Unemployment is one of the most important problems affecting people in all countries. It affects the functioning of entire economies, industries, and enterprises; it also reduces the level and quality of people's lives. The dynamic changes that are taking place in the labor market are forcing entrepreneurs to adopt a flexible approach to labor market resources – that is, employees – and also to choose appropriate forms of human capital management. This may lead to a reduction in unemployment in the market. Consequently, tackling unemployment is one of the important challenges facing the European Union, especially on its way to achieving sustainable development goals. High levels of unemployment could significantly hamper the achievement of the Agenda 2030 employment targets (SDG8), leading to poverty, social and economic inequality, and social instability. Therefore, the subject of this study is unemployment in EU countries; the main objective is to examine unemployment levels across EU member states. The deliberations and analysis are carried out in the context of the Agenda 2030 Goal 8 (SDG 8) for sustainable development. Taking into account the different degrees of implementation of SDG8 by individual Member States, and thus the different results in this respect, the study finds differences and similarities among the surveyed Member States in terms of types and levels of unemployment. The research is based on Eurostat data for 2022, and uses multidimensional comparative analysis methods such as cluster analysis and linear ordering. A review of selected sources on international and European law focuses on employment policy standards, including the problem of unemployment; this serves as a background for the analyses. The considerations are embedded in the concept of sustainable development, which influences the functioning of entire economies, but also in the processes of enterprise management. Based on the literature and the results of the analyses, it is concluded that levels of unemployment vary greatly in the analyzed countries. The best conditions for availability and accessibility of work are found in the Czech Republic and Malta; the worst are in Spain and Greece, where unemployment is very high.

This study is aimed at studying human potential, its development and implementation in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). Taking into account the commitments made by the countries of the Union to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in accordance with Agenda 2030 and under sanctions pressure from hostile countries.Aim. To present the human potential of the integration association as a complex phenomenon of the socio-economic relations of the integrating countries, as well as to identify the emerging risks and offer practical recommendations for reproducing the human potential within the EAEU.Tasks. To trace the dynamics of indicators of development and realization of human potential in each country of the EAEU and the aggregate human potential of the EAEU, to reveal the features of reproduction of human potential by dividing it into qualitative and functional forms, to identify modern risks for reproduction of human potential of the EAEU and new opportunities for development.Methods. To compare indicators of human development of the EAEU countries, the method of comparative analysis is used. In the part of the human potential of the EAEU, it is proposed to take into account new risks for ensuring sustainable human development in the integration association, which make it possible to make methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and statistical method.Results. Based on the analysis of the dynamics of development of such forms of human potential as health potential, educational potential and labor potential, accumulated problems, modern challenges and risks for reproduction of human potential of each EAEU country.Conclusion. The EAEU can no longer remain only an economic integration project, and it is time to expand the horizons of interaction between countries, including on the sphere of development and the realization of human potential. By taking into account new risks, countries need to coordinate the directions of development of the EAEU's total human potential within the framework of commitments to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals in accordance with Agenda 2030 and under the conditions of ongoing sanctions pressure from hostile countries.

BACKGROUND: By adopting Agenda 2030, governments agreed to review and report on their approach and action for achievement of sustainable development goals annually through the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) on Sustainable Development. Health and well-being are at the heart of the United Nations Agenda 2030. Given the social and economic harm that can be done by alcohol, reducing the consumption of alcohol is a pre-requisite to achieve the sustainable development goals. We explored how selected European countries have considered alcohol-related harm as an obstacle to achievement of SDGs and the extent to which they view alcohol policy as a solution to the achievement of sustainable development by analysing their voluntary national reviews (VNRs) submitted to the HLPF between years 2016 and 2020. METHODS: We developed our own framework with 260 questions reflecting three dimensions of alcohol-harm considerations: indication, action, and evaluation. We analysed 36 VNRs of 32 European countries by first assessing them against the 260 questions to find out how they report on alcohol harm and whether they, in their action, refer to evidence-based, cost-effective alcohol policy solutions. Afterwards we used content analysis to assess the extent to which the countries addressed alcohol related harm, whether they refer to alcohol harm within SDG 3 (good health and well-being) or look beyond the health goal and consider alcohol harm having impact on goals other than the Goal 3. FINDINGS: Nine countries (28.1%) did not mention alcohol in their report. Only eight countries (25%) mentioned one or more of the alcohol policy best buys among the actions they are taking to reduce alcohol related harm and only three (9.3%) explicitly elaborated on their impact on goals other than goal 3. Only five countries referred to the agreed indicator 3.5.2 measuring alcohol per capita consumption in the adult population. Many of the remaining countries used a range of terminology rather than alcohol per capita consumption, including ...

El objetivo de este texto es reseñar Visiones y debates de la cooperación sur-sur y triangular: actores gubernamentales, sociales y privados, un libro de carácter académico editado y coordinado por la Dra. Tahina Ojeda Medina y publicado en julio de 2020 por el Instituto Universitario de Desarrollo y Cooperación de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid y la Editorial Los Libros de la Catarata. En el marco de las teorías de las Relaciones Internacionales, la obra compila los trabajos de un grupo de autores dedicados a la investigación y a la asistencia técnica sobre el campo de estudio de la cooperación sur-sur y de la cooperación triangular latinoamericana e iberoamericana. En el contexto de la Agenda 2030 y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, los seis capítulos manifiestan diversas estrategias teóricas y prácticas para decodificar las motivaciones, intereses y objetivos de los diferentes actores inmersos en los procesos de estas modalidades de cooperación. Con una perspectiva crítica, los trabajos de la obra resaltan los desafíos que enfrentan los países del Sur para adaptarse y apropiarse de la Agenda 2030, pero también la existencia de capacidades instaladas y experiencias que brindan un piso de oportunidades para mejorar la eficiencia y la eficacia de la cooperación sur-sur y de la cooperación triangular de mano de actores clave a nivel intergubernamental. Ello conduce a destacar el vínculo entre política exterior, la política de cooperación y su influencia en las actuaciones de los Estados y los diversos actores intergubernamentales en el plano doméstico, así como el relacionamiento entre aquellos y actores del sector privado y organizaciones de la sociedad civil. En conclusión, el libro combina la teoría y la práctica de la cooperación sur-sur y de la cooperación triangular en América Latina e Iberoamérica resaltando, por un lado, la multiplicidad de actores que se sumergen en su implementación desarrollando un juego de roles de acuerdo a intereses que pueden ser conflictivos pero complementarios, y por ...

Smallholder farmers are defined as key actors in the implementation of Agenda 2030, based on their importance for food security and poverty reduction, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is also true for South Africa, where smallholder farming has attracted considerable policy attention in an attempt to break the trend of rural poverty and the legacy of the apartheid era. One issue of concern is the long-term decline in arable production in fields, reflecting a wider trend of de-agrarianisation among peasantries and smallholders all over the world. In South Africa this withdrawal from field cultivation is compensated to an extent by intensification in garden cultivation. This thesis explores how smallholders perceive the role of these two different crop cultivation practices in their daily lives. The empirical data were collected during an ethnographic field study in rural South Africa in early 2020 using a variety of qualitative research methods. Drawing on the theoretical concepts of lifeworld and system world together with perspectives of livelihoods, the study shows that household agricultural production is being downscaled, with most households prioritising the continuation of garden cultivation. Garden cultivation draws upon capabilities that most households can access and is viewed as a taken-for-granted activity within the lifeworld of smallholders. Field cultivation emerges as a deliberate choice made by households who are able to access sufficient family labour and financial capital. Furthermore, arable production in fields is based on long-term experience of government involvement, resulting in a commonly shared view that a government presence in field farming is something to be expected even today. It would appear that this commonly shared view enables agricultural projects and certified seeds to be introduced that are disembedded from smallholders' local conditions, mirroring a policy belief in a New Green Revolution for Africa. This finding suggests that garden cultivation can serve as an example of crop cultivation that is attuned to local conditions, indicating the direction smallholders could take if they are to fulfil their role as promoters of sustainable development in line with Agenda 2030.

En América Latina cada vez son más los discursos y las prácticas que se ocupan de una transición a un mundo totalmente diferente, de la necesidad de una profunda y creativa transformación cultural e institucional. Ya son muchas las experiencias latinoamericanas que ofrecen alternativas desde abajo para el logro de la autonomía comunitaria y la educación como disyuntiva a las ideas de progreso, desarrollo, crecimiento económico, generación de capital, calidad, entre otras formas de gobierno modernas, mediante las cuales se ponen los sistemas educativos latinoamericanos al servicio del capital transnacional. En este libro de investigación se considera el papel que juega lo educativo en la realización de lo comunal, en el fortalecimiento de las apuestas contrahegemónicas que presentan un alegato fundado y contundente contra el orden dominante y reinventan la democracia.En Colombia la visión predominante es la que considera la educación como un camino para el desarrollo. Actualmente, la educación se encauza al logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible –ODS, los cuales son el producto de las políticas de los Estados y los Organismos Multilaterales. El Estado colombiano se acoge a este marco regulatorio inscrito en la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible y los ODS, la cual integra en sus tres dimensiones social, económica y ambiental, retos a nivel global y nacional. Colombia es uno de los países que lidera la implementación de agendas como ésta, además de las alianzas por el cambio climático y la adopción de estándares mundiales como los desarrollados por la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico –OCDE. A través de los ODS, al país se le pide avanzar sobre metas concretas en pobreza, educación y medio ambiente. A través del Documento CONPES 3918 (DNP, 2018), Colombia establece las metas y las estrategias para el cumplimiento de la Agenda 2030 y los ODS y genera una hoja de ruta para cada una de las metas establecidas, incluyendo indicadores, entidades responsables y los recursos ...

Gut zwei Jahre nach Verkündigung der UN Agenda 2030 und der 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) gibt die Studie einen ersten Überblick, inwiefern die SDGs im deutschen Bildungssystem angekommen sind. Auf Basis von Experteninterviews und Online-Recherchen werden sechs Bildungsbereiche einzeln beleuchtet: Frühkindliche Bildung, Schule, berufliche Bildung, Hochschule, non-formales und informelles Lernen sowie Fort- und Weiterbildung. Bezogen auf die Größe des deutschen Bildungsraumes mit seinen Tausenden von Bildungseinrichtungen auf den verschiedenen Qualifikationsniveaus, lässt sich feststellen, dass die SDGs bislang nur vereinzelt wahrgenommen, kommuniziert und implementiert werden. Die SDGs werden hauptsächlich dort transportiert, wo Themen wie Umwelt- und Naturbildung, Globales Lernen oder Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung schon Pfade angelegt haben. Gleichwohl scheint der Ordnungsrahmen der SDGs den bereits Aktiven Schwung mitzugeben, um an der Umsetzung von nachhaltiger Entwicklung weiterzuarbeiten und ihre Aktivitäten ansprechend darzustellen. Der Beitrag schließt mit einer Übersicht von Handlungsempfehlungen auf der Ebene der Bildungseinrichtungen sowie der Politik. Zum jetzigen Stand kommt es vor allem darauf an, die Nachhaltigkeitsziele in Curricula einzubauen und mit den Fachdisziplinen zu verknüpfen. Dies stellt besonders in den stärker selbstverwalteten Bildungsbereichen eine große Herausforderung dar und ist sowohl abhängig von politischer Unterstützung als auch vom individuellen Engagement beteiligter Akteurinnen und Akteure. (DIPF/Orig.) ; About two years after the United Nations adopted the Agenda 2030 resolution and the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs), the present study gives an overview of the integration of the SDGs in the German educational system. Based on expert interviews and online research, six education sectors are highlighted individually: early childhood education, school education, higher education, vocational education, non-formal and informal education as well as vocational training and continuing education. Compared with the sheer size of the educational sector consisting of thousands of institutions on all educational levels, the SDGs have hardly been perceived, communicated and implemented. The SDGs are generally only being championed by institutions already working on related topics such as environmental education, global education, or education for sustainable development. However, the SDG framework seems to give fresh impetus to the promotion of sustainable development and helps to frame existing initiatives in new appealing ways. The contribution closes with an overview of recommendations for action both from an education policy and an institutional perspective. At the moment the main field of action is to integrate the SDGs into existing curricula and to connect them to established disciplines. The will especially challenge the more self-governed education sectors and is both dependent on political support and on individual commitment. (DIPF/Orig.)

The European Union has taken on the role of global leader in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals set out in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, making substantial efforts to support this ambitious approach at the level of each Member State. The objective of this research is the assessment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) implementation in Bulgaria as well as the existing development potential, given the existing knowledge gap related to this important topic. The data available on Eurostat were processed using dynamic indices and time series analysis based on ARIMA methodology in order to identify the evolution trend of the main indicators associated with the SDGs, as well as the dynamics of progress. The results obtained estimate, for 2030, a degree of fulfillment of the assumed targets of 36.28%, but also reveal the existence of high potential for accelerating the transition process to a low-carbon economy and a more sustainable and inclusive society.

Signé entre l'UE et le bloc ACP en 2000, l'Accord de Cotonou arrive à son terme en fin 2020 et de fait soulève inévitablement de nombreuses interrogations du fait qu'après 20 ans, les intérêts des parties sont de plus en plus divergents. L'UE par exemple envisage aujourd'hui de traiter directement avec les pays africains séparément du bloc ACP et vice versa. Alors, quelle structure doit avoir le nouvel accord ? Quelles sont les modifications à apporter ? Quels facteurs doivent être pris en compte ? En essai de réponse à ces questions, cette étude se propose de réaliser une évaluation des piliers fondateurs de l'Accord de Cotonou (Aide, Coopération Commerciale et Coopération Politique) sur ses 20 années d'exercice dans le but de déterminer l'écart réel entre les objectifs fixés et ceux atteints. Mais aussi d'examiner les facteurs qui l'ont influencé pour parvenir à souligner les défis à relever dans le cadre futur de la coopération UE-ACP; Abstract: Signed between the EU and the ACP bloc in 2000, the Cotonou Agreement expires by the end of 2020 and indeed inevitably raises many questions because after 20 years, the interests of the parties are increasingly divergent. The EU, for example, is now considering dealing directly with African countries separately from the ACP bloc and vice versa. So, what structure should the new agreement have? What changes need to be made? What factors need to be taken into account? In an attempt to answer these questions, this study attempts to carry out an evaluation of the founding pillars of the Cotonou Agreement (Aid, Trade Cooperation and Political Cooperation) over its 20 years of operation in order to determine the real gap between the objectives set and those achieved. But also to examine external factors that have influenced it in order to highlight the challenges to be met in the future framework of EU-ACP cooperation; Resumo: Assinado entre a UE e o bloco ACP em 2000, o Acordo de Cotonou expira no final de 2020 e, de facto, levanta inevitavelmente muitas questões porque, passados 20 anos, os interesses das partes são cada vez mais divergentes. A UE, por exemplo, está agora a considerar tratar diretamente com os países africanos separadamente do bloco ACP e vice-versa. Que estrutura deverá ter o novo acordo? Que mudanças precisam de ser feitas? Que fatores devem ser tidos em conta? Numa tentativa de responder a estas questões, este estudo propõe a realização de uma avaliação dos pilares fundadores do Acordo de Cotonou (Ajuda, Cooperação Comercial e Cooperação Política) ao longo dos seus 20 anos de funcionamento, a fim de determinar o verdadeiro fosso entre os objetivos estabelecidos e os atingidos. Mas também para examinar os fatores que a influenciaram a fim de realçar os desafios a enfrentar no futuro quadro de cooperação UE-ACP.

A Agenda 2030 para o desenvolvimento sustentável chama a atenção para oportunidades de aprendizagem ao longo de seu processo de implementação. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi realizar uma análise bibliométrica para identificar as ações e abordagens nas pesquisas sobre a implementação dos Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) em IES, no período de 2015 a 16 de novembro de 2021, além de identificar a evolução temporal das publicações e os termos mais frequentes. A base de dados utilizada foi a Scopus, da qual identificou-se os estudos mais relevantes e os periódicos que mais publicaram sobre o assunto. A análise dos resultados – apoiada pelo aplicativo Biblioshiny – se deu a partir de 54 artigos científicos, publicados em 20 periódicos e escritos por 211 autores e coautores. Constatou-se que a abordagem mais utilizada é qualitativa e a estratégia de pesquisa mais frequente é estudo de caso.

El cumplimiento de la Agenda 2030 requiere de cambios sustanciales en la estructura y funcionamiento del sistema de cooperación español. La nueva Ley 1/2023 supone un primer paso en esta dirección, dotando a la cooperación financiera de mayor flexibilidad y autonomía para crear un sistema más ágil e innovador. No obstante, una comparativa con otros modelos europeos (Alemania, Holanda y Francia) dan muestra de mayor capital y diversidad de instrumentos financieros, así como de innovadoras alianzas público-privadas capaces de diseñar e implementar nuevas modalidades de cooperación financiera. De esto modo, la Cooperación Española debe considerar nuevos mecanismos como los ya diseñados en otros países europeos que le permitan incrementar el músculo financiero, la tipología de proyectos y el impacto al tiempo de que la hagan catalizadora de la inversión de impacto. en nuestro país.
