Critical information infrastructure exists in different sectors of each country. Its loss or sustainability violation will lead to a negative impact on the supply of essential services, as well as on the social or economic well-being of the population. It also may even pose a threat to people’s health and lives. In the modern world, such infrastructure is more vulnerable and unstable than ever, due to rapid technological changes, and the emergence of a new type of threat—information threats. It is necessary to determine which infrastructure are of crucial importance when decision-makers aim to achieve the reliability of essential infrastructure. This article aims to solve the problem of ensuring the sustainable development of EU countries in terms of identifying critical information infrastructures. Integrated multi-criteria decision-making techniques based on fuzzy WASPAS and AHP methods are used to identify essential information infrastructures, which are related to a new type of potential threat to national security. The paper proposes a model for identifying critical information infrastructures, taking into account the sustainable development of countries.

Green bonds can be considered as a model of economic development, that reduces environmental risks and ecological problems, promotes sustainable development, reduces the negative impact on the environment. In addition, it can be considered as a mechanism for the sustainable development and poverty eradication, and its result will also improve the human well-being and social equality. Like any new form of financing, including "green bonds", it is still in its infancy and can be evaluated after some time. We think this financing tool will be useful for financing environmental projects. In addition, the establishment of the new Green Bank (or fund) will facilitate the direct investment or risk mitigation tools, or both, for the climate-related projects. LEDS and NEEAP have independently submitted options for setting up a public organization with a special mandate about green funding. Investors, commercial banks and corporations operating in Georgia may benefit from such a national funding organization for climate change measures to protect their investments from risks. One of the priority directions of ecological relations for Georgia is the creation of normative acts, which enable the unification and harmonization of ecological legislation, including in the field of "green economy". The development of "ecological technologies" is also of great importance for the development of the "green economy". The "green economy" strategy should become a model of sustainable development in the long run. In Summary, Green bonds may have been a good response by governments to restore the pandemic-reduced economic activity. With the reduced liquidity, this could be a good opportunity to access capital and increase investor confidence in the private sector and to attract more investments.

AbstractAchieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a long-term task, which puts forward high requirements on the sustainability of related policies and actions. Using the text analysis method, we analyze the China National Sustainable Communities (CNSCs) policy implemented over 30 years and its effects on achieving SDGs. We find that the national government needs to understand the scope of sustainable development more comprehensively, the sustained actions can produce positive effects under the right goals. The SDGs selection of local governments is affected by local development levels and resource conditions, regions with better economic foundations tend to focus on SDGs on human well-being, regions with weaker foundations show priority to basic SDGs on the economic development, infrastructures and industrialization.

Deliberative Processes

The global disconnect between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), has been described as ‘a missed opportunity’. Since devolution, the Welsh Government has actively pursued a ‘sustainable development’ and a ‘children’s rights’ agenda. However, until recently, these separate agendas also did not contribute to each other, although they culminated in two radical and innovative pieces of legislation; the Rights of Children and Young Persons (Wales) Measure (2013) and the Well-being and Future Generations (Wales) Act (2015). This article offers a case study that draws upon the SDGs and the CRC and considers how recent guidance to Welsh public bodies for implementation attempts to contribute to a more integrated approach. It suggests that successful integration requires recognition of the importance of including children in deliberative processes, using both formal mechanisms, such as local authority youth forums, pupil councils and a national youth parliament, and informal mechanisms, such as child-led research, that enable children to initiate and influence sustainable change.

Touristic Development

Alternative forms of tourism are increasingly recognized as key to sustainable development. The reasons for this are that, contrary to mass tourism with its negative impact on the visited areas, alternative tourism causes a form of balanced growth, in harmony with the environment and in socio-cultural terms. The development of tourism in a sustainable way is relatedto the implementation of an innovative strategy by touristic organizations. The advantage of tourist resources is that they can be reused without compromising their quality, provided, however, that no actions are taken to destroy or change them irrevocably. The biggest guidance for strengthening tourism is the ability of managers to formulate a strategy for achieving competitive advantage for their organizations. The goals of sustainable touristic development are economic viability, local prosperity, quality of employment, social equality, visitor satisfaction, local control, social well-being, cultural wealth, physical integrity, biodiversity, efficient use of resources, cleanliness of the environment. In this respect, the cluster model of organization and coordination of tourism activity is a prerequisite for economic and social efficiency, especially for the development of touristic destinations in local settlements and resorts, in combination with various public authorities and especially between private companies and enterprises.Whatever the environment of the region, care must be taken to preserve it for future generations. Today's world is very dynamic and change is intangible. The purpose of adaptation is not to destroy the principles of sustainability. If they, as well as the adoption of adequate policies, remain unused, then tourism tourism will be to the detriment of the environment.

Background: This work investigated attitudes and public perception regarding the impact of allowing women to drive on social, environmental, and economic aspects of the sustainable development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The study includes the perspectives of both women and men towards the potential implications of this decree on society in general and women’s well-being in particular. Methods: The methodology consisted of an online survey that was conducted before and after the decree was activated in 2017, where 62,065 individuals participated from thirteen provinces of the KSA. Geographic information systems (GISs) and statistical methods were applied to the obtained datasets to examine the geographical distribution and modeling of the effect of women driving on sustainable development of the KSA. Results: The results show that the attitudes towards allowing women to drive are geographically and statistically diverse. The study revealed that the economic impact of women driving was the highest significance, especially in increasing employment opportunities for women and decreasing household travel expenses for women. Conclusion: Overall, 70.4% of respondents agreed that women driving will positively affect the sustainable development of the KSA in terms of social and economic impact. The study also revealed that geographic location is one of the dominating factors on the attitudes towards the social impact of women driving within 95% confidence interval. Additionally, participants strongly believe (with an agreement rate of 85.1%) that Saudi women driving will improve economic development and the female job market.

The modern world needs a new type of leader who develops a vision of the future for his / her followers and encourages them to be ready for it. These leaders ensure changes, they are not focused that much on the behavior of their followers / subordinates and on controlling their behavior. On the contrary, they are focused on the development of initiative and support becoming the servants of those they have to lead. The concept of servant l eadership is derived from the ideas of Robert K. Greenleaf. As R. Greenleaf states, it all starts with a natural urge – the desire to serve. The motto of this thought is "A good leader is primarily a servant". The task of the leader is to achieve common goals by ensuring the well-being of followers and subordinates. Servant leadership is an attempt to become better, to become the person others would gladly follow. Such an idealistic vision of a leader as a servant is fruitful and is paid off even in a very competitive business world. A servant leader builds an organized and creative team, and this type of leadership involves the development of organizational culture which demonstrates a high level of trust. Being a servant leader means to help people overcome obstacles and get the tools and resources they need to perform better; to be an example; to facilitate the work of others; to be willing to do what others do. This model of leadership implies a "flattening" of hierarchies: a boss is a friend who listens to those who are with him/her rather than a person who decides what is best for them. This type of leadership has the powerful potential in today’s globalized world. The article aims to analyze the concept of servant leadership. The authors have used an interpretive research paradigm and multidisciplinary analysis.
