In 2015, the UN member countries, on mutual understanding, identified 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to be achieved by 2030. According to several reports, some countries are reflecting good progress, but overall, no country is on track towards achieving all the UN SDGs. This paper aims to show the progress and commitment of the UAE towards UN SDGs. A qualitative research approach using a systematic literature review complying with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses and a semi-structured interview was adapted to achieve the aim of this research. The results reflect that the Emirates has achieved only one goal. Most of the remaining goals are not on track to be achieved by 2030. In fact, some of the goals related to energy and climate are becoming riskier. The country under its different initiatives aims to invest a total of US$163·35 billion in different projects that target to achieve 50% clean energy by 2050. It is, however, not clear from the government strategy how these targets will be achieved. Similarly, the government needs to ensure a close relationship between organisations so that the action of one unit does not derail the plans of other organisations.

E-learning brings new dimensions to traditional education. This especially affects countries that, due to many factors, have historically been considered the &ldquo ; talent pool&rdquo ; for the world community. In this study, a model for financing e-education has been developed that is applicable to Russian realities. The model was built around the balance between demand (global politics, economics, and principles of sustainable development) and supply (sources of direct financing). As a result, a key challenge of improving the e-learning financing methodology and models, specifically the efficiency of government spending and private investing, demands the use of new approaches and mechanisms. To improve e-learning financing, a clear understanding of the applied purpose of public and private means is required. Responsibilities for the e-learning outcome of institutions that receive financing are linked to their status. An unclear understanding of these issues is more likely associated with the issue of transparency of financing than with inefficiency. The proposed model allows transforming the &ldquo ; standards&rdquo ; of financing both in the field of e-education and Russian education in general and presents a new vision of participants&rsquo ; interaction in the educational process, taking into account a set of restrictions and market features.

Este documento pretende contribuir al debate y esclarecimiento sobre el Desarrollo Sustentable. No hay sector en el mundo que no hable del Desarrollo Sustentable, pero muy pocos entienden lo que realmente propone éste. De esto se aprovechan en forma reiterada los países capitalistas y sus representantes en los diferentes sectores. Los neoliberales también hablan de Desarrollo Sostenible; pero, ¿son consecuentes con sus principios económicos?, ¿la visión antropocéntrica propone realmente el Desarrollo Sostenible? ¿En gobiernos que están bajo el mandato del FMI y BM se podrán implementar políticas que encaminen al Desarrollo Sostenible? Estas son algunas de las preguntas que vamos a esclarecer en el documento. La crisis ambiental no es un problema reciente. Esto viene aconteciendo desde muchos años atrás. Si en los años setenta la crisis ambiental llevó a proclamar el freno al crecimiento antes de alcanzar el colapso ecológico, en los años noventa la dialéctica de la cuestión ambiental ha producido su negación: hoy el discurso neoliberal afirma la desaparición de la contradicción entre ambiente y crecimiento. Los mecanismos de mercado se convierten en el medio más certero y eficaz para internalizar las condiciones ecológicas y los valores ambientales al proceso de crecimiento económico. En la perspectiva neoliberal, los problemas ecológicos no surgen como resultado de la acumulación de capital, ni por fallas del mercado, sino por no haber asignado derechos de propiedad y precios a los bienes comunes. Una vez establecido lo anterior, las clarividentes leyes del mercado se encargarían de ajustar los desequilibrios ecológicos y las diferencias sociales: la equidad y la sustentabilidad. El discurso dominante busca promover el crecimiento económico sostenido, negando las condiciones ecológicas y termodinámicas que establecen límites a la apropiación y transformación capitalista de la naturaleza. La naturaleza está siendo incorporada así al capital mediante una doble operación: por una parte se intenta internalizar los costos ambientales del progreso; junto con ello, se instrumenta una operación simbólica, un «cálculo de significación» que recodifica al hombre, la cultura y la naturaleza como formas aparentes de una misma esencia: el capital. Así, los procesos ecológicos y simbólicos son reconvertidos en capital natural, humano y cultural, para ser asimilados al proceso de reproducción y expansión del orden económico, reestructurando las condiciones de la producción mediante una gestión económicamente racional del ambiente. De esta manera, la retórica del crecimiento sostenible ha reconvertido el sentido crítico del concepto de ambiente en un discurso voluntarista, proclamando que las políticas neoliberales habrán de conducirnos hacia los objetivos del equilibrio ecológico y la justicia social por la vía más eficaz: el crecimiento económico guiado por el libre mercado. Este discurso promete alcanzar su propósito, sin una fundamentación sobre la capacidad del mercado para dar su justo valor a la naturaleza, para internalizar las externalidades ambientales y disolver las desigualdades sociales; para revertir las leyes de la entropía y actualizar las preferencias de las generaciones futuras. ; This document aims to contribute to the debate and clarification on sustainable development, there is no sector in the world that does not speak of the importance of this topic, but very few understand what it really proposes. Capitalist countries and their representatives in different sectors repeatedly take advantage of this. Neoliberals also speak of sustainable development; But, are they consistent with its economic principles? Does the anthropocentric vision really propose sustainable development? In governments that are under the mandate of the IMF and WB, will policies that aim at sustainable development be implemented? These are some of the questions that we are going to clarify in the document. The environmental crisis is not a recent problem. This has been going on for many years. If in the 1970s the environmental crisis led to proclaiming the brake on growth before reaching ecological collapse, in the 1990s the dialectic of the environmental question has produced its negation: today the neoliberal discourse affirms the disappearance of the contradiction between environment and increase. Market mechanisms become the most accurate and effective way to internalize ecological conditions and environmental values in the process of economic growth. In the neoliberal perspective, ecological problems do not arise as a result of capital accumulation, nor due to market failures, but because of not having assigned property rights and prices to common goods. Once this was established, the clairvoyant laws of the market would be in charge of adjusting ecological imbalances and social differences: equity and sustainability. The dominant discourse seeks to promote sustained economic growth, denying the ecological and thermodynamic conditions that set limits to the capitalist appropriation and transformation of nature. Nature is thus being incorporated into capital through a double operation: on the one hand, an attempt is made to internalize the environmental costs of progress; Along with this, a symbolic operation is implemented, a "calculation of significance" that recodes man, culture and nature as apparent forms of the same essence: capital. Thus, the ecological and symbolic processes are converted into natural, human and cultural capital, to be assimilated to the process of reproduction and expansion of the economic order, restructuring the conditions of production through economically rational management of the environment. In this way, the rhetoric of sustainable growth has turned the critical sense of the concept of environment into a voluntarist discourse, proclaiming that neoliberal policies must lead us towards the objectives of ecological balance and social justice by the most effective means: economic growth. guided by the free market. This discourse promises to achieve its purpose, without a foundation on the market's capacity to give its fair value to nature, to internalize environmental externalities and dissolve social inequalities; to reverse the laws of entropy and update the preferences of future generations.

Sampit as the Capital of Kotawaringin Regency has a city mascot in the form of Jelawat Fish Statue. This fish is one of the typical fish species in Borneo and is also a type of 'high caste' fish because it has a fairly competitive economic value. Making the fish as the mascot of the city, of course gives consequences for the area to make fisheries as the leading sector. However, fishery sector has not been developed enough by local government which prioritizes processing industry and trade. While the fishery sector is one of the sectors that provide the dominant contribution to regional income. Therefore it is time for the fishery sector to be developed and improved with various strategies and policies. This is in order to take advantage of space where the territorial waters of Kotim Regency which is quite extensive consists of rivers, lakes, swamps, and beaches should be utilized to the fullest. The choice of aquaculture fishery, because it is considered more efficient and effective both in time and capital. Aquaculture is also more environmentally friendly because it is avoided from the use of trawlers and explosives commonly found in capture fisheries. So this plan meets the value of sustainability as it develops renewable resources, meets ecological, social, and economic and cultural aspects. An ideal development than exploitation activities of time-consuming mining materials, unstable prices, and incapable of empowering communities comprehensively because the processing of mining products in Kotim District is done elsewhere even though the tax revenue for regions is large but unsustainable. while the fisheries sector comprehensively empowers the community from fishermen, fish farmers, industrial-scale entrepreneurs, investors, banks, cooperatives, SME entrepreneurs, and others.

The objective of the work was to study the international aspects of the regulation of social and labor relations, with emphasis on global processes and their influence, on the part of international institutions, on the security of the individual and stable development in the work environment. The study used scientific methods such as: systemic analysis, comparison, functional historical, legal comparative and communicative. It was established that the sharp multiplication of global problems that have currently appeared before mankind requires consensual efforts of all members of the world community. In the conclusions it was stressed that all measures of the world community in terms of labor have to start from the true fact that it affirms the safety and dignity of work of each person as a fundamental value. Consequently, the category «security» should be considered not only as an abstract dominant of development of a certain spectrum of labor social relations, but also as a real reason for the valid assurance of each individual. Definitely, the guarantee of safety should be based on the active position of each separate individual, not only in the sphere of occupational safety and hygiene, but in all spheres of social relations.

This title was first published in 2003. Based on a blend of knowledge and perspectives from a variety of disciplines this volume examines the human-environment interaction in Africa, with a focus on the economic, social and political processes that generate environmental change and problems in this region. Currently there are controversies over and challenges to such concepts and issues as environment-human relationships, ecological resilience, decertification, sustainable development, globalization and North-South dialogue. This book draws upon past and present research findings to discuss these issues. It features: an examination of the characteristics, processes and patterns of environmental crises; an analysis of the principal issues and challenges facing policy makers and implementers; and the promotion of awareness of theoretical, empirical and comparative research. The volume not only seeks to answer some of the old questions, but also open up new ones for further discussion.
