“…On the other hand, statistical criteria were used to select indicators within each thematic area). From each thematic area, one of the variables for which the correlation coefficient exceeded the threshold value of r* = 0.7 (D5, G3) was eliminated (if the correlation coefficient takes a value from 0.7 to 0.9, then the relationship between the studied variables is significant, while if it is above 0.9, then the relationship is very strong [4]). Two highly correlated variables (correlation coefficient ≥ 0.7) convey similar information (in this case, the correlation is equivalent to carrying the same information about the studied regions); therefore, one of them was eliminated.…”

“…In addition, the deepening disparities between the highly developed and the developing countries have become significant in terms of the quality of their inhabitants' lives [1,2]. Sustainable development of regions is a complex process, which includes changes in both the quantitative and qualitative aspects taking place in the sphere of social, economic, and environmental activities [3][4][5][6]. The process of regional development takes place in changing conditions, which include endogenous factors related to the effective use of the internal economic and social potential of the region, as well as exogenous conditions, which undoubtedly include the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

The aim of the paper is to conduct research and present the results of a taxonomic analysis assessing the 2019 and 2020 implementations of socio-economic sustainability goals in the Lubuskie Province as compared with other Polish regions. To this end, a multidimensional comparative analysis was performed to determine the level of socio-economic development of the Lubuskie Province and then benchmark it against other regions in the context of sustainable development. The research was based on independent indicators developed with the use of linear ordering methods and accounting for aspects of socio-economic development such as the economic potential, innovation of the economy, sustainable production patterns, demographic changes, job market, and social integration. Synthetic measures were developed with the use of the proposed partial indicators (independent variables), which, according to the authors, best illustrate the socio-economic development and sustainability at the regional level. The regions were then grouped by level of economic development, and the groupings were assessed for their performance. The research shows that in 2020, compared to 2019, the overall level of economic development deteriorated in all Polish regions, but the pandemic has so far had significantly less impact on the social area.

Sustainability Matters in National Development Visions—Evidence from Saudi Arabia’s Vision for 2030

Sustainability

Sustainability advocates for a universally shared common vision of progress towards a society that is just, safe and sustainable for humanity. Beyond environmental protection, the concept recognizes the urgent need to improve life quality through strategies that build socio-economic growth and address a wide range of cross cutting issues. While consensus abound that a more sustainable society serves everyone, opinions on what sustainability means and how it can be achieved are diverse. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), through the 2030 Vision and the 2020 National Transformation Program (NTP) outlines an agenda for a more balanced growth and socio-economic development. The extent to which the vision systematically aligns with sustainability principles, however, remains unexplored. This research is a maiden attempt to investigate how much sustainability substance is in the 2030 Vision and the NTP of Saudi Arabia. The Sustainable Society Index (SSI) has been employed to examine the 2030 Vision and the NTP to understand the Kingdom's commitment to building resilient, inclusive and sustainable societies. The vision and NTP texts were matched against five broad measures and 22 sub-measures of the SSI to identity the points of convergence. While both the 2030 Vision and the NTP align with the SSI measures in some respect, the goals and objectives are, at best, a reflection of the needs, aspirations and context of Saudi Arabia. The paper concludes that the success of the 2030 Vision rests on the active involvement and empowerment of relevant stakeholders at all levels as well as the development of comprehensive assessment mechanisms based on which to measure progress towards sustainability.

The paper presents the significance of environmental projects for economic growth and society. The paper deals with the basic characteristics of environmental projects and project management based on systematic literature review, and presents the current state of project management for environment protection at the local level in the Republic of Serbia, as a result of empirical research. The main findings showed that different measures need to be taken aiming to have more project applications at the local level in field of environment protection and to improve project management practice that jointly can contribute the economic growth. Based on the main findings, the paper also provides recommendations on improving environmental project management at the local level in Serbia.
