The article emphasizes the fact that traditional socio-economic indicators do not reflect the challenges of sustainable development adequately, and this is particularly true for the widely-used GDP indicator. In this connection the elaboration of sustainable development indicators is needed, taking into account economic, social and environmental factors. For Russia, adaptation and use of concepts and basic principles of calculation methods for adjusted net savings index (World Bank) and human development index (UNDP) as integral indicators can be promising. The authors have developed the sustainable development index for Russia, which aggregates and allows taking into account balanced economic, social and environmental indicators.

The paper shows the need for the development and widespread use of sustainable development indicators for the regions. Drawing on global and Russia’s experience, the authors suggest perspective indicators of sustainability for Russian regions and analyze possible approaches to the elaboration of indicators for the regions on the basis of the adaptation of the World Bank adjusted net savings index and the UN Millennium Development Goals. Adequate accounting of indicators, which are currently undervalued or not considered, can lead to the revision of the mediumand long-term goals for regional development.

The Paper examines legal and financial tools which are used in Poland to succor the development of energy from renewable resources. In the first part a definition of sustainable development is given and the short history of this idea is shown. Then the concept of Sustainable energy is introduced. The second part describes main policies of European Union on sustainable policy and the Polish Legal System on Renewable Energy is described. The fifth part of the paper analyzes the sustainable development indicators provided by Eurostat for the energy produced from renewable resources. there are 6 indicators analyzed. In the end the forecasts for the development of RES in Poland is given. There are clues for development of different technologies in different provinces of Poland. There are also forecasts for the development of the renewable energy market in Poland.

The purpose of the article is to analyse the uniformity of changes over time concerning sustainable development of the European Union. Such analyses are particularly important as the pursuit of sustainable development of the EU countries is one of its strategic developmental objectives. The informational basis of the study were the sustainable development indicators for the years 2009—2014 published by the Eurostat. Vector calculus was used to examine the uniformity of changes. The results of the analysis confirmed significant differences in, both across regions in Europe and EU member countries.

Demographic indicators highlighted from international systems of sustainable development indicators. They are complemented by indicators that reflect the degree of demographic problems in the Russian North.

The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of karst landscape on the sustainable development of the Bela krajina region, southeast Slovenia. In order to better understand the influence of karst landscape on sustainable development we used three approaches: (1) the Karst Disturbance Index, (2) a quantitative analysis by using sustainable development indicators and (3) a qualitative analysis using structured interviews. The Karst Disturbance Index classified the degree of disturbance in Bela krajina as low. According to sustainable development indicators we found differences in the structure related to economy, population and environment within the region. And, according to the qualitative analysis, the negative impacts of the karst landscape on sustainable development are mainly associated with hampered agriculture and the positive with tourism; thus, karst landscape cannot only be seen as a limiting factor, since it also has development potential. Regional development in karst areas should therefore be adapted to their specificities and take into account their vulnerability.

The paper presents a rating analysis of socio-ecological and economic systems (SEES) of the APEC countries on the basis of sustainable development indicators. For an objective analysis and a correct comparison of different-sized sustainable development indicators proposed by the UN Commission on sustainable development and the World Bank the information folding procedure has been used which provides the use of a generalized desirability function. The calculated values of a generalized desirability function allowed to assess the socio-ecological and economic status of the APEC countries. The rating of the studied countries for 2007-2016 is as follows: New Zealand Peru Australia Chile Canada Russia Malaysia Mexico Thailand Philippines Vietnam Indonesia USA Republic of Korea Japan Singapore China. The SWOT analysis has revealed strengths and weaknesses, identified threats and promising opportunities for environmental, economic and socio-demographic development of the APEC countries as a single regional entity. The rating of the countries made on the basis of a set of sustainable development indicators with the use of a generalized desirability function is confirmed and analytically explained by the SWOT analysis which is considered to be a method of strategic planning of regional development.

Modelling Task

AbstractBecause sustainable development only becomes defined when measured (see Chapter 3; e.g. Bell & Morse, 2008), sustainable development index construction is an unsupervised modelling task without a supervising output variable (G. James, Witten, Hastie & Tibshirani, 2013). Consequently, sustainable development measurement is diverse in methods and methodologies (see Section 3.2, Section 3.3, and Section 4.2) and hallmarked by subjectivity and arbitrariness (e.g. Böhringer & Jochem, 2007), such that sustainable development indicators are rather confusing and non-consensual (Pope et al., 2017; Ramos & Moreno Pires, 2013). To counteract this finding and to achieve objectivity in assessment (see Table 10.1007/978-3-658-33246-4_3; Sala et al., 2015), the previous theoretical research is coupled with a profound methodological research.

Accounting Model

This paper aims at establishing the elements of sustainable development in the accounting of the economic entities. Emphasis is placed on the principles of sustainable development both in the national context and in the European space. The entities’ approach to integrating the requirements of sustainable growth into the accounting model has long been debated since the consumed natural resources are not to be found distinctly in the accounting records of the entity. The debate on this topic is carried out through specific instruments in the form of sustainable development indicators. Thus, in this paper, macroeconomic elements are promoted and, through their compositions, they integrate as many elements of the sustainable development into the accounting model and they are the most appropriate to meet the requirements of the development.
