In the context that Vietnam develops for international integration, the government has oriented socio-economic development to develop in a sustainable way, not kind of development at all costs. This is clearly shown through the fact that ministries and governmental institutions have adjusted policies and target programs to achieve the millennium goal set by the United Nations to serve the action plan for the sustainable development of the entire nation. From the point of view of sustainable development, many countries around the world have calculated green GDP instead of normal GDP to see that economic development must be closely linked to social progress and environmental protection. Throughout many years of research on the total economic value of a system of environmental resources, especially the total economic value of the humanistic ecology system of Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, the author found that there are similarities in the calculation of green GRDP and that of the total economic value of a geographic area. This paper aims to present a conceptual framework to calculate the green GRDP for the Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, using total economic value methods. The author also links the United Nations documents and the Statistics Law with the Government of Vietnam's guiding documents for implementing the law to formulate a green GRDP calculation conceptual framework using the methods of total economic value calculation. To calculate the Green GRDP of Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve by using the total economic value methods is an illustration to convince the validity of the Green GRDP Conceptual Framework. Hopefully there will be many comments from scientists and managers to be able to unify how to calculate green GRDP for mangrove areas and to move towards calculating green GRDP for the national economy, in order to manage the balance between "conservation for development" and "development for conservation" according to the trend of sustainable development.

The research aims at estimating the tourism and recreational values of Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, Ho Chi Minh City, specifically, assessed the tourism potential via the willingness-to-pays of respondents (including domestic tourists and local people) for sustaining the landscape and regenerating natural resources as well as protecting the environment. The zone travel cost method was adopted in this study, to firstly plot the demand curve and then to estimate the values of recreation for visitors, eventually, come up with the total economic value of natural resources and environment of the research site. The results showed that the total recreational value of this resort is 6,542.3 billion VND while the consumer surplus values that visitors would receive from tourism activities are 1,389 billion VND. Each the tourist is willing to pay 107 thousand VND to improve the quality of tourism services, upgrading the infrastructure, sustaining the environmental quality and protecting the pristine look of the landscape.

Despite the difficulties faced by the Republic of Moldova, the country still managed to achieve significant results in this area. The documents adopted at the state level contributed to achieving the goals and meeting the main requirements for the pace and quality of economic development in the period up to 2030.By 2030, Moldova is expected to become a country where poverty and corruption are eliminated, inequality is reduced, social inclusion and cohesion are strengthened, so that "no one is left behind", a country where human rights, gender equality and women's empowerment, the rule of law, environmental sustainability and the well-being of the population are respected and promoted.Discussion and conclusions. In its ambition to achieve SDGS, the Republic of Moldova is facing a myriad of challenges. Despite the fact that significant progress was registered, there is still a lot of work to do at all levels of public administration. Moreover, it is also essential to enhance the system for SDGs implementation moni­toring and evaluation. This 2030 Agenda requires a profound change that goes beyond the economic and political situation of the country. Moldova will achieve the key in­dicators of sustainable development and become a favourable country for the life of its citizens if only it will promote economic development policies of the country.

Countries all over the world are highly concerned about poverty. Both the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations set ending poverty and hunger as their top priority. Whether in its own modernization drive or in the implementation of the United Nations’ MDGs and SDGs, the Chinese Government has always attached great importance to poverty issues, and actively explored measures to reduce poverty. This paper is designed to use relevant statistics to sum up China’s achievements and experience in implementing the MDGs so as to provide a policy basis for poverty reduction in China and beyond. This paper discovers that China’s achievements in poverty reduction involve four aspects: Eliminating hunger ahead of schedule, improving people’s nutritional status, enhancing food security and laying a solid foundation for sustainable agricultural development; China’s experience in poverty reduction includes the following: the government had paid high attention; economic development had served as the key to solve all problems; the development had been guided by planning and guaranteed by policies and regulations; the market mechanism had played its due role; emphasis had been placed on the pilot projects and step-by-step promotion strategy, as well as on development cooperation and experience exchanges. The Chinese Government had formulated specific plans to achieve the poverty reduction targets set in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Besides, the Rural Revitalization Strategy proposed by the Chinese Government in 2017 has become the essential strategy to solve the poverty-related issues in China’s development.

According to the United Nations Children's Fund, it is estimated that worldwide around 165 million children were stunted in 2012. West Sulawesi currently has the highest prevalence of stunting (41.6 per cent), behind the WHO standard, which is below 20 per cent. Currently, the efforts that can be made by the Government of Indonesia are to target nutrition improvement in sustainable development (SDGs). This literature study aims to provide an overview of how depression and other problems during pregnancy can be associated with stunting. Literature from ProQuest, Science Direct and Google Scholar databases. The results showed that the 13 articles reviewed stated that depression and conflict during pregnancy were associated with an increase in stunting rates. An illustration of how depression and other problems during pregnancy can be used as a reference in implementing more diverse and appropriate interventions, especially in the region of one of the provinces in Indonesia, namely West Sulawesi, which has a high prevalence of stunting.
