Points Of View

The global COVID-19 pandemic and an unexpected recession of a dangerous magnitude have provided strong reasons to look at the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from three points of view: the SDGs as a victim of the recession; the SDGs as an opportunity for better coordination on the way out of recession; and the SDGs as an object of modernization for better adaptation to the realities on “the global ground”. The BRICS countries are, naturally, the primary group of interest for developing and implementing the SDGs on the global scale as a way of catching up.“Pandemic protocol” and additional indicators are proposed as an urgent update to several SDGs.

This study investigates the adoption and implementation of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS). The researchers selected 25 top multinational companies and studied the adoption of UN SDGs through its vision and mission statements. Using the content analysis method, this study reveals that although companies in BRICS countries have been trying to adopt defined UN SDGs, important goals are missing. Chinese companies stand first while focusing on sustainable industry innovation and infrastructure, and South African companies’ interest in adopting UN SDGs appears to be very low. Overall, the results depict that important UN SDGs—‘Quality Education’, ‘Climate Action’, and ‘Life Below Water’—are missing from the vision and mission statements of companies in BRICS countries. It is recommended that BRICS countries pay more attention to the UN-defined sustainable development goals. This study is unique in that it provides an analytical method to evaluate the implementation of the sustainable development goals in BRICS countries. Future studies should include more countries, in order to study a broader implementation of the goals.

The concept of human capital through the prism of international economic relations and the problem of achieving sustainable development goals are considered in this paper. The value of HCI in the system of assessing the prospects for the development of human capital at the global level is shown. The characteristics of the relationship between HCI components and sustainable development goals are given. The analysis of the ranking of the countries of the world by the HCI is given. The features of the BRICS countries are revealed: despite the high potential for the development of human capital, it is not always used effectively, which is reflected in the implementation of the program to achieve sustainable development goals. It is shown that in modern conditions, the concept of sustainable development of human capital is of decisive methodological importance. It is based on the need to maintain a balance of various spheres of human life, reflecting, in fact, the quality of his life. The COVID-19 pandemic has strengthened the importance of anchoring the principles of this concept at the global level.

The global COVID-19 pandemic and an unexpected recession of dangerous proportions have provided strong reasons to look at the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from three perspectives: The SDGs as a victim of the 2020 recession; the SDGs as an opportunity for better coordination on the way out of the recession; and the SDGs as an object of modernization for better adaptation to the realities "on the world stage". The BRICS countries are interested in developing and implementing the SDGs on a global scale as a way to catch up. The authors propose a "pandemic protocol", as well as a change in the methodology for including indicators in the SDGs: the introduction of new indicators that are important for sustainability and the incorporation of cross-cutting key indicators for the SDGs, both new and existing.

Does agriculture contribute to Sustainable Development Goals in the BRICS countries? This question remains one of the unanswered questions in the academic arena. Thus, an examination of this question is crucial. Accordingly, the objectives of the study are twofold. The first objective was to examine the contribution of agriculture on economic growth in the BRICS bloc. The second objective was to investigate the contribution of agriculture on income inequality. The study employed Pooled Mean Group over a period 1995-2018 and found that agriculture production contributes to economic growth and reduces income inequality in the BRICS countries. All the variables met the expected priori and the study confirmed that all the disequilibrium in the shortrun could be corrected in the long-run. Therefore, the BRICS government should strengthen the agricultural sector since it is one of its strongholds sector.

Achieving quality nutrition, food security, ending hunger, combating climate change and other challenges facing the world. These problems can be solved by building a sustainable food pattern. The aim of the article was to assess food patterns in accordance with sustainable development goals (2,3,12): the level of energy consumption and the structure of consumption (WHO recommendations gap), sustainable pattern gap, the share of imported food, the amount of harmful emissions. From the results obtained, the BRICS countries have not yet reached the goals of sustainability in the food system and require measures to change the food pattern: development of local farming, reducing the consumption of ultra-processed products, increasing organic products, reducing poverty and unemployment in the country, reducing the consumption of products that polluted the environment, reducing food waste and losses, buying rational quantities of products for eliminated the risk of product spoilage. These changes will help move towards sustainable food consumption.

Abstract. Economic changes in the context of globalization have left adolescents from Latin American contexts with few opportunities to make satisfactory transitions into adulthood. Recent studies indicate that there is a protracted period between the end of schooling and entering into formal working activities. While in this “limbo,” illicit activities, such as drug trafficking may emerge as an alternative for young people to ensure their social participation. This article aims to deepen the understanding of Brazilian youth’s involvement in drug trafficking and its intersection with their schooling, work, and aspirations, connecting with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 and 16 as proposed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations in 2015 .
