Safety Considerations

Globally, unintentional injuries contribute significantly to disability and death. Prevention efforts have traditionally focused on individual injury mechanisms and their specific risk factors, which has resulted in slow progress in reducing the burden. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent a global agenda for promoting human prosperity while respecting planetary boundaries. While injury prevention is currently only recognised in the SDG agenda via two road safety targets, the relevance of the SDGs for injury prevention is much broader. In this State of the Art Review, we illustrate how unintentional injury prevention efforts can be advanced substantially within a broad range of SDG goals and advocate for the integration of safety considerations across all sectors and stakeholders. This review uncovers injury prevention opportunities within broader global priorities such as urbanisation, population shifts, water safeguarding and corporate social responsibility. We demonstrate the relevance of injury prevention efforts to the SDG agenda beyond the health goal (SDG 3) and the two specific road safety targets (SDG 3.6 and SDG 11.2), highlighting 13 additional SDGs of relevance. We argue that all involved in injury prevention are at a critical juncture where we can continue with the status quo and expect to see more of the same, or mobilise the global community in an ‘Injury Prevention in All Policies’ approach.

Abstract The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) developed by the United Nations in 2015 are global benchmarks for all countries to meet by 2030 to ensure well-being and prosperity while protecting and promoting human rights and freedoms. The underlying pledge is that no one will be left behind Globally, older adults are one of the most vulnerable populations, suffering from poverty and poor health and little social protection. Social workers can play key roles in assuring that the concerns and interests and rights of older adults are recognized in the SDGs and in the policies developed to meet them. This paper focuses on 6 of the SDG’s that are most pertinent to the status and inclusion of older people and the implications they have for specific social work involvement.

And Performance

Development must balance social, economic, and environmental sustainability; it is for this reason that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are integrated, in fact, action in one of them will affect outcomes in others. In consequence, research on the SDGs is broad, complex, and fragmented due to the great diversity of disciplines and approaches involved, making it difficult to obtain valuable and unbiased information for future studies. As a result, a comprehensive review of contributions could provide a comprehensive critical perspective. This article applies SciMAT software to analyze the evolution of this field of research through a systematic literature review of bibliographic records on the SDGs and a review based on bibliometric analysis of 10,272 selected records. Additionally, hidden themes and their development in this field from 1990 to 2020 have been identified to produce strategic diagrams, graphs of thematic evolution and performance indicators of the research field in different periods. The results obtained show a constantly evolving scientific field, from its initial focus on the millennium goals to the gradual inclusion of the current SDGs. They provide field experts with a comprehensive overview of the status quo and predict the dynamic directions of future research, serving as a basis for the development of new strategies for the implementation of the SDGs.

The paper identifies and characterizes global trends in the development and introduction of digital technologies for implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the context of digitalization of the economy and society, including the integrated impact of 4.0 industry technologies on the achievement of sustainable development goals, digital technologies as a driver of a new stage of sustainable development and new markets discovery, strengthening the role of international organizations in updating digital development policy. Practical examples of the Sustainable Development Goals implementation have been analysed and the provision has been substantiated that the breakthroughs in the field of digital technologies have already led to wealth creation in an unprecedentedly short time, concentrated, however, in a small number of countries, companies and individuals. The aforesaid indicates the existence of “digital inequality”, which poses serious tasks for the decision-making bodies of states to develop mechanisms for its elimination or reduction. The status of these processes in Ukraine has been identified and the following has been revealed: a number of electronic administrative services for individuals and legal entities and the Unified State Portal of Administrative Services were introduced, a new generation of digital technologies is being introduced into the industry, such as Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data and data analytics, robotics, and 3D printing that open new horizons for innovative products and services development. It has been established that our state is not yet sufficiently transforming the capabilities of modern digital technologies into economic and social benefits (digital dividends): there is no systematic approach to the implementation of the approved measures, no digital competencies are being formed, including for the population, there is a detachment from the SDGs Strategy. The proposals on actualization of these issues and their heading in the direction of processes and formation socialization of the newest model of the international relations environment, in particular in the elaboration of geopolitical values, implementation of the principles of «sustainable development» in the digital transformation of economy and society on the basis of integration and controllability.

It is proved that the institutionalization of family farming in the market environment as an organizational and legal form, in addition to ensuring the growth at the present stage of economic and social standards of rural residents, directly capable of achieving the goals of the Sustainable Development Goals of Ukraine until 2030. Ukraine operates small farms and private farms that, by a set of identification criteria, can change their status by creating a stateless family farm Su legal entity organized independently or jointly with members of his family under the contract (declaration). The study found that modern legal innovations, designed to ensure the implementation of the mechanism of institutionalization of the family economy in a market environment, are characterized by an appropriate level of implementation: legal – arranged, methodically constructed laws and codes, establishing simple and transparent tax rules; the market – the family farmer is still in the "gray" zone of the market, that is, the majority of such entrepreneurs do not belong to the relevant entities of this organizational form; public (informal) - generally established as a motivated type of economic activity; economic – small farms acquire the status of economically viable in the market, but are already recognized by economic entities capable of receiving significant additional income. However, this did not significantly affect the significant positive tendency of their creation and development. This situation is caused, in particular, by the lack of scientific and methodological approaches to ensure their transformation into a market environment of the economy, appropriate mechanisms for their promotion and support. Thanks to the efficiency of solving these problems, it is estimated that by 2030, about 300,000 private farms can be legalized into a market economy mechanism in the status of a family farm, and about 5,000 functioning small farms, which can be defined according to the established family farms criteria of its legal form of management . The analysis of the conducted potential of formation and development of family farms allows confirming that the specified economic unit is capable to provide both economic development of rural territories, growth of well-being of villagers, and achievement of the set goals set by the Sustainable Development Goal of Ukraine for the period until 2030. The study outlines the main directions of ensuring the achievement of the set goals in the context of ensuring the sustainable development of agriculture.

Background: This article presents a methodology to categorize scientific publications according to the targets of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. For the above, a dataset with bibliographic and descriptive attributes of 2,379 articles from 2017 by co-authors affiliated to the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases, was used. Methods: The methodology considered three relevant and consecutive milestones: establishment of the reading level that was applied for each publication record, which considers a proportional amount of information; assignment of one of the 18 categories identified for the analysis of the information, which include the 17 SDGs and the option "unclassified" and one of the 169 subcategories corresponding to the specific goals; and, finally, recording the status of the review process carried out, which allowed control of the progress and quality of the cross-review. Results: The results show that 58.6% of the articles contribute to a primary target, of these 233 contribute to a secondary target; goals 3, 4, 9, and 11 are the most frequent in the process of assigning SDGs. There is an 81% increase in the use of alphanumeric targets when they are assigned as secondary targets. At the same time, cross-checking is shown to be beneficial when allowing the reclassification of 190 articles to some of the targets. Finally, it is established that levels 2 and 3 enabled better classification, given that the contents considered provide more information; however, it is significant that through level 1, 355 articles were categorized as "unclassified". Conclusions: It is concluded that the methodology allows for a conclusive, exhaustive, rigorous, extensive, and varied classification through the different milestones and actions carried out, providing strategic information for decision making and research management in the academy-society relationship.

Development Paradigm

In 2015, the UN adopted the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of universal goals in key areas of action linked to sustainable development. The SDGs address not only highly relevant socioeconomic issues, but also pressing environmental challenges associated with the Anthropocene, such as climate change. The integration of a specific climate goal – SDG 13 – into the SDGs is paramount as climate change is a global and urgent threat compromising the realisation of all the SDGs. However, the SDGs’ focus on issues linked to the current economic growth pattern and development paradigm may prevent them from addressing the climate crisis and the inequalities and injustices associated with it. This paper attempts to establish the extent to which the SDGs promote progress towards achieving climate justice or if, on the contrary, they maintain the status-quo and continue to fuel the climate crisis while leaving millions behind. En 2015, las Naciones Unidas adoptaron la Agenda 2030 y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), un conjunto de objetivos universales en áreas de acción esenciales vinculadas al desarrollo sostenible. Los ODS no sólo abordan cuestiones socioeconómicas de gran relevancia, sino también desafíos ambientales apremiantes asociados al Antropoceno, como el cambio climático. La integración de un objetivo climático específico –SDG 13– en los ODS es primordial ya que el cambio climático es una amenaza global y urgente que compromete la realización de todos los ODS. Sin embargo, el hecho de que los ODS se centren en cuestiones relacionadas con el actual patrón de crecimiento económico y el paradigma de desarrollo podría impedirles enfrentar la crisis climática y las desigualdades e injusticias asociadas con la misma. Este artículo intenta establecer hasta qué punto los ODS promueven el progreso hacia el logro de la justicia climática o si, por el contrario, mantienen el statu quo y siguen alimentando la crisis climática, al tiempo que dejan atrás a millones de personas.
