The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development stipulates the need for economical use of natural resources and the introduction of green technologies to ensure the harmonious reconciliation of economic, social, and environmental development. However, the problems associated with the definition of the country’s sustainable development in conditions of global threats are far from being solved and require further theoretical efforts. So,the purpose of the article is to form a methodological approach to define the country’s sustainable development in conditions of global threats. The methods used in this study are the comparative and statistical analysis , the systematic approach – in creating the mechanism of ensuring the sustainable development of the world in conditions of global challenges. The analysis results show that the methodological approach allows assessing the country’s sustainable development considering global threats, which, in turn, policy adjustments to strengthen sustainable development in global crises. This study concludes that globalization’s process causes various changes; the positive or negative vector of these changes largely depends on the level of sustainable development of the country and the country’s position in the world economy. The higher the country’s sustainable development indicators, the more positive effects of globalization the state receives.

Bounce Back

Many societies in the world live with different types of risks and the threat of disasters has always presented a major challenge to devise ways to achieve sustainable development by reducing patterns of vulnerability. Disaster reduction is therefore crucial and must have a place in national policies in order to create favourable conditions for effective and efficient hazard mitigation at various levels. This can help in increasing the resilience among communities at risk by enabling them to withstand shocks, cope with emergencies as they bounce back from the impact and adapt in new ways to cope with future threats. The aim of this paper is to explore the concept of resilience in general and what this means before, during, and after disaster impact. Case studies are cited to indicate how resilience operates or fails to occur and why. The study defines how resilience can be developed to create sustainable systems and structures that focus on robustness, redundancy, resourcefulness and rapidity.

Key Aspects

We present this brief reflection on key aspects of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the implications of the worldwide focus on achieving the sustainable development goals as external observers of the evaluation endeavor around the world. We have conducted and participated in evaluations, but it is not our primary field of work and we are not engaged in the global community of evaluation specialists. However, we believe that the urgency of the challenges confronting the world today should inspire those influencing and shaping evaluation internationally to focus much more fiercely on the value of evaluation and its implications for leadership at all levels and in all fields of work. We propose that evaluation as practice should support and help inspire, value, and evaluate the type of leadership that the world needs now—dynamic and purposeful “living systems” leaders working toward large-scale, drastic change.

Subject Outlook for Sustainable Development Goals. Significance In September 2015, the ‘2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’ was adopted by 193 UN member states, outlining 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with separate 169 targets. Three years on, no country is on track to achieve all SDGs by 2030. Impacts The World Bank’s ‘cascade approach’ of advancing SDGs through a mix of private solutions and public financing has yet to bear fruit. Bringing displaced populations into the SDG framework is a growing challenge. Climate action will remain one of the most politically divisive SDGs.

AbstractThe adoption of the 2030 Agenda was only the end of the beginning. To realise the goals, the challenge that lies ahead—prompted by its universal nature—is to implement the agenda’s rapid diffusion into national policies and reforms needed all over the world. This is no easy task. The historical legacies of global normative agreements have taught us that global norms rarely bring about the forms of change that we expect them to. How can we explain these apparent challenges of spreading global norms across the world? We argue that the diffusion of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals is not only challenged because of contemporary political circumstances, but also because of the fundamental situated nature of how actors engage with global norms.

Purpose. This article proposes to reflect on how universities are committed to gender equality. Methodology. After a theoretical reflection that introduces the current reality of universities and the framework of academic capitalism that surrounds them, I investigate the global university rankings (GURs), specifically The High Education (THE) World University Rankings. Results and Discussion. The analysis of the rankings shows us the need to rethink how, in the current reality of university practices imposed by academic capitalism, we can carry out the university equality policies that laws and regulations impose on academia. Conclusion. As a conclusion and contribution, I point out the urgency of a new conception, which puts the commitments of sustainable development and the 2030 Agenda at the center and adjusts the standards and methodologies to these objectives, and not vice versa, the objectives to the methodologies.

The implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which have been set according to the Peraturan Presiden No. 59 tahun 2017 about The Implementation of SDGs to achieve the purpose of SDGs in Indonesia. Through the implementation of universal, integrated, and inclusive principles of 2030 Agenda for SDGs, a new dawn of development that changes the direction of itself, that enveloping human rights and equality in social, economy, and environment, could be accomplished. UNPAD understand, as a seat of learning and to give real contribution, both in the community and national development, by adopting transformative education paradigm, which seek more activities in university level for better community through the idea of sustainability and sustainable development, and its written as Principle Scientific Pattern of Universitas Padjadjaran: bina mulia hukum dan lingkungan hidup dalam pembangunan nasional. Our research was started to perform through multi and transdiscipline-based with all stakeholder involved such as local government, industry side and community. The study areas were focused on most West Java and Banten where region related with industry. Researches were divided into 4 stages, start from study until monitoring stage. As appreciation, Universitas Padjadjaran reached Indonesia Green Award (2013, 2014) and Green World Awards (2017). What’s Unpad researcher has done is a step in engagement to ensure the availability and management of sustainable water and sanitation in accordance once of SDGs in the environmental sector life.

At the UN Summit in New York 2015 it was agreed that a sustainable development of the planet is essential to strengthen universal peace in a broader capacity. On that basis, a call was made to all nations to achieve this through the 2030 Agenda. The issue is a complex one, as is evident from its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their interwoven interaction. Engineering plays a leading role in achieving the great majority of the SDGs. For this reason, engineering education should focus its efforts on training engineers to be active agents of sustainability in the world. Our research question is, in fact, how the engineering higher education institutions around the world are deploying the 2030 Agenda. To answer it, we carried out a systematic review of the literature regarding SDGs and engineering schools in the Scopus and Web of Science (WOS) databases. We applied PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) methodology and, as a result, 22 papers were thoroughly studied. The results showed a consensus on the need for collaboration among the different stakeholders to achieve the desired degree profile of responsible engineers. Proposals to ensure this are diverse. They range from changes in curricula and competencies to a variety of teaching–learning strategies. Finally, future lines of research are identified from this study.
