Ambient intelligence data is key for the global scope of climate, biodiversity, water, air pollution, and general environmental control. The account of carbon emissions, water and air pollutants, sea and freshwater life, and earth nature quality, are key for a healthy environment, in local or global concerns. Controlling initiatives and data management for the environment are part of sustainability strategies for governments, businesses, and entities in general. Such initiatives are increasingly connected to key mankind issues such as poverty, hunger, health, education, gender and equality, among others. Altogether, they are clearly addressed in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, to be met in 2030. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a relevant connection of environmental intelligence systems with public policies, research, international cooperation, and technology transfers. In a detailed analysis of their targets, they offer the stimulus for a vast array of technical applications linking sustainability issues with Ambient Intelligence technologies. The SDGs should be considered the benchmark for action towards a healthy environment given their global concern and interconnectivity of multiple issues related to a better quality of life. The SDGs should become, ultimately, the main driver for the spread of present and new technologies to promote better monitoring and control of the environment. The growth and advances of Ambient Intelligence technologies to new areas of knowledge should be enhanced by their connectivity with the SDGs.

Critical Overview

Economic development and environmental degradation are usually inversely proportional to each other and this can be reversed by endorsing more eco-competent growth policies. Although with the prompt economic growth, the concern of environmental sustainability is still a major challenge for every country. EIA since its inception has been considered as a holistic tool in assessing the potential impacts of developmental projects on the natural environment. EIA in India was first launched in 1994 and since then it has been undergoing a renaissance, and now several developmental projects have to obtain necessary environmental clearance as per the EIA notification 2006. This paper focuses on a critical overview of the evolution, process, and changes. Evaluation of the process using SOAR analysis helps in increasing the transparency and efficacy in the EIA. This research finally concludes by inferring that EIA if exercised properly shall not only ensure a clean and healthy environment but also shall aid the nation in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

ABSTRACTThe living environment is a home for all living things that should be protected and preserved. Lack of environmental awareness can cause environmental pollution and waste problems. The presence of waste banks becomes an attempt to create a clean, beautiful, and healthy environment. In its operational system, waste banks apply the values of maqashid sharia that is called green economy. The purpose of this study was to analyze the values of maqashid sharia and green economy which were applied by the Central Waste Bank of Surabaya. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with a case study strategy to provide a detailed description of the operating system at the Central Waste Bank of Surabaya. The results showed that the application of maqashid sharia values in the Central Waste Bank of Surabaya was applied through stipulations, procurement activities, and established regulations as well as realizing 10 principles in the green economy program concepts which also supported three programs in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). According to the findings of this study, the relevant suggestion is that the management of the Central Waste Bank of Surabaya requires special attention so that the application of maqashid sharia values can be optimal. The optimization of maqashid sharia values will benefit the community, not limited to the economic aspect.Keywords: Waste Bank, Maqashid Sharia, Green Economy, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Purpose. The purpose of the article is investigation of the problems in the formation of a unified system of indicators of the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals in the world and Ukraine, justification of the need to adapt the approaches applied at the international level to the solution of the national objectives of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, determination of the directions for monitoring in this area. Methodology of research. Scientists researches, documents of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine, and reports of the United Nations were the theoretical basis this research.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4, 5 and 9 are related to the quality of education, gender equality and the use of new technologies. It is important to bear in mind that a major part of the success of education has to do with students' motivation, which is closely connected to the use of technologies in the classroom. For this reason, a study was carried out with 131 students aged 12 and 13, 58 girls and 73 boys, who use a tablet in their Science classes. The purpose of the study was to determine, based on the Self Determination Theory, the level of intrinsic motivation of those adolescents towards the use of tablets in the classroom. The study measured the interest they have in the tasks and the value they assign to said tasks, as well as their perception of their competence in using tablets. The results reveal that students' motivation is high without significant differences between girls and boys when technological resources are included in teaching-learning processes. This is reflected by the improvement of their academic performance. It is thus possible to state that SDGs 4, 5 and 9 can be achieved.
