Abstract A central challenge for sustainable development (SD) is how societies are to avoid, minimize or address impacts from anthropogenic climate change. However, competing perspective on “what should be sustained” lead to widely different understandings of what mitigation, adaptation and loss and damage entail and how best to approach them. We provide a novel conceptual and empirical comparison of two contrasting SD-based theoretical approaches to the study of impacts from climate-related extreme events: Capital Theory and Human Development. We use our analysis of immediate residential property value and housing capacity impacts caused by Hurricane Michael in Gulf County, Florida, to demonstrate how the theory used to assess and interpret impacts greatly affects the identification of whom and where is considered to be objectively “most impacted”. From our comparative analysis and discussion, we conclude that, while currently underutilized, Human Development is the more advanced approach to SD oriented climate-impact research and policy when compared to Capital Theory.

AbstractA central challenge for sustainable development is how societies are to avoid, minimize or address impacts from anthropogenic climate change. However, competing perspectives on “what should be sustained” lead to widely different understandings of what mitigation, adaptation and loss and damage entail and how best to approach them. We provide a novel conceptual and empirical comparison of two contrasting sustainable development-based approaches to the study of impacts from climate-related extreme events: Capital Theory and capability-based Human Development. We use our analysis of immediate residential property value and housing capacity impacts caused by Hurricane Michael in Gulf County, Florida, to demonstrate how the sustainable development theory used to assess and interpret impacts greatly affects the identification of whom and where is objectively “most impacted.” Through a comparison of the two approaches, we identify relative advantages and disadvantages, emphasizing that while both provide coherent, comprehensive, and integrative approaches to climate-related impact assessment, the capability approach is much less likely to lead researchers and practitioners to overlook the most disadvantaged communities when compared to Capital Theory.

AbstractLoss and damage from climate change, recognized as a unique research and policy domain through the Warsaw International Mechanism (WIM) in 2013, has drawn increasing attention among climate scientists and policy makers. Labelled by some as the “third pillar” of the international climate regime—along with mitigation and adaptation—it has been suggested that loss and damage has the potential to catalyze important synergies with other international agendas, particularly sustainable development. However, the specific approaches to sustainable development that inform loss and damage research and how these approaches influence research outcomes and policy recommendations remain largely unexplored. We offer a systematic analysis of the assumptions of sustainable development that underpins loss and damage scholarship through a comprehensive review of peer-reviewed research on loss and damage. We demonstrate that the use of specific metrics, decision criteria, and policy prescriptions by loss and damage researchers and practitioners implies an unwitting adherence to different underlying theories of sustainable development, which in turn impact how loss and damage is conceptualized and applied. In addition to research and policy implications, our review suggests that assumptions about the aims of sustainable development determine how loss and damage is conceptualized, measured, and governed, and the human development approach currently represents the most advanced perspective on sustainable development and thus loss and damage. This review supports sustainable development as a coherent, comprehensive, and integrative framework for guiding further conceptual and empirical development of loss and damage scholarship.

The scientific and methodological approach to the evaluation and analysis of the efficiency of system management by innovation factors for sustainable development of national economy from the point of view satisfaction vital interest’s population is developed. This is the calculation of the modernized index human development based on the adjective model based on 26 indicators (social, economic and environmental subsystems), as well as using the methods of the main components and the slip matrix. The resultant value is the modernized Human Development Index (MHDІ) of Ukraine. The architectonics MHDІ of Ukraine in 2007–2017 from the position of sub-indices of the ecological, social and economic subsystems is analyzed. Consequently, the scientific and methodological approach based on the MHDI change allows us to draw conclusions regarding the effectiveness of the work and public administration bodies in the context of making managerial decisions regarding the satisfaction of the vital interest’s population. MHDI considers the main regulated parameter of the system management in the innovation factors of sustainable development in socially oriented economy. The tendency of steady decline MHDI of Ukraine in 2007–2017 on 53.45 % was confirmed, which confirms inefficient state regulation of crisis situations in Ukraine. In order to increase the efficiency management of innovative factors by sustainable development of the national economy, from the standpoint of satisfaction vital interest’s population, it is proposed to intensify the use of public debt and savings bonds, market and non-market methods of relief and debt load. This is due to the fact that at the current stage of development in the national economy, public external debt is one of the most significant indicators of the state economy. It is at the same time a criterion for the effectiveness of public financial policy, as well as a threat and opportunity for the Ukrainian economy. In order to optimize its size, various methods, approaches, tools are used. Based on the analysis of world experience, it has been established that the securities market, in particular debt securities, plays a strategic role in regulating this issue. Therefore, it makes sense to recommend government debt bonds and government savings bonds to optimize the amount of external public debt.

الملخص تعد التنمية الاقتصادية ذات أهمية كبيرة حيث حظيت بالإهتمام من قبل الدارسين والباحثين والاقتصاديين داخل الدولة منذ عقود، وخصوصاً بعد انتهاء الحرب العالمية الثانية، عندما بدأت الدول التي عانت من هذه الحرب بعمليات إعادة الاعمار، ومن ثم بعد ذلك بدأت تظهر الانواع الاخرى من التنمية، كالتنمية المستدامة والتنمية البشرية، وبدأ الحديث عن التنمية الاجتماعية والسياسية كذلك، وعلى الرغم من ذلك الا ان هناك تحديات كثيرة تقف في طريق التنمية الاقتصادية كالفقر والتخلف، ولا بد من اتباع إستراتيجيات معينة لتحقيق التنمية الاقتصادية وبالتالي تحقيق السلام، حيث ان التنمية والسلام هما ذات علاقة وثيقة ببعضهما، نظرا لان معظم الحروب والنزاعات تنشب لأسباب اقتصادية اما للسيطرة على الموارد او بسبب التوزيع غير العادل لها، ويتناول هذا البحث إستراتيجيات التنمية الاقتصادية المحققة للسلام، مع بيان العلاقة بين السلام والتنمية، والمفاهيم المرتبطة بهما.Summary Economic development has a great importance, it has the First attention by scholars, researchers and economists within the state, especially after the end of the WWII, when the countries that suffered from this war began the reconstruction process, then the other types of Development began to appear, such as sustainable development and human development, and also they began to talk about social and political development. However, many challenges stand in the way of economic development such as poverty and underdevelopment, and certain strategies must be followed to achieve economic development and thus achieve Peace, peace and development are closely interrelated, since most wars and conflicts arise for economic reasons or either for the control of resources or because of unfair distribution of resources. This research deals with the economic development strategies for peace, with explanation of the relationship between peace and development.

The concept of “sustainable development” has been widely used in recent years in legislation andspecial literature. At the same time, a generally accepted definition of this concept has not been developed.The article is devoted to the study of the issues of determining the content of the concept of “sustainabledevelopment”. According to the authors, the need to address this issue is related to the problem of theeffectiveness of legal norms. The article shows the origin and formation of the concept of sustainabledevelopment in international legislation, identifies the system-forming features of sustainable development,analyzes the application and content of the term “sustainable development” in international acts andregulatory legal acts of Russia, notes its intersectoral nature, and considers some theoretical approaches tothe definition of the term “sustainable development”. The authors show the ambiguity of the application of  the concept in question in the domestic legislation. In this regard, the need for the development and legalconsolidation of the term “sustainable development” at the federal level is justified.

O desenvolvimento humano dos países se trata de um tema em destaque que exige ações governamentais para a melhoria da qualidade de vida de seus cidadãos. O problema de dimensionar este desenvolvimento frente às ações de governo determina o objetivo de analisar a existência de correlação entre os indicadores de governança dos países calculados pelo Banco Mundial (WGI) com o índice de desenvolvimento humano calculado pela Organização das nações Unidas (IDH). Para investigar essa hipótese foram efetuadas análises de correlação entre o IDH e as seis dimensões de governança do WGI. Os resultados da pesquisa confirmam a existência de significativa correlação positiva entre o IDH e o WGI, estabelecendo assim o entendimento da complementariedade destes indicadores, e a possibilidade de sua utilização no estabelecimento de ações governamentais.Palavras-chave: Governança dos países.

The problem of urban planning in the context of globalization and the intensification of urban growth is considered in the context of sustainable development. Under UN-Habitat regulations, urban development must be in line with five principles: compactness, high density, mixed use, variety, limited land-use specialization. Compact urban development is a model for sustainable urban development, based on the synergy of three main dimensions: social, economic and environmental. In contrast to the approach to territorial zoning, the compact city model pays attention not only to the development of mixed land use, but also to social needs in places of employment, leisure, recreation, as well as the need for economic resources. In order to identify strategies for designing a sustainable architectural and planning structure, theoretical approaches to the practice of urban planning are investigated. Implementation of the provisions of UN-Habitat is aimed at reducing energy consumption and harmful emissions, preserving biodiversity, reducing the cost of infrastructure and increasing labor productivity, which helps to achieve a balance of social, economic and environmental goals of sustainable development.
