The purpose of this article is to check Russia’s strategic planning system and anti-crisis measures against the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by monitoring the documents for policy objectives directly or indirectly corresponding to the targets of the sustainable development goals (SDG); comparing the indicators present in the Russian documents with those in the 2030 Agenda; assessing the impact of anti-crisis measures on the sustainable development outlook in the country; and tracing the changes present in the latest socio-economic development initiatives of the Russian government. The scope of the study in terms of the number of documents analyzed was determined in accordance with the provisions of Article 11 of the Federal Law No. 172-FZ On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation, and includes a vast array of federal strategies, sectoral strategic planning documents, national and federal projects, state programmes, the 2020 Presidential Decree No. 474 On the National Development Goals of the Russian Federation for the Period Until 2030 and its auxiliary documents, as well as other ad hoc anti-crisis planning instruments, such as the 2020 Nationwide Action Plan. The results of the analysis make it possible to trace the paradigm shift in Russia’s decision-making toward incorporating more elements of the sustainability discourse characteristic of the 2030 Agenda and other multilateral arrangements, particularly in regard to climate change and environment, taking place in 2020–21.

This study analyses the impact of Spanish financial institutions’ risk profile on their contribution to the 2030 Agenda. Financial institutions play a significant role in ensuring financial inclusion and sustainable economic growth and usually incorporate environmental and social considerations into their risk management systems. The results show that financial institutions with less capital risk, with lower management efficiency and with higher market risk usually make higher contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), according to their sustainability reports. The novel aspect of the present study is that it identifies the risk profile of financial institutions that incorporate sustainability into their business operations and measure the impact generated in the environment and in society. The study findings have important implications for shareholders, investors and analysts, according to the view that sustainability reporting is a vehicle that financial institutions use to express their commitment to the 2030 Agenda and to higher quality corporate reporting.

Strategic planning is one of the key mechanisms for ensuring purposeful and sustainable development of the state, economy and society. With the adoption of Federal Law No. 172-FZ of 28.06.2014 “On Strategic Planning in the Russian Federation”, a new stage in the formation of the state strategic planning system has begun in the Russian Federation. The article examines the shortcomings of the current legislative regulation in the Russian Federation on the issues of control over the implementation of strategic planning documents, as well as responsibility for their improper execution. It is noted that the provisions of the current legislation on control and responsibility in the field of strategic planning are insufficient for the full implementation of the mechanisms of state strategic planning. The author substantiates the need to establish a unified procedure for monitoring and monitoring the implementation of strategic planning documents, as well as the introduction of special norms into the current legislation that provide for liability for offenses committed in this area.

Water resources are an integral part of energy, industry, food and human life. Water efficiency is given a special place in the area of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) promoted by the United Nations (UN). Water is used everywhere in everyday life and in the manufacture of products, which leads to the depletion of the water potential of a country or an entire continent. Currently, companies are actively introducing new standards for water use, keeping records of water consumption, applying innovative technologies to provide water desalination and wastewater treatment. There is a shortage of drinking water in the world, especially in overpopulated countries and the southern regions of the planet. No state can solve water use issues on its own. Currently, countries are focusing on developing technologies for desalination and wastewater treatment plants. These industries are science-intensive, innovative and require raw materials, financial resources and policy favors from the states. On the territory of the Sverdlovsk region of the Russian Federation, all known types of common minerals were found, and a special economic zone the “Titanium Valley” also operates on this territory.


The paper discusses the impact of the competition level on the sustainable development of a regional market in order to manage competitive and industrial policies. The authors proposed to calculate the impact of the competition level on the economic affordability of food products to the population according to the Herfindahl-Hirschman index. For this purpose, the paper determines the correlation coefficients between the Herfindahl-Hirschman index and indicators affecting the economic availability of milk for the population of the Russian Federation. According to the data for 2010-2016, the market of milk and dairy products of the region of the Russian Federation (by the example of the Republic of Tatarstan) was analyzed. On the basis of the approach proposed, a regression model was obtained depending on the level of competition on the share of population expenditures on milk and dairy products. The proposed tool can be applied in any territory, what determines its universality.

The article analyzes the correspondence between the national development goals of the Russian Federation and the UN sustainable development goals in the field of ensuring the quality and accessibility of education. It has been substantiated that the implementation of sustainable development goals in Russia is of great importance for activities to achieve the country’s national goals and development priorities. A comparative analysis of the education system in Russia as a source and factor of socio-economic development and improving the population’s quality of life is carried out. An analysis of the comparison between SDG 4 and the national project “Education” led to the following conclusion: the consistency of national policy measures with plans to achieve SDG 4 depends, first of all, on political priorities and national interests of the country and requires intersectoral coordination in planning and monitoring the implementation of targeted activities. Analysis of the compliance of the development goals of Russia within the framework of the implementation of the national projects “Labor productivity and employment support” and “Small and medium-sized entrepreneurship and support of individual entrepreneurial initiative” and SDG 8 showed the importance of institutional and financial instruments, the active use of which in the Russian economy is facilitated by the significant changes in legislation. The problem of mismatch of indicators of the studied documents is determined. For these are no statistical data in the framework of the implementation of sustainable development goals. It is concluded that the national development goals of the Russian Federation in the field of ensuring the quality and accessibility of education are generally consistent with the UN sustainable development goals.

The National Development Goals of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030, defined by the decree of the President (2020), corresponding to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which were adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015. The Russian Federation conducts systematic work to implement SDG, including Goal 4, “Quality education”. The article presents a brief outline of the history of the created in 1970 Scientific Council on environmental education of the Russian Academy of Education (previously it was called Problem Council on informal environmental education of the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of the USSR), the main directions of its activities and contribution to the SDG through the development of scientific and methodological support of environmental education (in contemporary wording, of the environmental education for sustainable development). With the participation of members of the Scientific Council, federal and regional textbooks on sustainable development for secondary and higher schools were published, and several monographs and dissertations were prepared. Issues of environmental protection and sustainable development are included in federal state educational standards. The Concept of general environmental education for sustainable development is prepared. The Interregional network partnership “Learning to live sustainably in a global world” is functioning. Currently, designing of the national set of SDG 4 indicators, and, particularly, an indicator 4.7.1 related to training in sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, is on the way.
