The aim of the article is to research according to the desire to approach the effective achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which is supported by a UN expert group visiting Ukraine to support contextualization and adaptation of the SDGs to the needs and priorities of Ukraine through an approach based on updating, supporting policy and accelerating achievement -approach M-Mainstreaming (updating), AAcceleration (acceleration), PS-Policy Support (policy support)), United Nations agencies in Ukraine, namely FAO, IOM, UNDP, UN Population Fund, UNICEF and UN Women jointly with the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine. According to the approved Law of Ukraine "On the basic principles (strategy) of the state environmental policy of Ukraine for the period up to 2030" and the analytical report of ICED "Analysis of state strategic documents on the accounting of the Sustainable Development Goals adapted for Ukraine until 2030" and the Paris climate agreement, potentially imposes on Ukraine new obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and, unfortunately, the suspended consideration of the draft resolution on holding parliamentary hearings on the topic: "On the foundations of state policy forsustainable development of Ukraine" (June 3, 2020) - negatively affect the development of energy sector as the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. For this, there is a vision of a way to manage mechanisms for greening production, goals to reduce anthropogenic emissions, where a significant role in the country's energy supply of water and steam heat supply systems is acquired by the issues of efficient use of thermal energy in all areas of these systems: generation for heating water or for generating steam; transportation to the consumer, as well as when using it by the consumer. Improvements of integrated environmental management systems to ensure environmentally balanced nature management and environmental modernization for activities within the framework of energy-saving technologies, implementation features are given. In particular, the proposed methodological approach, based on theoretical research, the definition of information systems, taking into account as forms of environmental management. Highlighted features of system creation and practical implementation.

 With the enactment of a global agenda known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), all local governments must mainstream the environment in various government programs and policies. The mainstreaming is carried out because of the increase in anthropogenic activities which are predicted to have an impact on the existence of development and the environment. The Province of Bali has a variety of traditional wisdom that has significantly contributed greatly to environmental services and the provision of environmental services. However, increasing population growth has the potential to reduce environmental quality because of the excessive exploitation of natural resources without taking into account the sustainability of Bali's natural resource functions that have limitations. Related to this, the sensitivity and alignments of the environment that were patterned in the SDGs from various stakeholders need to be improved in an effort to build togetherness to conduct environmental management holistically.

Our paper focuses on the development of effective pathways for ensuring sustainable development of urban heat supply systems in the context of liberalization of economic relations in the energy sector. Using the example of the Moscow region, we reveal regularities in the change in the structure of heat sources and the organization of the main elements of the heat supply system. In addition, we propose an improved method for the formation of the marginal tariff for heat taking into account the structure of heat sources and allowing to eliminate the existing disadvantages of introducing market-based pricing methods. Moreover, we develop a mechanism for the sustainable development of centralized heat supply systems based on the organization of competitive selection of heat suppliers and the method of forming the maximum heat tariff.

AbstractRealisation of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) will provide improvements to people's lives and longevity of the planet. The architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) sectors have a potentially huge role in aiding the delivery of many SDGs; however, there appears to be a lack of research into the engagement within this sector. The leading environmental management system (EMS), ISO 14001, can enable organisations in the AEC sectors to improve their business operations, whilst minimising their impacts on the environment and improving society. Therefore, the study sets out to use institutional theory to determine the usefulness of ISO 14001 as a tool within the AEC sector and to demonstrate how the organisational benefits could facilitate the delivery of the SDGs. A stepwise PRISMA review process facilitated the compiling of academic articles and professional reports (n = 44), which enabled the creation of an inventory of the perceived benefits (n = 85) and the recognised barriers (n = 63) to implementing ISO 14001 across the AEC sectors. These barriers and benefits were confirmed by environmental practitioners as being relevant to the incorporation of an EMS. The most widely reported benefits within the AEC sectors were improving environmental performance and compliance with legislation. Lack of government pressure and lack of expertise were the most widely reported barriers, followed by cost to AEC organisations utilising an EMS. Following on from this inventory of benefits, it was possible to develop of a conceptual roadmap, which illustrates where linkages exist with the SDGs. SDG 4, 8, 12 and 13 are shown as exhibiting the most associations with the benefits. This roadmap was reviewed by AEC sector professionals who confirmed its usefulness. Therefore, it is surmised that the roadmap could aid strategic organisational sustainable planning or for organisations to demonstrate the delivery of their corporate social responsibilities.
