living conditions. By developing such a set of comparable indicators in the Nordic countries, we can see whether the countries separately and collectively follow the intentions of the UNCRPD to improve the living conditions of people with disabilities. The indicators are also an aid in the work to identify whether we are working correctly to achieve the Agenda 2030 targets.

Abstract:
Dairy in Kenya is facing several challenges, which is hampering the agricultural sector’s growth and affecting the lives of 40% of the population (USAID, 2021). To address the challenges and fulfil Kenya’s 2030 visions for the sector (Economic & Macro Pillar | Kenya Vision 2030, n.d.), integrating sustainable consumption and production (SCP) practices along the value chain could decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, promote more efficient utilization of resources, and foster sustainable lifestyles. This is in line with Sustainable Development Goal 12 as part of the United Nation’s 2030 Agenda. This policy brief examines how various applications of SCP practices along the dairy production chain could increase productivity while promoting economic growth. The study outlines several policy recommendations such as providing extension services at the local level.

Full text
Abstract:
Coffee is an essential player in Kenya’s agricultural sector, yet it has suffered a steady decline in production in the past 40 years. Addressing the sector’s challenges can also advance the UN 2030 Agenda’s 12th Sustainable Development Goal, which is to “ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns,” by incorporating Sustainable Consumption and Production Practices (SCPs) in the coffee value chain. This policy brief explores the potential integration of SCPs across the coffee production chain. We present SCPs that emerged from a series of focus group discussions, stakeholder consultations and surveys, which will minimize environmental impacts and maximize productivity and worker welfare. We also summarize capacity-building measures and financial support required to implement the SCPs at scale. Adopting the recommended solutions can both boost Kenya’s coffee industry and put the sector on a path toward greater environmental sustainability.

Abstract:
The topic of this research report is an important one in the context of Asia’s rapid economic development in recent years, and the need to rethink development policy and especially methodologies of development communications, so the mistakes of the past will not be replicated. Thus, the study is an important initiative at this period of time. The research takes as a case study the Buddhism for Development Project (BDP) implemented at Ban Bungsanthueng village in the Khammouane Province by its Buddhist Volunteer Spirit for Community network (BVSC network). The fieldwork took place at the BDP’s training centre in Vientiane and the Buddhist initiatives at Ban Bungsanthueng. The research demonstrates how the BDP and its network apply participatory approaches through interpersonal communication, such as sermon delivery, Dhamma (Buddhist teachings) talk, and daily interaction with villagers and project members.

Abstract:
Floods are major water-related disasters that affect millions of people resulting in thousands of mortalities and billiondollar losses globally every year. Flood Early Warning Systems (FEWS) - one of the floods risk management measures - are currently operational in many countries. The UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction recognises their importance and strongly advocates for an increase in their availability under the targets of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, despite widespread recognition of the importance of FEWS for disaster risk reduction (DRR), there’s a lack of information on their availability and status around the world, their benefits and costs, challenges and trends associated with their development. This report contributes to bridging these gaps by analyzing the responses to a comprehensive online survey with over 80 questions on various components of FEWS (risk knowledge, monitoring and forecasting, warning dissemination and communication, and response capabilities), investments into FEWS, their operational effectiveness, benefits, and challenges. FEWS were classified as technologically “basic”, “intermediate” and “advanced” depending on the existence and sophistication of FEWS` components such as hydrological data = collection systems, data transfer systems, flood forecasting methods, and early warning communication methods. The survey questionnaire was distributed to flood forecasting and warning centers around the globe; the primary focus was developing and least-developed countries (LDCs). The questionnaire is available here: https://inweh.unu.edu/questionnaireevaluation-of-flood-early-warning-systems/ and can be useful in its own right for similar studies at national or regional scales, in its current form or with case-specific modifications. Survey responses were received from 47 developing (including LDCs) and six developed countries. Additional information for some countries was extracted from available literature. Analysis of these data suggests the existence of an equal number of “intermediate” and “advanced” FEWS in surveyed river basins. While developing countries overall appear to progress well in FEWS implementation, LDCs are still lagging behind since most of them have “basic” FEWS. The difference between types of operational systems in developing and developed countries appear to be insignificant; presence of basic, intermediate or advanced FEWS depends on available investments for system developments and continuous financing for their operations, and there is evidence of more financial support — on the order of USD 100 million — to FEWS in developing countries thanks to international aid. However, training the staff and maintaining the FEWS for long-term operations are challenging. About 75% of responses indicate that river basins have inadequate hydrological network coverage and back-up equipment. Almost half of the responders indicated that their models are not advanced and accurate enough to produce reliable forecasts. Lack of technical expertise and limited skilled manpower to perform forecasts was cited by 50% of respondents. The primary reason for establishing FEWS, based on the survey, is to avoid property damage; minimizing causalities and agricultural losses appear to be secondary reasons. The range of the community benefited by FEWS varies, but 55% of FEWS operate in the range between 100,000 to 1 million of population. The number of flood disasters and their causalities has declined since the year 2000, while 50% of currently operating FEWS were established over the same period. This decline may be attributed to the combined DRR efforts, of which FEWS are an integral part. In lower-middle-income and low-income countries, economic losses due to flood disasters may be smaller in absolute terms, but they represent a higher percentage of such countries’ GDP. In high-income countries, higher flood-related losses accounted for a small percentage of their GDP. To improve global knowledge on FEWS status and implementation in the context of Sendai Framework and SDGs, the report’s recommendations include: i) coordinate global investments in FEWS development and standardise investment reporting; ii) establish an international hub to monitor the status of FEWS in collaboration with the national responsible agencies. This will support the sharing of FEWS-related information for accelerated global progress in DRR; iii) develop a comprehensive, index-based ranking system for FEWS according to their effectiveness in flood disaster mitigation. This will provide clear standards and a roadmap for improving FEWS’ effectiveness, and iv) improve coordination between institutions responsible for flood forecasting and those responsible for communicating warnings and community preparedness and awareness.
