“…These latter characteristics may be crucial when it comes to this generation's perception of the concept of sustainable development and the implementation of its doctrine, as they don't pay attention to personal gain and the desire for profit. However, most of the studies that considered the impact of Generation Z, or youth, on sustainability, dealt with aspects of youth preference for sustainable products, business innovation, seeking employment in companies supporting sustainability, or other market and industry-based observations (De Feis 2018;Amesheva et al 2019;Amoako et al 2020;Pimonenko et al 2020). For people belonging to this generation, influenced by their greater social awareness and sense of responsibility, it is becoming more important to fight for the common good for present and future generations.…”

Nowadays, the pace of social and economic development is constantly growing, which has led to many negative effects. In order to stop this negative impact, reference should be made to the assumptions of sustainable development (SD), and young people – Generation Z – should be considered its main promoters. The main objective of this article is to present Generation Z’s perception of sustainable development in Poland. A Computer-assisted web interviewing survey (CAWI, N=1172) was conducted to understand the basic demographics, general issues, SD in a daily context, and SD-related knowledge in 936 cities of Poland. The results have shown that Generation Z in Poland recognises the social and inclusive role of SD. Cost of commodities, social disparities and conflict, and disrupted economic growth were identified as the emerging challenges for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Polish cities.

Youth are already having an impact on community change. Youth-led non-profit organizations (YLO) empower young citizens to design and implement effective, innovative, and sustainable development initiatives. In this illustrative case study, we highlight the ability of Lebanese youth-led organizations to engage in service innovation and promote the advancement of sustainable development objectives for their society. We present examples of social innovation and sustainable development ecosystems. Finally, we frame our approach with a service-dominant logic as an interpretative framework and provide illustrative cases to draw on our learnings and articulate the role of YLOs in defining the agenda for sustainable development in inclusive service innovation.

“…Well-functioning and transparent organisations are crucial in getting things correct and creating a well-balanced and predictable business environment essential to fuel expenditure, create jobs and facilitate the creation of higher value items and services within an economy (Drzeniek-Hanouz, 2015). It is reflective of a complete change in emphasis to even more meaningful and inclusive financial growth around the world not only about expanding national economies but by making sure the many vulnerable people in the culture are reached (Thakkar, 2015;Amesheva et al, 2019). For example, for businesses to show their function in sustainable advancement and be a robust force for social good, they need to be seen to improve the efficiency of economies through diversification, technological upgrading and development, encourage formalisation and development of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.…”
