Abstract Gender equality is front and centre in the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals’ SDG 5. We are yet to understand how electronic commerce can incorporate gender equality considering this aspiration. The article offers a way. It presents a framework for understanding the multiplicity of gender gaps in e-commerce and provides an analysis of key regulatory and policy challenges women face in e-commerce. The article examines the legal-political implications of different approaches to incorporating gender into trade policy and then advances a multi-level approach to incorporating gender-inclusive e-commerce regulation into trade policy. On this basis, the article formulates policy recommendations for how to incorporate gender-inclusive e-commerce regulation into trade policy that works for development.

Education has a key role in attaining sustainable development goals for both of developing and developed countries. Considering “the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development” approved by United Nations, the gap between the real and the intended contribution of education to sustainable development must be assessed. The main aim of the current study is to evaluate the contribution of education to sustainable development and explore efficient mechanisms to maximize that contribution regarding the main pillars of sustainable development. This paper goes beyond a study concentrating exclusively on the role of education in achieving sustainable development goals as it also examines the relation between education and each dimension of sustainable development to conclude related policy recommendations which are exposed to be useful in that regard.

Abstract. Developing and implementing specific programs and interventions that target the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a complex endeavor that benefits from an interdisciplinary perspective. In this article, we describe how psychology and implementation science provide knowledge on (1) developing interventions and adapting existing programs to different contexts, (2) systematically and sustainably implementing interventions at different system levels, and (3) evaluating and monitoring the effectiveness of interventions in producing desired changes. By presenting tangible research examples, we discuss how psychological theories can help define didactic principles for educational interventions, how implementation frameworks may be applied for interventions in health care, and what indicators may be useful for measuring the attainment of gender equality at different system levels. These examples illustrate that including both psychology and implementation science in the interdisciplinary discourse of how to approach the SDGs is essential for achieving sustainable positive change.

Depth Interviews

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals officially come into force upon the signing of 193 countries arranged by the United Nations, and the time duration for achieving the goals is 2030. In view of the goals, this study redefines the process of 6 SDGs: (1) no poverty; (2) zero hunger; (3) quality education; (4) gender equality; (5) peace, justice, and strong institutions; and (6) partnership for the goals. The signing countries are not legally bound to achieve the goals. It comes into force as gentlemen commitment. For the purpose of study, secondary data, bulletin, papers, articles, holy books, and in-depth interviews with some experts based on open-ended questionnaires have been taken. Upon analyzing the study, the authors found that to achieve the SDG competition for good works understanding that work is worship, sharing prosperity in terms of monetary and non-monetary aspects like knowledge with poor and marginal people, truthfulness in education with opportunity for all, building mindset for treating all genders as human, transparency and justice from court as well as social leaders, trust among all stakeholders in enterprise, corporation, society, and state are essentially required. The study has also shown that happiness comes to mind when a person can pay for others. These will also be supportive for achieving all other SDGs.
