Achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 is a Grand Challenge, especially for business academics who have a responsibility to work with businesses regarding their management and contributions. Two main challenges are examined in the article: the need for academics to work together towards holistic solutions to SDG problems, and the need for stronger engagement to reduce the distance between academics and practitioners/ practice. It then develops a framework that considers the knowledge-generation and application roles business academics face in addressing groups of insiders and outsiders. Finally, the use of the framework is demonstrated via a case study of modern slavery in corporate supply chains. JEL Classification: M14, Q01

Development Goals

In 2015, the leaders of all the UN’s Member States agreed to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and their 169 associated targets address five areas of critical importance: people, planet, prosperity, peace, and partnership. The purpose of this paper is to take the metrics and data provided and transform them into a fuzzy logic setting. This allows for the analysis of the results in SDG Index and Dashboards Report 2019 by using the techniques of fuzzy logic. Many of these 17 Sustainable Development Goals are related to the terrible crime of human trafficking. We also examine these goals in a fuzzy logic setting.

AbstractThis article provides an example of the ways in which remote sensing, Earth observation, and machine learning can be deployed to provide the most up to date quantitative portrait of the South Asian ‘Brick Belt’, with a view to understanding the extent of the prevalence of modern slavery and exploitative labour. This analysis represents the first of its kind in estimating the spatiotemporal patterns in the Bull’s Trench Kilns across the Brick Belt, as well as its connections with various UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With a principal focus on Sustainable Development Goal Target 8.7 regarding the effective measures to end modern slavery by 2030, the article provides additional evidence on the intersections that exist between SDG 8.7 and those relating to urbanisation (SDG 11, 12), environmental degradation and pollution (SDG 3, 14, 15), and climate change (SDG 13). Our findings are then used to make a series of pragmatic suggestions for mitigating the most extreme SDG risks associated with brick production in ways that can improve human lives and human freedom.

Perdagangan manusia telah menjadi salah satu permasalahan yang besar di Asia Tenggara. Oleh karena itu, ASEAN selaku wadah integrasi regional harus melakukan segala upaya untuk memberantas, menangani, dan mencegah perdagangan manusia. Tujuan dari paper ini yaitu untuk menjelaskan upaya-upaya yang dilakukan ASEAN untuk menangani isu human trafficking. Konsep human security dan konsep sustainable development goals (SDGs) akan digunakan untuk menggambarkan permasalahan human trafficking dan upaya-upaya ASEAN memberantasnya di Asia Tenggara. Hasil yang didapatkan yakni ASEAN telah melakukan berbagai upaya untuk memberantas human trafficking baik dari berbagai deklarasi, konvensi, dan kebijakan-kebijakan luar negeri masing-masing negara anggota ASEAN, akan tetapi masih belum mencapai hasil yang signifikan. Namun, hal ini telah menjadi bukti kepedulian ASEAN terhadap isu keamanan non-tradisional terkhusus human security dan terhadap pembangunan berkelanjutan yang tercantum dalam SDGs.

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 .
