In accordance with the Russian Federation consistent transition to sustainable development, which material basis consists in not so much quantitative but rather qualitative transformations in the factors of real economy production, the authors hereby focus on the regional aspect of territorial entity environments affecting favorably the investment attractiveness of industrial enterprises. Special attention is paid to the fact that following the sustainable development paradigm implies a balanced solution of economic, social and environmental problems. The conceptual considerations presented are taken as the basis for an original universal method to diagnose and assess restrictions, threats, and challenges of an economic, administrative and legal, resource and technical, social and environmental nature that occur at the regional level and affect the investment attractiveness of enterprises. In practice, the approach considers the diagnostics possibility to develop, firstly, specific measures to offset or reduce the negative impacts determining the investment attractiveness of regional investment objects and, secondly, motivational and stimulating measures to resolve the conflicts arising due to environmental and social restrictions on economic activity in order to ensure, as we move towards sustainable development, a balanced solution to three tasks: ensuring economic growth, achieving social progress, and improving the quality of the environment.

Governance Arrangements

The growth of global governance—in terms of the proliferation of rules, laws, and institutional forms as well as their interactions—is an increasingly debated issue. Scholars are raising concerns about some of its negative impacts, but they are divided on the extent of these impacts and on the needed solutions. While some question the viability of international institutions and argue for embracing complexity, others see current growth concerns as a call for more order and a turn to constitutionalism. This article argues for a turn to sustainable development instead. This approach addresses the system’s underlying problem: its unsustainable development, which threatens to produce more rather than better governance arrangements and to enhance existing participation inequalities. The article uses the sustainable development paradigm to envision how to prevent rather than respond to growth concerns, and to integrate equity considerations into institutional strategies. A discussion of reducing, reusing, and recycling international institutions illustrates how to implement this approach and suggests areas for future research.

Development Paradigm

At present, the issue ecological balance restoring and rational resource con-sumption is especially acute, which determines large-scale transformations at the world level, as well as the need to modernize the tools for socio-economic develop-ment systems of countries (macro-level), individual territories and regions (meso-level), a set of interacting economic systems and economic units (microlevels). The article examines the problems of responsible resource consumption in regional socioeconomic systems, which led to change of effective growth paradigm to: 1) the sustainable development paradigm, society’s informatization; 2) selective regional policy of interregional differentiation. Obviously, at the macro-level, there is an intensive search for effective management of regional resource consumption; development of mechanisms and tools for environmental responsibility management. That is why a decrease in the level of negative impacts, as well as the consequences of low socio-economic development, determines the genesis of responsible resource consumption tools in regions’ strategizing as a key development task. However, the study of the ontology “responsible resource consumption tools” goes through the concept of sustainable development and is transformed into an integral, logically linked system of views, united by a common idea and aimed at achieving the goal of work.

The new evolution of the production and industrial process called Industry 4.0, and its related technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data analytics, and cyber–physical systems, among others, still have an unknown potential impact on sustainability and the environment. In this paper, we conduct a literature-based analysis to discuss the sustainability impact and challenges of Industry 4.0 from four different scenarios: deployment, operation and technologies, integration and compliance with the sustainable development goals, and long-run scenarios. From these scenarios, our analysis resulted in positive or negative impacts related to the basic production inputs and outputs flows: raw material, energy and information consumption and product and waste disposal. As the main results, we identified both positive and negative expected impacts, with some predominance of positives that can be considered positive secondary effects derived from Industry 4.0 activities. However, only through integrating Industry 4.0 with the sustainable development goals in an eco-innovation platform, can it really ensure environmental performance. It is expected that this work can contribute to helping stakeholders, practitioners and governments to advance solutions to deal with the outcomes emerging through the massive adoption of those technologies, as well as supporting the expected positive impacts through policies and financial initiatives.

Reasons why water storage reservoirs are necessary in accordance with the sustainable development strategy are described in the paper. The main positive and negative impacts of reservoirs on the environment are analyzed. The most important are: the improvement of hydrological regimes (decreasing maximal and increasing minimal flows), the creation of optimal water management, utilization and protection of water, and the creation of better conditions for river and coastal ecosystems. Negative impacts and measures for its mitigation or elimination are also analyzed. The conclusion is that water storage reservoirs can be harmoniously incorporated into the environment. Serbia has a limited number of locations suitable for the construction of reservoirs, therefore it is necessary to retain these areas for storage in regional development plans and other legal acts.

The purpose of the article is to consider the theoretical foundations, applied aspects, concepts and goals of sustainable development, as well as the study of factors and threats to the sustainable development of Pridnestrovie. Main material. The authors conducted a brief analysis of the main stages of introducing the conceptual apparatus used to assess the degree of world stability as a whole, regions and countries. Various approaches to defining the essence of sustainable development are considered. The author gives an extended interpretation of the "sustainable development" concept, which assumes that it is determined not only by environmental and economic aspects, but also has political, military, informational and other components. Groups and particular examples of indicators that characterize the degree of sustainable development are given. A list of factors that directly or indirectly affect the sustainability of countries and regions has been compiled and analyzed. Hierarchical levels of research on sustainable development issues are highlighted. Emphasis is placed on the study of the features of ensuring sustainable development of regions. Didactic aspects of studying the problems and mechanisms of ensuring sustainable development in educational institutions of different hierarchical levels are also considered. The applied aspects reflected in the article include assessment and analysis of a number of indicators reflecting development sustainability of the Transnistrian region of post-Soviet Moldova. Retrospective, modern and long-term threats to the sustainable development of the Transnistrian region are identified. Conclusions and further research. Some tools (measures) to ensure long-term sustainable development in the context of globalization and high turbulence of the international environment are proposed. Tools aimed at increasing the sustainability of the territorial units’ development of Pridnestrovie, the following are proposed: - diversification and growth of industrialization of economic systems; - preferential support for the development of high-tech material and energy-saving industries; - differentiation minimization of financial and property stratification of the population; - implementation of environmental standards and environmental management (ISO 14000) in industrial enterprises.

Topicality. The concept of sustainable development synthesizes anthropocentric and biospherecentric principles and provides for optimal use in the economic and non-economic processes of the natural component, aligning the impact of man on nature and the ability of the latter to bear anthropogenic load, which will provide the ability of future generations to satisfy ecological needs. As people and their needs are at the center of socio-economic development, the notion of "sustainable human development" associated with the process of expanding individual choices in various fields is becoming increasingly relevant today: from guaranteeing economic, social and political rights and freedoms to the possibilities of creative self-realization and improvement. Aim and tasks. Despite the extensive study of sustainable development in the domestic and foreign scientific environment, a detailed study of the genesis of the concepts of "sustainable development" and "sustainability", as well as the components of sustainable development, is required. The purpose of the article is to review, systematize and analyze approaches to sustainable development, and compare them, as well as to formulate a paradigm of sustainability from the first appearance of the prerequisites of this concept to the origins and generalization of the genesis of the concept of sustainable development. Research results. Therefore, the result of the study is the formation of the paradigm of sustainability from the first appearance of the preconditions of this concept to the origins and generalization of the genesis of the concept of sustainable development. Thus, the inclusion of only three components in the concept of sustainable development (society, economy, environment) is common practice, but it is not the only correct component. Conclusion. Given the uncertainty in the domestic scientific environment of the system of sustainable development and the lack of complete analysis of approaches to its implementation, it is necessary to review and systematize these approaches, to compare them. This will allow us to understand sustainable development, not as an abstract phenomenon, but as a truly global paradigm for human survival in the third millennium, the transition to which is a translational process.

Urban Watercourse

The anthropogenic impact on urban rivers is very significant. Industrial enterprises, municipal, and agricultural organizations discharge wastewater directly into the rivers. In the samples of the studied water, certain properties were found. The water in the river is cloudy, brown in color, and in some places has a sharp smell. Extraneous impurities and foam were detected in water. Moreover, various chemicals were found, which are not characteristic to natural waters. The analyzed water is highly polluted as shown by the following chemical indicators, which reported results higher than the Maximum Allowable Concentration: Fe concentration is 24 times higher than standard, Cu is 5 times higher, Mn is 6 times higher, Al is 366 times higher, Hg is 3 times higher, Zn is 4 times higher, NO2 is 2.5 times higher, hydrocarbon pollution is 2.8 times higher, NH4 is 1.9 times higher. Therefore, it is necessary to immediately develop effective methods for monitoring the state of the watercourse, both economic and energetic. To save the sustainable development of the natural system.

As rare earth resources are indispensable raw materials for modern society, they have become strategic global reserve resources. Even though China is the world’s largest producer and exporter of rare earth, the industry has low efficiency and severe problems with over-exploitation and environmental pollution; therefore, there needs to be a greater focus on the sustainable exploitation of rare earth resources. This paper establishes an innovative evaluation index system for the sustainable development of China’s rare earth resources from six main aspects; economic development, social progress, environmental protection, technological innovation, rare earth development and utilization, and rare earth protection in which the indicators are assessed using an entropy method. Grey correlation analysis was used to evaluate China’s rare earth sustainable development level from 2006–2016, from which it was found that sustainable development was poor from 2006–2010 and marginally better from 2011–2016. The main factor affecting rare earth sustainable development in China was found to be the lag in the development of environment protection system and rare earth protection system. Policy recommendations for improving China’s rare earth protection, environmental protection, and technological innovation are proposed to guide government regulations and assist rare earth industry personnel.

In 1957, the four lower Mekong River states jointly organized the development of the basin and established a legal regime that has spanned five decades of cooperation. In 1995, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand and Vietnam concluded the Agreement on the Cooperation for the Sustainable Development of the Mekong River Basin and formed the Mekong River Commission, which has been lauded as the most progressive of river institutions and a model for the world. At the core of the 1995 Mekong Agreement is the concept of sustainable development. Guided by this sustainable development paradigm, the Lower Mekong River Basin states attempt to balance the maintenance of water quantity with protection of water quality, and agree to cooperate and use the Mekong's water resources in a manner in which the river system's environmental conditions and ecological balance are conserved and maintained. However, development of the Mekong and its tributaries has rendered the efficacy of the Mekong legal regime to support holistic water resources management questionable. More than ten years of experience has shown that there are aspects of the 1995 Mekong Agreement that should be strengthened in order to secure the environmental, economic and social benefits that it promises.
