Tackling Climate Change through Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships: Promoting SDG 17 to Combat Climate Change

The seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to address environmental, social, global, and economic challenges. The SDGs were a continuation of the Millennium Development Goals and assumed a common vision for the year 2030. Efforts to achieve the SDGs must be carried out in an integrated manner, respecting the three pillars of sustainable development, which are economic, social, and environmental. This review analyses the viability of Sustainable Development Goal 17 (SDG 17), which aims to build global partnerships for development. It makes specific reference to multi-stakeholder collaboration between all sectors of society. While the first sixteen SDGs are dedicated to concrete actions, SDG 17 Partnerships for Development coordinates and facilitates the implementation of the other goals. SDG 17 promotes the “right way” of collaboration between different actors through the formation of multi-stakeholder partnerships, which are essential to foster sustainable development. Although SDG 17 has its multiple advantages, it also does have its limitations, such as the present absence of a lessons-learned repository to share and understand how multi-stakeholder partnerships can prove more effective in promoting the successful implementation of the rest of the SDGs, as well as that SDG 17 seems to be regarded as more appropriate to the achievement of the economic pillar of sustainability at the moment, rather than being applied more widely. In this review, we analyze two case studies located in the south-western part of France, from which one can observe the great number of stakeholders, some non-human, even inanimate, present even in relatively minor projects and how due consideration of the interests of all of them in a manner following due process (albeit lengthy) enables decisions to be reached correctly and approved projects implemented soundly. One of the projects was rejected and did not proceed, while the other was approved and is going ahead.

The influence of public-private partnership on strengthening the financial security of business entities

Introduction. The uncertainty of clear prospects for the post-war recovery of the domestic economy creates significant obstacles in the formation of a reliable financial base for the development of the state and business entities. Such conditions actualize the development of new forms and methods of accumulating financial resources, in particular in terms of involving the state in the processes of restoring the full-fledged activity of a significant number of partially destroyed and damaged large enterprises, as well as supporting the development of medium and small business entities, with the aim of strengthening their financial security . One of the forms of state participation in providing business entities with financial resources on mutually beneficial terms is a public-private partnership. A public- private partnership is a collaboration between business and government officials for the implementation of a specific project. The business entity as a private partner implements it and receives a monetary reward, and the state receives the corresponding infrastructure object.Purpose. The purpose of the article is to develop theoretical and methodological principles and practical approaches to using the opportunities of public-private partnership at a qualitatively new level, to identify the main directions of the development of such a partnership to strengthen the financial security of business entities in the context of the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine’s economy.Methods. To achieve the goal defined in the research, general scientific methods were used: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction (for the formation of theoretical foundations of public-private partnership); functional and statistical analysis, systematization, measurement, modeling (to assess the possibilities of applying public- private partnership); generalization, optimization, argumentation, (for the development of directions for increasing the efficiency of public-private partnership in order to strengthen the financial security of economic entities).Conclusions. A theoretical approach to uncovering the essence of public-private partnership has been developed, and an algorithm for its implementation is provided. The practice of using public-private partnership in Ukraine has been analyzed, problems have been identified, among which the most important is the need to reform the current legislation in order to simplify the procedure for involving business entities to participate in public-private partnership projects, and approaches to their solution have been proposed.Discussion. Prospects for further research are the need to solve the problems of effective use of modern forms of public-private partnership in the context of ensuring both the economic security of the state and the financial security of economic entities.

Human–river relationships depend on human–human relationships: River and watershed organizations in three western US states

AbstractHuman–nature relationship concepts are held collectively within society and guide environmentally oriented actions. This article explores the roles played by environmental organizations, particularly those focused on rivers and watersheds, in catalyzing interaction and action driven by human–river relationship goals. Interviews were conducted with representatives from 64 river and watershed organizations in Montana, Utah, and Wyoming in 2022. Organizational representatives were asked about mission focus areas, human–river relationships, the knowledge they draw upon to guide their efforts, and factors and obstacles that enable and constrain their progress and success. These qualitative data reveal a strong orientation toward steward and partner types of human–nature relationship concepts; however, there are discrepancies in conceptual interpretations. For river and watershed organizations in the US Intermountain West, human–river relationship goals depend strongly on human–human relationships in the form of diverse knowledge integration, collaboration, partnerships, trust, and communication in order to achieve their river‐related goals.

The involvement of civil society organizations in social dialogue is emphasized to be require a clear legislative definition of their legal status. The author supports the thesis that organizational and legal forms of social dialogue are information exchanges, consultations, collective bargaining, conciliation and arbitration procedures and mediation. Relevant changes to the legislation are proposed. Scientific discussions regarding the relationship between the concepts of “social dialogue” and “social partnership” are critically analyzed. It is substantiated that social dialogue is only one form of social partnerships between representatives of the state, employers (business) and employees. Public and private partnership as a reflection of social responsibility and corporate social responsibility are other forms of such interaction. The paper proposes to develop a national strategy of social partnership, where different forms and areas of interaction of stakeholders are foreseen.

Corporate Social Responsibility

The present paper approaches Corporate Social Responsibility through a case study concerning Cause Related Marketing, whose concept is defined by strategic partnerships between companies and social organizations. The enterprises invest on the social cause, promoting the corporate social responsibility, whereas the social organizations receive financial resources for their causes, and both gain visibility. Nowadays, it is quite common to find enterprises worldwide which include private social investment in their market strategies to add value and credibility to their brands. However, in Brazil few enterprises are aware of the possibility to use this tool of Cause Related Marketing (CRM). The scope of this study is to understand and clarify the kind of partnership between Alpargatas-Havaianas and Institute of Ecological Research-IPÊ, in Brazil, as well as identify the main challenges of the partnership developed by both. To reach this aim, bibliographic research was performed, followed by document analysis, partially structured in-depth interviews, besides direct observation in some stores. The partnership started in 2004 and showed to have well structured principles of CRM, concerning the alignment between the parties, formal partnership, social cause, donation mode and duration. It was observed that the sales people in the exclusive stores for Havaianas and IPÊ sandals can be more well trained, and communication on the partnership for the consumer can be strengthened. Cause Related Marketing showed to be an important tool for Corporate Social Responsibility.

A practical revealed preference model for separating preferences and availability effects in marriage formation.

Many demographic problems require models for partnership formation. We consider a model for matchings within a bipartite population where individuals have utility for people based on observed and unobserved characteristics. It represents both the availability of potential partners of different types and the preferences of individuals for such people. We develop an estimator for the preference parameters based on sample survey data on partnerships and population composition. We conduct simulation studies based on the Survey of Income and Program Participation showing that the estimator recovers preference parameters that are invariant under different population availabilities and has the correct confidence coverage.
