Following the failure to achieve Millennium Development Goals by most countries in the world, Sustainable Development Goals are now at the center of developmental issues. Consequently, this study aims to examine if tourism can be an ally to sustainable development in MINT (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey) countries between 1995 and 2018. The study uses adjusted net saving and international tourism receipts in these countries as measures of sustainable development and tourism, respectively. In achieving its objectives, the study employs the augmented mean group (AMG) estimation technique to estimate the long-run parameters. Besides, mean group (MG) and common correlated effects MG techniques are employed to check the robustness of the estimates obtained via the AMG approach. The results from the three estimators show that tourism is indeed an ally to sustainable development in MINT countries since there is a significant positive relationship between tourism and sustainable development. In other words, tourism can put the MINT countries on the path to sustainable development. This implies that any policy that will enhance the performance of the tourism industry will ensure sustainable development in MINT countries. Thus, the governments of MINT countries should focus basically on achieving sustainable tourism development, as this will translate to sustainable development in their countries.

Summary It is an urgent task to advance Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on different scales in the world. We propose a systems approach to combat this issue, namely `classification–coordination–collaboration'. This approach allows SDGs to realize key breakthroughs over the short-term while achieving sweeping progress over the long run.

Non-technical abstract The world agreed to achieve 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Nine planetary boundaries set an upper limit to Earth system impacts of human activity in the long run. Conventional efforts to achieve the 14 socio-economic goals will raise pressure on planetary boundaries, moving the world away from the three environmental SDGs. We have created a simple model, Earth3, to measure how much environmental damage follows from achievement of the 14 socio-economic goals, and we propose an index to track effects on people's wellbeing. Extraordinary efforts will be needed to achieve all SDGs within planetary boundaries.

<p>The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a blueprint for the world’s sustainable development plan throughout 2016 and 2030. It is regrettable that recent reports have shown that it will not be possible to achieve all the goals by 2030 under our current pace. To accelerate SDG implementation, scientists have conducted studies under a variety of perspectives, such as relationships among SDGs, their specific priorities, and necessary transformations. However, there still lacks a systematic approach to promote joint action by countries that can advance SDGs on regional, national, and global scales. To fill this gap, we summarize the relevant articles, reports, and practices in recent years on the ways to promote the implementation of the SDGs. Following this, we propose a systematic approach to combat this issue, namely, “classification–coordination–collaboration”. This approach not only considers relationships among the 17 SDGs and the links among the different management agencies, but it also contains the necessary means to accelerate SDGs. Overall, this approach is expected to promote the participation of countries within the process of global governance, and it will help to ensure that SDGs will realize key breakthroughs over the short-term while achieving sweeping progress over the long run.</p>

Tourism industry has become one of the principal sources of economic growth and a viable platform of employment both in Africa and globally. Considering that economic growth and job creation are the focal points of sustainable development goals (SDGs), this study is focused on investigating the relationship they have with tourism in Nigeria. A gross domestic product (GDP) time series dataset is utilized to represent economic growth variable while, statistical data obtained from the WTTC is employed to denote Tourism revenues and arrivals in Nigeria. The study employed Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds test of cointegration, the Error Correction model and Granger causality tests to empirically examine the impacts tourism has on economic growth and employment in the LACKET states of Nigeria for the period between 1999 to 2019. Generally, the investigations indicate that both in the short - and long - run, tourism is positively related to economic growth and employment rate in Nigeria. However, regarding short -run relationship, a lower positive link of tourism revenue is recorded.

The United Nations unveiled a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in September 2015, with 169 targets and a little over 230 indicators. This was a sequel to the Millennium Development Goals whose remit ended in 2015. Challenges lie ahead for governments around the world – national, provincial and municipal – to adapt the targets and indicators to effect a meaningful transition towards sustainable development by 2030. Cities are where the battle for sustainable development will be won or lost – they contribute 80% of the global GDP, and account for 70% each of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. With over two-thirds of the global population likely to live in cities by 2060, this is more than a cliché. A clutch of sustainable cities makes a sustainable province; a clutch of sustainable provinces makes a sustainable country, and it follows that several sustainable countries learning and sharing and helping other countries, will make for a sustainable world in the 21st century and further on into the future. While moving forward, trade-offs and complementarities must not be forgotten. Often, there are serendipitous benefits when complementarities which exist are not factored in, but the trade-offs if forgotten may end up robbing Peter to pay Paul. Despite the interregnum brought about by the Corona Virus pandemic in 2020, the world will be getting up, dusting itself clean and moving ahead in the next decade towards the SDGs set for year-2030.

Eco-tourism is generally defined as the type of tourism that involves visiting a natural environment without interfering with its habitat. The tourism industry is a multibillion-dollar industry that continues to expand and evolve around the world, however, to achieve sustainable growth, it requires a shift in planning and as a result, more focus on eco-tourism. When thinking of tourism, one thinks of a certain group of people visiting a particular destination for sightseeing, holiday vacations, and to have a good time; while that could be true, tourism touches on more than that. The tourism sector, besides just the gratification and exchange of culture, also involves environmental aspects, social aspects, and sustainability. As the world strives to achieve long-term growth targets in the sustainable development goals, eco-tourism continues to receive much attention. Eco tourism has been related to programs for sustainable development in protected areas, community-based conservation organizations, and in many aspects aimed at achieving sustainable development goals on environmental and habitat protection. In order to sustainably improve the eco-tourism sector, there is a need for continuous education, a supportive policy environment, and more research on the sector

The world is a complex and at times mystifying place. Sense and reason struggle for visibility among national terms of reference constructed around an individual nation’s needs, pride and (in some cases) survival. Embedded among these ‘instincts’ lurk the more menacing forces of power, influence and control. It is from such hybrid climates that the globally facing Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the succeeding Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emerged.

Este artigo analisa como o Brasil e o mundo avançaram na última década em relação ao percentual de domicílios com acesso a banheiros e também em relação ao fim da defecação a céu aberto. Aponta que estes progressos se devem em grande parte à pressão exercida por iniciativas mundiais, como os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento do Milênio e os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável. Embora se reconheça a melhoria dos indicadores no território nacional, interessa verificar se esse avanço se deu de modo que respeitasse a equidade pretendida pelas políticas de saúde e de saneamento. Utiliza dados dos últimos dois censos, considerando o ano a partir do qual a universalização de acesso a banheiros e o fim da defecação a céu aberto ocorrerá no Brasil. Com apoio de mapas temáticos, conclui que foi possível identificar que o fim da defecação a céu aberto e do acesso universal a banheiros não se darão de forma uniforme no território. Palavras-chave: Defecação a céu aberto, Banheiros, Equidade, Saneamento.HEALTH WITHOUT TOILETS?: open defecation and access to toilets evolution in Brazil. Abstract: This article analyzes that Brazil and the world advanced over the last decade in relation to the percentage of households with access to toilets and also towards the end of open defecation. These progresses are in large part due to pressure from global initiatives such as the Millennium Development Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals. Although Brazil improved its situation, it is important to verify whether this advance occurred in a way that respects the equity sought by health and sanitation policies. By using data from the last two censuses, the year from which the universalization of access to toilets and the year from which there will be no open defecation in Brazil were estimated. With the support of thematic maps, it was possible to identify that the end of open defecation and the universalization of access to toilets will not take place in an equitable manner in the Brazilian territory. Key words: Open defecation, Toilets, Equity, Sanitation.

<p>As the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) ended, the United Nations followed them up with 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One of the goals, Life Below Water, is very strategic to Indonesia given its position as the biggest maritime archipelagic nation in the world. However, Indonesia’s life below water faces threats as pollutants from human activities end up in the sea. Using Structural Human Ecology (SHE) theory, this article discusses the issue using cases in Jakarta and Bali and how the two provinces have dealt with the problem. Employing the qualitative method through document analyses, this study found that the two provinces have used different approaches in solving the problem. While Jakarta has its law regarding the issue, Bali has more progressive law in curbing the disposal of waste, especially plastic, to the river leading to the sea. Law enforcement and education have become the keys to ensuring that industrial and domestic actors to stop irresponsible disposal of waste.</p>
