In this work we discuss the importance of the application of sustainable development goals (SDGs) to all aspects which are related to the ocean. We argue that the ocean is interconnected and processes which are related to the ocean have direct impact on all SDGs, and any action undertaken within any of the SDGs will have an impact on the ocean. We believe that widely understood education of societies can ensure the proper understanding and hence implementation of the sustainable development idea throughout the world.

The Way

The global COVID-19 pandemic and an unexpected recession of dangerous proportions have provided strong reasons to look at the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from three perspectives: The SDGs as a victim of the 2020 recession; the SDGs as an opportunity for better coordination on the way out of the recession; and the SDGs as an object of modernization for better adaptation to the realities "on the world stage". The BRICS countries are interested in developing and implementing the SDGs on a global scale as a way to catch up. The authors propose a "pandemic protocol", as well as a change in the methodology for including indicators in the SDGs: the introduction of new indicators that are important for sustainability and the incorporation of cross-cutting key indicators for the SDGs, both new and existing.

The World

The global trend of sustainable development of the state economies is associated with a systematic approach that provides for comprehensive and interconnected effective business development, environmental protection, and social decisions. The concept of “sustainable development” was first conceived in 1983 by the World Commission for South Africa, was further developed in 1983 by the UN World Commission. In 1987 this concept was reflected by UN World Commission in the report “Our Common Future” to the World Commission. Despite such a long period of existence of the concept of sustainable development, many issues related to the implementation of this concept remain unresolved. One of the most important issues in assessing the sustainable development of socio-economic systems is the choice of criteria. In general, sustainable development of the economy is primarily associated with a person. Thus, the study considers a methodological approach to calculating a consolidated composite index for assessing the sustainability of the development of a national socio-economic system. The purpose of the study was to investigate the main strategies of social and economic development, key challenges and directions of such development, both at the state and private business level. The strategy of an open economy with the active participation of the state is considered on the example of supporting five fundamental sectors of the economy: energy, transport, water supply, sanitation, and forestry. The influence of globalisation on the sustainable development of socio-economic systems through regionalisation is shown – the peculiar political and economic mechanisms of structural transformation aimed at increasing the efficiency of the economies of the countries participating in the integration association.

The urgency of the research consists in the imperfection of the mechanism of allocation and redistribution of natural rent, which significantly slows down the process of implementation of the sustainable development concept in Ukraine, both at the macroeconomic and microeconomic levels. The purpose and the objective of the research are to identify causes of unfair withdrawal and distribution of rental payments and the search for approaches to solve them considering the interests of the state, business entities that carry out economic activities using natural resources generating rent, and citizens of the country. To solve the research tasks and achieve the set purpose, the dialectical approach was used to assess the level of development of the formation, distribution and redistribution of natural rent; the system analysis was used to identify problems and substantiate measures of the state regulatory policy as to the redistribution of natural rent among entities of rental relations, as well as to determine areas for further use of rental income by business entities; the comparative analysis was applied to study the experience of using instruments, methods and levers of distribution and redistribution of rent;  the statistical methods was used to analyse the main indicators of distribution and redistribution of natural rent in the national economy; the abstract-logical method was applied to substantiate the basic theoretical provisions, formulation of conclusions. It is proved that the existing distribution of natural rent in Ukraine is imperfect due to the existence of a number of legal and fiscal-distributive issues. The model of the regulation mechanism of rental relations, which considers all entities of such relations, as well as requirements, the implementation of which brings the national economy essentially closer to the desired parameters of sustainable development, is proposed. The primary measures for transformation of the regulation mechanism of rental relations and directions of use of rental income by the business entity are determined. The practical significance of the research is to determine the necessary conditions and limitations of functioning of implementation mechanism of rental relations, as well as to determine the priorities of development of economic entities receiving natural rent. The obtained results will form the prospects for further research, which will consist of recommendations for practical implementation of the proposed regulation mechanism of rental relations.

Scientific Truth

In the conditions of the global economic crisis, technical and technological and social changes, entrepreneurship is imposed as a counterbalance to globalization, due to uncertain market factors and destabilized national economies. One of the world's socioeconomic side effects is global solidarity: a way of thinking about society and the environment that makes ecology along with small and medium-sized enterprises the main parameters of economic reforms on a global scale. Bearing in mind that entrepreneurship represents a specific, tangible approach to making profit in terms of observing and exploiting business opportunities in the market, dictated by innovative, technological and social conditions, companies around the world, and at the level of development strategies of government governments, implement the concept of sustainable development into their business plans , focusing not only on financial gain, but also on the social aspect of having a positive impact on society. The ecological dimension of sustainable development relates primarily to the broader notion of profit making: the ability of society to change for the better in the fields of employment, education, recycling and cultural activities. Companies based on ecological principles are now called sustainable / ecological enterprises, and an economy based on the study of environmental resources for environmental economies. However, the education itself and the development of ethics on the environment in the environment are largely hampered by the development of ecological entrepreneurship, since the destruction of the Earth's ecosystems is not provable with sufficient scientific truth, and on the other hand, global NGOs constantly point to the advantage of an ecological business model as an investment asset because the environmental problem global, and therefore allows for international cooperation, while ecological companies create value in the same way as ecosystems: not producing waste or wasting unsustainable resources.

The chapter argues that whether or not the world is successful in attaining sustainability, political systems are in a process of epoch-defining change as a result of the unsustainable demands of our social systems. This chapter theorizes a framework for analyzing the political “translation” of sustainability norms within national polities. Translation, in this sense, denotes the political reinterpretation of sustainable development as well as the national capacities and contexts which impact how sustainability agendas can be instrumentalized. This requires an examination into the political architecture of a national polity, the norms that inform a political process, socioecological contexts, the main communicative channels involved in the dissemination of political discourse and other key structures and agencies, and the kinds of approaches toward sustainability that inform the political process. This framework aims to draw attention to the ways in which global economic, political, and social systems are adapting and transforming as a result of unsustainability and to further understanding of the effectiveness of globally diffused sustainability norms in directing that change.

The Impact

Abstract This workshop is dedicated on SDGs in the focus of environmental and health issues, as very important and actual topic. One of the characteristics of today's societies is the significant availability of modern technologies. Over 5 billion (about 67%) people have a cellphone today. More than 4.5 billion people worldwide use the Internet, close to 60% of the total population. At the same time, one third of the people in the world does not have access to safe drinking water and half of the population does not have access to safe sanitation. The WHO at UN warns of severe inequalities in access to water and hygiene. Air, essential to life, is a leading risk due to ubiquitous pollution and contributes to the global disease burden (7 million deaths per year). Air pollution is a consequence of traffic and industry, but also of demographic trends and other human activities. Food availability reflects global inequality, famine eradication being one of the SDGs. The WHO warns of the urgency. As technology progresses, social inequality grows, the gap widens, and the environment continues to suffer. Furthermore, the social environment in societies is “ruffled” and does not appear to be beneficial toward well-being. New inequalities are emerging in the availability of technology, climate change, education. The achievement reports on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also point out to the need of reviewing individual indicators. According to the Sustainable Development Agenda, one of the goals is to reduce inequalities, and environmental health is faced by several specific goals. The Global Burden of Disease is the most comprehensive effort to date to measure epidemiological levels and trends worldwide. It is the product of a global research collaborative and quantifies the impact of hundreds of diseases, injuries, and risk factors in countries around the world. This workshop will also discuss Urban Health as a Complex System in the light of SDGs. Climate Change, Public Health impacts and the role of the new digital technologies is also important topic which is contributing to SDG3, improving health, to SDG4, allowing to provide distance health education at relatively low cost and to SDG 13, by reducing the CO2 footprint. Community Engagement can both empower vulnerable populations (so reducing inequalities) and identify the prior environmental issues to be addressed. The aim was to search for public health programs using Community Engagement tools in healthy environment building towards achievement of SDGs. Key messages Health professionals are involved in the overall process of transformation necessary to achieve the SDGs. Health professionals should be proactive and contribute to the transformation leading to better health for the environment, and thus for the human population.
