This paper studies the evolution of worldwide military spending during 1970-2018. It finds that military spending in relation to GDP is converging, but into three separate groups of countries. In the largest group, responsible for 90 percent of worldwide spending, outlays have remained stubbornly high. Military spending in developing economies reacts to improvements in security conditions and military spending in neighboring countries, suggesting that further increases in the peace dividend are possible. In developing economies, rising social spending tends to crowd out military outlays, but this is not the case in advanced economies. With social outlays projected to rise as developing countries look to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), military spending could come under pressure to fall further.

This chapter discusses the impact of mobile services in developing nations. It focuses on the opportunities for academic research to improve the services which contribute to the lives of citizens in the developing world and make progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. In many instances, the business models used in the developing economies serve to make the services more sustainable, and relieve some of the burden on governments which have traditionally been responsible for health, energy, sanitation, education and other basic services. This article also investigates the key role of co-creation in defining and developing the services that contribute to development. It concludes with a set of research challenges for furthering the progress towards attaining the Sustainable Development Goals through the use of mobile technologies.

The article analyzes the Russian Federation constituent regions’ sustainable development goals (SDGs) achievement. Identified are the determinant Russian regions, the driving force and the reason for their coherence in achieving sustainable development goals. The study is based on a systematic approach using the method of statistical, neural network and cluster analysis. Results. The study has revealed a contradiction expressed in priority of “SDG 7. Fixed capital investments by areas of investment in terms of “Production of electricity from renewable energy sources, including generated by solar, wind, geothermal power plants, as well as activities to ensure their performance”” line of business and underperformance in terms of “SDG 16. Russia’s position in the rating of the World Bank’s Doing Business project in terms of the “Getting credit” indicator. The work shows priority in relation to “SDG 3. Life expectancy at birth”, which is implemented through national projects. Analysis of the large Russian clusters regional importance identified the Moscow region by “SDG 1. Proportion of the population living below the national poverty line” and “SDG 3. Life expectancy at birth”. The analysis of interregional ties revealed determinant regions, the existence of which is supported by the dynamics of the developing Russian market, which is far behind countries with developing economies.

Abstract Low-carbon power transition, key to combatting climate change, brings far-reaching effects on achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in terms of resources use, environmental emissions, employment, and many more. Here we assessed the potential impacts of power transition on 49 regional multiple SDGs progress under three different climate scenarios. We found that power transition could increase global SDG index score from 72.36 in 2015 to 74.38 in 2040 under the 1.5℃ scenario, compared with 70.55 and 71.44 under ‘Coal-dependent’ and ‘Middle of the road’ scenario, respectively. The power transition related global SDG progress would mainly come from switching to renewables in developing economies. Power transition also improves the overall SDG in most developed economies under all scenarios, while undermining their employment-related SDG progress. The global SDG progress would be jeopardized by power transition related international trade changes under ‘Coal-dependent’ and ‘Middle of the road’ scenario, while improved under the 1.5℃ scenario.

Development Goals

Research in sustainable development, program design and monitoring, and evaluation requires data analytics for the Sustainable Developments Goals (SDGs) not to suffer the same fate as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDGs were poorly implemented, particularly in developing countries. In the SDGs dispensation, there is a huge amount of development-related data that needs to be harnessed using predictive analytics models such as deep neural networks for timely and unbiased information. The SDGs aim at improving the lives of citizens globally. However, the first six SDGs (SDGs 1-6) are more relevant to developing economies than developed economies. This is because low-resourced countries are still battling with extreme poverty and unacceptable levels of illiteracy occasioned by corruption and poor leadership. Inclusive innovation is a philosophy of SDGs as no one should be left behind in the global economy. The focus of this study is the implementation of SDGs 1-6 in less developed countries. Given their peculiar socio-economic challenges, we proposed a design for a low-budget deep neural network-based sustainable development goals 1-6 (DNNSDGs 1-6) system. The aim is to empower actors implementing SDGs in developing countries with data-based information for robust decision making.

Abstract BackgroundAchieving universal health coverage (UHC) is necessitating reforms in the way countries finance health systems. However, health financing reforms (HFR) are inherently political and SDGs declaration is a political one. Therefore, the terrain where efforts for reforming health financing occurs is likely being influenced by the SDGs declaration. However, how the SDGs have influenced health financing reform processes at the national level, the outcomes of these processes and how stakeholders especially ministries of health are using SDGs to influence reforms towards UHC have not been explored. This review is proposed to provide information and lessons on how SDGs have influence health financing reforms for UHC at national level and identify methodological and empirical gaps in studies exploring the relationship between SDGs and health financing reforms for UHC. MethodsWe propose a systematic review of literature and shall adhere to preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. We shall search 5 databases (Ovid Medline, PubMed, EBSCO, Scopus and Web of Science) and grey literature. Boolean operators “OR” and “AND” will be used to combine the concepts of sustainable development goals and health financing. The literature to be reviewed will be those on health financing reforms (population), one of the factors influencing the reform is SDGs declaration (exposure/intervention), and there is change in a health financing function (outcome). Identification and selection of studies shall be done in duplicate using a predefined tool, the overall process shall be depicted in a PRISMA flow chart. Quality assessment will be conducted using Joanna Biggs Institute checklist. Data shall be managed in NVIVo, where a thematic synthesis of data will be conducted. The results will be presented narratively. DiscussionWe shall share our finding with relevant stakeholders through workshop and publications. The SDGs declaration is relatively new, how it is influencing health financing reforms towards UHC at national level needs to be documented and shared for cross-country learning by stakeholders involved in this area. In addition, the review is anticipated to provide information on the methodological and/or empirical gaps in studies exploring the linkage between SDGs declaration and health systems reforms.
