The social, environmental and economic subsystems are investigated in the framework of systems theory. Using a systems-integrated approach as an analysis tool, it is determined that the study of the links between elements, structures and subsystems provides the very foundation on which the ideology of sustainable development is based. The purpose of this article is to use systems theory to ground the ideology of sustainable development in the context of the socio-ecological-economic system. The main reason for the need to form a socio-ecological-economic system is the contradiction between the interests of society in the conservation and protection of the environment and the interests of economic entities aimed at maximizing profits in any way. This contradiction is due to the presence of external factors that arise in the process of system development and the formation of sustainable development of the country. In the proposed system, the unity of the three components, nature, population and economy, is the most important dominant, so the socio-ecological-economic system is understood as a set of interrelated elements of demographic, social, natural, industrial and institutional character, without which the existence of a common system is impossible. It is advisable to single out the socio-ecological-economic systems that are synonymous with the concept of region or regional system and contain three subsystems: social, environmental and economic. These subsystems are comprised of the following components: population and population, natural resources and production components, infrastructure and the like. The proportions of the economy should be shaped by the need to comply with environmental constraints. This will achieve coherence between the economic and environmental components of sustainable development. Mutual reconciliation of the development of economic and social components is ensured if economic growth is shifted from an end in itself to the goal of meeting social needs. In other words, economic growth must be accompanied by adequate social transformations and contribute to solving the problem of improving the quality of the environment. Otherwise, the growth of the economy will be devoid of any meaning in terms of the needs of the human community.

This paper aims to suggest an integration of dimensions, especially economic, social, environmental, and politics that are embedded in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within a framework called Umran. This Umranic framework hails from the idea of distinguished Muslim philosopher, historian and sociologist Ibn Khaldun, that is based on Islamic doctrines. As the present integration of the dimensions seems to be problematic, an exploration into the integration within Umranic framework is believed to be potentially a contributive endeavor. Based on an overview of literatures and a content analysis, this paper found that integrating dimensions of SDGs within the Umranic framework appears in the triangle of relationship between God, humans, and environment. This triangle exists in the form of an Islamic economic system. In this system, economic activities of natural resource utilization in various types of ownership undertake the sustainability dimension, that is the environmental protection and the promotion of equitable distribution, followed by the implementation of management of ownership and distribution rights according to Islamic rules. The pre-requisite on the part of the players is the high levels of spirituality. The application of this Islamic economic system followed by its political dimension will guarantee the achievement of SDGs even though it needs adjustment to a number of SDGs’ indicators that are not in accordance to Islamic teachings.

The article develops the theoretical and methodological foundations for the formation of the concept of investment support for sustainable development of rural areas in terms of institutional transformations. It is determined that the systemic idea of rural areas as a territorial and social system, allows us to consider them as a socio-ecological-economic system in the context of the following structural components: agroecosystems, economic and socio-mental space. It has been established that sustainable development is possible on the basis of an integrated approach that takes into account the close relationship between the economic, environmental and social components of rural areas. Rural areas develop in a certain natural environment, in close connection with the urban territorial subsystem and under the influence of the global economic system. The dynamism and sustainability of rural development depend not only on the external environment, but also on achieving a balance of their economic, social and environmental components, which is ensured by adhering to the principles of complexity, coherence, balance and harmony. The methods of management of sustainable development of rural areas used in modern economic science and practice are caused by features of the last, and also the factors influencing activity of investments in the conditions of a countryside. All this requires a variety of applied management tools, the cumulative effect of which should ensure sustainable development of rural areas, stabilization of agricultural production, stop the outflow of migration from rural areas to cities and abroad, improve living standards in rural areas. Based on the provisions of economic theory on the nature of investment and current legislation, the article reveals the following features of investing in sustainable rural development. It is noted that sustainable development of rural areas is possible only with sufficient and effective investment support based on a combination of efforts of state and local authorities, local communities, businesses, investment strategy, improving public investment policy and implementing an appropriate mechanism for its implementation.

This article focuses on the eighth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) for the global community, analysing its objectives and recommendations that are to be achieved by 2030 in the sectors of economic growth and employment. It is a critique of the SDG chosen, in light of the current economic system and its contradictions, taking into account the new factors of the decade, such as technology and the environmental crisis. Economic growth was present in every economic analysis in the past decade, but should it be the focus of the next? The current environmental concerns have forced the global community to rethink the way we look at economic growth and the system in general. The article will also explore the contradictions in employment and work while attempting to explain the problems of this sector. A special attention will be given to profit and the way it prevents the creation of decent jobs. The new possibilities of the green economy and the technological progress will be taken into account and developed. It will finish with a reflection on the economic system in general and the SDGs, while also proposing a solution to the problems of the next decades concerning the economic and employment sector.

Interdisciplinary Study

The three pillars of sustainable development are economic growth, social development, and protection of environment, and an integration of these pillars is required for national planning and policymaking. The greatest drawback of the existing literature in India is an inadequate understanding of the interplay of these three pillars. While dealing with the concept of sustainable development, the focus of the international community is on technical and environmental issues and challenges. Offering a unique integrated approach, which includes both macro and micro analyses, this volume is an interdisciplinary study of the various challenges that shape debates on sustainable development in India. The contributions cover issues like the role of patents in development, conservation of natural resources, protection of the marine environment, poverty, bioremediation, importance of the ocean life along with e-waste management and the role of local governments in attaining sustainability—issues which directly affect the progress of an economy. The theoretical and empirical analyses presented in this volume raise varied questions, yet the integrated whole that emerges reveals the future directions, which will shape the policy and theoretical debates on sustainable development.

The Impact

Recently, public–private partnerships (PPPs) have attracted renewed attention as a valuable tool to close the gap between public services and social needs. In fact, the United Nations (UN) proposed collaboration across multiple stakeholders as one of the key goals for securing global sustainable development. Yet, PPPs remain a controversial proposition for many due to, among other factors, the complexity and limitation of current systems to assess their impact beyond the notion of value for money. This study offers a conceptual model (EASIER) that accounts for six dimensions that are relevant for social, environmental, and economic progress. We also propose a questionnaire to assess the impact of PPPs on UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and apply it to a PPP contract as an illustration. We advocate the use of EASIER as an initial evaluation model due to its simplicity and its holistic perspective.

A review of various cognitive models for the region developed by the authors is proposed. To assess the opportunities for sustainable development of the region — the White Sea and the watershed, a set of cognitive models that reflect the dynamics of economic characteristics, the state and change of the environment, climate, agriculture and forestry and the social sphere are developed. Four models of the ecological-socio-economic system of the region are presented, which are used to determine different targets aimed at assessing the possibilities of improving the of living standard of the population, rational use and protection of the environment, the development of certain sectors of the economy and social sphere of the region which important for sustainable development of the region. In the first cognitive model for the region, the main objective function was considered to ensure the best possible development of all subregions (constituent entities of the Russian Federation) included in the watershed. The ratio of the magnitude of investments in the development of subregions and the demographic characteristics of the population to achieve comfortable living conditions was estimated. The second model was developed in order to study the possibilities of improving the living standards of the population using fisheries — a traditional occupation of the local Pomor’s population. The third model solved the multi-criteria problems of determining such a regime of control actions that would ensure the achievement of the maximum living standard of the population under different scenarios of the state of the economy and climate change. The fourth model took into account previous developments, is built on a hierarchical principle and can be used for various management purposes. The model is intended for prognostic assessments at a qualitative level of ongoing changes in a complex socio-ecological-economic system under various scenarios of economy, environmental management and climate change. The results can serve as the basis for constructing a system of quantitative models necessary for the development of management decision support systems.

Ecological Innovation

The economic system aimed at integrating industries and ecosystems is one of the five major systems for building an ecological civilization. What is an ecological economic system? It is an economic system that can keep economic growth ecologically neutral, i.e. an economic system that can maintain high-speed economic growth by following ecological and economic rules and without destabilizing ecosystems, so as to meet people’s ever-growing needs for a better life. Its features include minimum impacts on ecosystems and maximal eco-economic benefits, zero-carbon renewable energy as drivers, efficient connection between clean production and ecological industrial chains, equal stress on economical, non-waste material consumption and diversified non-material consumption. In practice, building an ecological economic system requires the establishment of a market system based on reflecting the scarcity of ecological elements, a technology support system relying on ecological innovation, a modern ecological industry system oriented to high-quality development, an investment system targeted at ecological capital gain and value realization, and a performance evaluation system guided by eco-efficiency and benefits. Besides, it is also required to establish and improve the property right system for ecological assets, study and formulates guiding policies for industries, speed up the eco-friendly reform of tax system, strengthen the innovation of green financial system and strictly observe the ecological red line.
