Environmental change induced by water engineering development dominates the global watershed sustainable development issues

Introduction: Global watershed sustainable development has experienced world-wide threats from continuing anthropogenic stressors, and the need to deepen and broaden research encompassing the intersection in global environmental change as well as environmentally oriented watershed sustainable development (EOWSD) has been noticed. However, there is not yet a widely recognized cognition on the applicability and scope of various EOWSD issues, and the zoning of global EOWSD issues is remains uncertain despite it is crucial for achieving global watershed sustainable development.Methods: This research was conducted to both clarify the zoning and evolution of various EOWSD issues around the world, and differentiate the relative impacts on EOWSD of climate change and human activities. The global EOWSD issues were summarized from 62 watersheds around the world as 6 categories associated with different aspects of global watershed sustainability. And the partition method, in which the spatial and temporal variations of global summer Normalized Difference Vegetation Index in summer were examined and the quantitative climate classification were conducted, indicates a clear and definite relationship between the zoning of EOWSD issues and 8 natural geographical zones. Meanwhile, we selected 34 watersheds either or both are the 100 most populous river basins and the 100 largest (by area) river basins in the world from the 62 watersheds to assess relative effects of human impact on watershed sustainability.Results: Results from the numerical analyses of baseline water stress (BWS) values, which was used to provide a robust measure of human impact and evaluate the impact and relative importance of human-induced changes on watershed sustainability, indicate that the human activities do not affect the zoning of EOWSD issues at global scale while the environmental change induced by water engineering development should be certain to affect that on the long-term.Discussion: Our findings present a new perspective to illustrate the relationship among global EOWSD, environmental change and human impacts, and will also provide a scientific basis on setting future emphasizes of global watershed sustainable development and furthering the related disciplines.

The role of communication in sustainable development of the territory (case of the Baikal natural territory)

Modern society is experiencing a transformation of the existing management system. The industrial growth model has been replaced by the concept of sustainable development. Its strategic goal is to achieve a balance between economics, environmental sustainability and social responsibility. Thus, the very nature of sustainability involves communication and interaction. The objective of this study is to analyze the sustainable development of the Baikal natural territory and the role of communications in this process. In the work, the author turned to Russian and foreign research on issues of sustainable development and its communicative component. In the practical part, the author assesses social, economic and environmental sustainability, proposes types of sustainable development strategies based on the communication component. The results of the analysis show the lack of sustainability of the development of the Baikal natural territory, which contributes to the emergence of heated discussions regarding the future. Its participants are various subjects. Their goals, level of knowledge and power resources are different, which affects their readiness for structural changes and does not exclude a conflict of values between the participants. An assessment of the measures taken allows to identify several types of sustainable development management strategies: regulatory, programmatic, research, coordination, reflexive, communicative and managerial. The author believes that, with account to its high ambivalence, strategic environmental communications contribute to achieving sustainability.

The sustainability-to-employment pipeline: the impact of SDG-related curricula on graduates’ employability

ABSTRACT Public and private organizations—including higher education institutions—frequently adopt the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to facilitate a better future. In their efforts to realize the Agenda 2030, universities are focusing on how teaching and curricula shape students’ competencies in interpreting and contributing to current societal challenges. Likewise, with businesses increasingly engaged in sustainable development issues, students will need SDG-related skills to align with current job-market requirements. Here, we examine the relationship between master graduates’ employability and the presence and type of SDGs in their curricula. We run a series of logistic regressions where we use three different model specifications: (i) curriculum with an SDG-related ECTS above the mean, (ii) curriculum related to a specific class of SDG (well-being, environment, economy, governance), and (iii) curriculum related to a specific SDG. Further, we consider three aspects of employability: having a job, job coherence (i.e. the match between a job and one’s field of study), and employment quality (i.e. having a higher salary). For this purpose, we collected data from 5,784 master's graduates at the University of Bologna in 2017. We derived employability measures from 2020 AlmaLaurea data to have a three-year time lag from graduation. Generally, we find that students who attended courses with SDG-related content achieved a higher and better occupation or a better skill match. At a grouped level, we find that SDG categories have a different impact on the students’ working outcomes. For instance, students with more SDG-related ECTS in the economy area have higher odds of being employed, finding a better job-skill match, and getting better salaries. In addition, the single goals were studied by showing the effects on finding work, having a skill match and earning a better salary.

GIG economy and sustainable development: bibliometric analysis and identification of future research directions

Purpose: The aim of this article is to identify the most common fields of study undertaken by researchers in scientific papers covering simultaneously the gig economy and sustainable development. Design/methodology/approach: The research study used a structured literature review method. The structured bibliometric query Q1 allowed for the exploration of the Scopus database. As a result, 48 scientific studies from the period 2017-2023 were selected for analysis, which simultaneously addressed the issues of the gig economy and sustainable development. Findings: The analyses carried out showed that the issue of sustainable development is addressed in the context of the gig economy. This is a relatively new research area, as shown, for example, by the generated database of studies used for the bibliometric analyses conducted. The issues of sharing economy and decent work are important areas addressed in the context of the gig economy. It was noticed that there was a lack of author keywords covering 'green' issues. Research limitations/implications: Research results based on other databases (e.g. Web of Science) may lead to different results. It should be noted that the different bibliometric databases do not overlap, which is related to the indexing of scientific journals or publications in the databases. Nonetheless, a universal query was used in the study, which can be used in the various bibliometric databases once it has been adapted to their respective query form. In addition, the various databases are constantly being supplemented with new scientific papers, which also depends on the publishing process. Hence, the content of the Q1 query can in future be used for comparison purposes with the results obtained, or to compare different bibliometric databases with each other. Originality/value: In the discussion that followed, attention was drawn to the issues of green jobs and green self-employment. In the authors' opinion, such research directions, although not yet visible in the authors' keywords, will be developed soon in the context of studies covering the issues of the gig economy and sustainable development considering the green transformation of the economy taking place. This article is addressed to all those who are interested in the issues of the gig economy and sustainable development. Keywords: gig economy, green jobs, green labor market, green self-employment, sustainable development. Category of the paper: Literature review.

Оцінка системи управління екологічними ризиками відповідно до ESG-факторів

Changes in society's perception of environmental problems, social issues and the corporate governance system generate new risks associated with ESG factors (Environmental, Social, Governance). Taking into account the influence of ESG factors in risk management from a position not only as threat prevention, but also the company's ability to create long-term value is becoming more relevant than ever. The integration of accounting for ESG factors and issues of sustainable development into the strategy, corporate governance system, including the risk management system plays an important role in creating long-term value. Therefore, the risk management system becomes the foundation of sustainable development and the guarantee of achieving strategic goals. Paying attention to ESG factors helps the organization acquire competitive advantages and reach a new level of development. The object of research is the environmental risk management system. The subject of the study is the assessment of the environmental risk management system in accordance with ESG factors. The aim of the article is to study the environmental risk management system in accordance with ESG factors. Methods of analysis and synthesis, theoretical method, comparison method, analytical and prognostic methods were used during the work. The article covers environmental problems, social issues and corporate governance systems; the main stages of the influence of ESG factors in risk management are revealed. The authors came to the conclusion that in order to ensure sustainable development of the organization in the long run, it is necessary to take into account ESG factors when developing a long-term strategy with an assessment of their degree of influence on risks and opportunities. The key to successful activity is the creation of a comprehensive risk and opportunity management system in the company, integrated into the strategy of sustainable development. Identification and assessment of environmental risks is an important point regarding the organization's environmental policy, its goals, objectives and measures in the field of environmental protection. For the effective elimination or minimization of environmental risks, the formation and development of environmental risk management is necessary.

Формирование методического подхода к прогнозированию устойчивого развития региона

Subject/topic. The article is devoted to the scientific problem of sustainable development of the region. Issues of sustainable development have become acutely discussed in the international community at all levels of government, in connection with environmental pollution, ecosystem depletion, and climate warming. The problems of reducing the quality of life and the economic inexpediency of regional investment projects are added to environmental problems. The subject of the study is a methodological approach to forecasting the sustainable development of the region. Goals/objectives. The purpose of the study is to develop an author's methodological approach to forecasting the sustainable development of the region, taking into account its specific features and taking into account the accumulated experience in this area. Methodology. The research methodology was a systematic approach, which used: a retrospective analysis of significant indicators of regional development, approximation, statistical methods of information processing, correlation and regression analysis. The empirical basis of the study was Rosstat data on the socio-economic development of the regions. Results. The author's methodological approach to forecasting the sustainable development of the region includes methods and techniques for building an economic model and assessing its quality. A universal algorithm for the formation of an economic model for forecasting the sustainable development of the region has been developed. The selection of independent and dependent variables - factors influencing the sustainable development of the region - has been carried out. The presented economic model of forecasting the sustainable development of the region, developed on the basis of correlation and regression analysis, reflects the peculiarities of the development of a particular subject of the Russian Federation. The model is quite reliable from the point of view of statistical estimates, which makes it possible to conclude that it describes the sustainable development of the region with high probability. Conclusions/significance. The novelty of the study lies in the development of the author's methodological approach, which includes an algorithm for the formation of such an economic model, which will identify social, environmental and economic factors affecting the sustainable development of the model region and assess the degree of their influence. As a result, it was possible to identify priority areas of activity of public authorities to achieve sustainable development of the Moscow region. Application. The proposed algorithm for forming an economic forecasting model is universal and can be applied to predict the sustainable development of other regions, taking into account the assessment of the quality of the economic model. The results obtained can be useful for substantiating management decisions of public authorities on the sustainable development of regional systems, forecasting the sustainable development of the region, taking into account its specific features affecting the development of the ecosystem.

IMPACT INVESTMENT IN POST-WAR UKRAINE

To restore the economy of Ukraine in the post-war period, it is expedient to work out applicable communication tools with investors. With respect to the global market, there is a noticeable trend towards an increase in impact investments in 2016-2022 by $ 1,050 billion or in other words, 10.21 times. The rapid growth of impact investing at the global level testifies to the significance of investments aimed at achieving the provisions of the concept of sustainable development. The purpose of the study is to elaborate theoretical and practical provisions for information support of impact investing in order to attract financial resources to restore the economic activity of business entities in the post-war period in compliance with the sustainable development guidelines. Having conducted a study of the published non-financial reporting of large and medium-sized industrial enterprises of Ukraine, it was found that only 22.7% thereof prepare a Sustainable Development Report annually. With respect to the selected enterprises group, 91% prepare a management report in an arbitrary form and publish it on their official website. Having conducted a study of published nonfinancial reporting of large and medium-sized industrial enterprises in Ukraine, it turned out that only 22.7% of them annually prepare a Sustainable Development Report. In the selected group of enterprises, 91% prepare a management report in any form and publish it on their official website. However, given the arbitrary form of information presentation, investors cannot fully obtain up-to-date information about the company’s social policy and environmental activities. In addition, the formation of reporting on issues of sustainable development and social responsibility has not yet become widespread among Ukrainian enterprises, which hinders the development of impact investing in Ukraine. Especially with regard to increasing the investment attractiveness of Ukrainian enterprises, the structure has been clarified and meaningful recommendations have been developed regarding the information content of the Management Report, which will contribute to increasing the transparency of reporting and attract influential investors.

Historical aspect of sustainable development in globalization

Introduction. The article analyzes in a formal-historical approach, the conceptual evolution of the terminology of sustainable development, which initially has mainly ecological interaction, but later begins to include social values in its definition, when a connection is established with the well-being of future generations. As a result, international society introduced the concept of "sustainable development", which involves preventive actions, with the practice of government regulation related to initiatives that involve economic growth, social justice and environmental preservation in the context of globalization. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to study the conceptual evolution of the terminology of sustainable development in the context of globalization. Method (methodology). The methodological basis of the research is scientific works on issues of sustainable development in the conditions of globalization. The research methodology is based on the fundamental principles of dialectics, induction and deduction, which allow to identify the main characteristics of the studied socio-economic phenomena and processes in their relationship, to determine the key trends of their formation, formation and sustainable development. Results. The results of the study allowed us to conclude that despite different approaches and understandings of "sustainable", "balanced", "stable" and "sustainable" development, it is worth noting that the goals of development are directly related to peace and stability. The relationship between peace, on the one hand, and food security, on the other, is one of the factors determining the absolute necessity of balanced sustainable development on a global scale at the current stage. Balanced sustainable development is the development of a society in which living conditions improve, and the impact on the environment remains within the economic capacity of the biosphere, so the natural basis of human functioning is not destroyed. With sustainable balanced development, the satisfaction of needs is carried out without harming future generations, and the concept of development is perceived as a prerequisite for the long-term progress of mankind, accompanied by the increase of capital and the improvement of environmental conditions. It is worth noting that for Ukraine, balanced development must necessarily be accompanied by a departure from the "debt-dependent economic model" focused on consumption.

Sustainable development and museum professions: a preliminary study in emerging trends and transformations

Over the past decade, the issue of sustainable development has initiated a new “revolution”, challenging the management and internal operations of all institutions and professions, even the most traditional ones, such as museums. This change is not only a response to external circumstances but also a reflection of the aspirations of internal actors. What are the new emerging trends desired by museum professionals? This preliminary study explores evolving trends in museum professionalism based on insights gathered during the 26th ICOM (International Council of Museums) General Conference in Prague (2022). It analyses 20 non-directive interviews conducted as part of participant observation. Focusing on the five heritage expertise areas identified by CHARTER Alliance – “planning and management”, “outreach and communication”, “preservation and safeguarding”, “crafts and traditional knowledge”, and “general knowledge” – the findings suggest a transformative shift towards greater audience connection, community involvement, and experimental approaches. Moreover, professionals also express an interest for sustainable museum practices. The study underscores a broader ambition to equip museum professionals with adaptive skills, emphasizing the significance of long-term viability, ethical practices, and community engagement. Thus, the recent new museum definition (2022) by ICOM in Prague and its latest actions reinforces these transformative features, emphasizing the sector’s pivotal role in shaping the future of heritage and museums towards more sustainable practices.

Digitalisation and sustainable employment as a factor of agricultural development

In recent years, the attention of researchers has focused on sustainable development issues in labour and employment. Of particular concern are the negative trends of unsustainable employment in the agricultural sector. The study aims to conduct a comparative assessment of the sustainability of digital and non-digital forms of employment in agriculture. The empirical basis was a nationwide sociological survey of citizens (N = 3,890) conducted in June – September 2023. The results revealed a difference in employment conditions between two segments of agricultural workers: ‘digital’ and ‘non-digital’. Those working in the digital segment are more likely to be satisfied with their working conditions, have higher labour income and more flexible working hours. The results obtained allow us to formulate the hypothesis that digital employment is more sustainable than non-digital employment. It is concluded that it is viable to implement a set of measures aimed at increasing the sustainability and attractiveness of work in agriculture through the transformation of working conditions, the system of professional training, attraction and retention of personnel. Digital workers can act as drivers of current and future transformations in agricultural industry, so it is essential to promote a systematic increase in the sustainability of their employment.

Presenting a Conceptual Model Based on Cognitive Components and Personality Traits Affecting Entrepreneurial Competence through Document Analysis

Objective: Following the publication of a report on sustainable development issues, the United Nations identified creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship as key elements to address sustainable development challenges. The primary objective of this study was to present an appropriate conceptual model for entrepreneurial competence based on cognitive components and personality traits with an emphasis on creativity. In this context, to achieve a comprehensive and hypothetical understanding of the psychological factors' impact on entrepreneurship, an integration of both the creativity and entrepreneurship domains was utilized. Methods and Materials: This study employed a qualitative meta-synthesis approach. According to the qualitative meta-synthesis method, the research population included all Persian and English scientific documents (research articles, theses, and books) published in the field of entrepreneurship from 2010 to 2022. To assess the quality of the found articles, the impact factor of a scientific journal was examined, and 90 articles were approved. Then, the relevant data from each article were extracted and entered into MAXQDA software. After reaching saturation, content analysis in this software was a systematic and continuous process of data comparison, conducted in three stages: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding, based on Strauss and Corbin's approach. Findings: The results showed that the conceptual model of entrepreneurial competence based on cognitive components and personality traits with regard to creativity includes the following: Personality traits (dynamism and restlessness, lively interaction and humor combined with personal discipline, thoughtful extraversion, ambition with altruism, simultaneous femininity and masculinity, rebellious and independent, passionate yet realistic and goal-oriented, suffering and pain along with much pleasure, determined and serious yet flexible, internal control source, openness and the expansiveness of fantasy rooted in realities, emotional stability with emotional steadiness, hardworking and perseverance combined with responsibility). Cognitive components (intelligence quotient above 120, active memory, attention and concentration, convergent and divergent thinking), Contextual conditions (planning ability, organizational ability, time management and control, reasoning power, judgment ability, decision-making power, problem-solving ability, impulse control), Intermediate conditions (cognitive flexibility, ambiguity and conditions of uncertainty and certainty, being active, experience-seeking and risk-taking). Conclusion: It can be concluded that a multidimensional empirical approach of cognitive components and personality traits provides more information.

Economy and sustainable development issues among local ethnic minorities in the South Central Highlands, Vietnam

Sustainable development has been a topic of concern to the Party and State for many decades. Especially, the sustainable development in mountainous regions and ethnic minority areas has always been focused on with promulgated resolutions and policies. Local ethnic minorities in the South Central Highlands such as Ede, Co-ho, Mnong in particular, and other ethnic minorities are also among the subjects of concern to promote the sustainable development. However, currently, in order to develop sustainably as expected by the Government, these ethnic groups must gradually solve the challenges they are facing, including economic development, hunger eradication and poverty reduction, food security, education development, etc. Although these issues have positively changed over the past years, they are still not enough to ensure the sustainable development. Because of the high rate of poor and near-poor households, low education levels and limited lifelong learning opportunities, uncertain food security, etc., to achieve the sustainable development, in addition to the efforts of the ethnic groups themselves, the Government still needs to continue to support them more in the coming time to gradually solve the challenges they are facing. That is also the goal of this article with implications for policy implementation so that local ethnic minorities in particular and other ethnic minorities in general can develop sustainably in the future. The data source of the article was collected in the community in 2022 by participant observation, questionnaire surveys, and in-depth interviews. The article analyzes the economic situation and explores the challenges that local ethnic minorities in the South Central Highlands are facing.

Basic directions and possibilities of sustainable development of tourism from the aspect of economic indicators of sustainability: Mountains case study

The paper deals with the concept of sustainable tourism in mountainous, rural areas of Serbia and its economic indicators, i.e., the impact of economic indicators of sustainability on the local community, to point out the potential directions of tourism development. The research was conducted in selected rural areas of Zlatibor, Kopaonik, Stara Planina, and Fruška Gora. Respondents expressed their opinions on the issue of sustainable tourism development, how sustainable tourism has contributed to the local community and the local population, which elements of sustainability have been fulfilled, and in what way. It was concluded that residents of rural mountain destinations believe that truism directly and positively affects the sustainable development of rural destinations. Development indicators such as Income, Standard of living, employment possibility, Tourism, Investments, Women's entrepreneurship, and women empowerment, have shown a significant increase from the tourism development. Thus confirming the initial hypothesis H that the economic indicators of sustainable tourism development provide a better quality of life for local communities.

Digital divide of regions (by example of the Russian Federation)

The reduction of intranational differences is the topical issue of modern states sustainable development. One of the conditions for its reduction is to provide equal access of different categories of population to information, resources and services, to the informational and communicational technologies usage. This article raises the problem of the specific social group`s digital divide. And it`s associated with the residence of its representatives in different territories. The object of the study is student youth. The digital divide has been studied through the practices of Internet usage by the younger generation of eight federal districts of the Russian Federation. There have been identified common trends for all districts young people. It is shown that territorial differentiation of online practices is manifested by the purposes of accessing them, the degree of technological solutions use and the preferences of social media. Data analysis about the specifics of Internet use among young people from different federal districts made it possible to combine such territories into three groups. Students from the first group are characterized by the highest involvement in online practices. They are more actively resorting to information and communication technologies and more present on social networks and use IT innovations. The online practices among young people from the second type districts are characterized by unevenness. In some cases students demonstrate high involvement in it (for example, when they are using information and communication technologies in the moment of job research, using cloud file storage services), in others cases it is low due to a weaker presence in some social media. Students from federal districts of the third type are characterized by the lowest involvement in the most part of online practices. The results of the study could be useful in the digital divide monitoring and in the developing government measures to reduce it.

О ПОТЕНЦИАЛЕ РАЗВИТИЯ ВИЭ В РЕСПУБЛИКЕ КАЗАХСТАН

Recently, the issue of sustainable economic development is tightly connected with the theme of “green transition” and reducing the carbon footprint. Kazakhstan, as one of the key states of Central Asia, has also not abandoned the idea of decarbonization and the transition to renewable energy sources. The potential of renewable energy in Kazakhstan is significant compared to the global level. Nevertheless, its full implementation contradicts economic expediency and, taking into account the requirements of energy security, is not the most effective solution to achieve the goals of carbon neutrality of the Republic.
