Abstract

The aim of the article is the theoretical and methodological substantiation of the international imperatives of sustainable development of rural communities. The study was carried out on the basis of a systematic approach to the cognition of economic phenomena and processes. To solve certain problems, the following methods were used: system analysis – for contentualization of the evolution of international imperatives of sustainable development; comparative analysis – for the study and adaptation of foreign experience; induction and deduction – to formulate conclusions and recommendations on the issues under study. The synthesis of the works of foreign and domestic scholars made it possible to determine that the definition of «international imperative» is a multifaceted concept that combines political, economic, social and institutional aspects of society, aimed at achieving high European standards and ensuring sustainable development, at the same time it should promote the national idea and identity. It is determined that the international imperatives of sustainable development of rural territorial communities are formed on the basis of global initiatives and agreements aimed at achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), taking into account the economic, social and environmental needs of society. A contentualization of the key imperatives of the formation of global views on the Sustainable Development Goals is performed. Emphasis is placed on the EU’s priorities for the implementation of the SDGs, the following such priorities are recognized as key ones: climate change and carbon neutrality, biodiversity conservation initiatives, measures to combat social inequality, to ensure gender equality, improving working conditions, involving all segments of the population in decision-making processes. The importance of intensifying international cooperation to solve global problems, strengthen the institutional foundations and financial mechanisms for responding to pandemics, natural disasters and other global crises is emphasized.
