“…Currently, there are more than 300 projects, many of them supported by The World Bank Group, connected with using of renewably energy in different states of Africa. "Renewable energy is imperative for Africa's development; however, given that sustainable energy projects in Africa seldomly succeed, it is imperative to ascertain how community acceptance also influences energy projects," write Sarpong Hammond Antwi and Debora Ley in their article Renewable energy project implementation in Africa: Ensuring sustainability through community acceptability [42]. According to the World Bank Senior Energy Specialist David Vilar, who leads the infrastructure programs in Ghana, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, solar technology and renewable energy are at the heart of the climate agenda.…”

The article analyses the problems (dilemmas) in approach to the environmental protection and management. EU has declared the plan for the Great Reset of global economy and environmental politics. The idea is not new, but the approach is expected to be completely different. While the EU leaders set the strategy of centralisation, there are strong claims for opposite way – decentralisation. The second dilemma we analyse in our article is the problem of European Commission massive support of green investments (including using of renewable sources of energy and focus of environmental protection), especially after lockdowns connected with covid pandemic which meets with the strong negative position of those economical circles which see such types of initiatives as green shooting to the economy. Terra Carta as an integral part of Sustainable Markets Initiative was launched in 2020. The third dilemma we pay our attention is connected with the efficiency of new environmental taxes. The article focuses also on the good practice as can be seen in environmental protection management efforts and green solutions for using and saving energy resources. As an examples we assess the projects supporting use of renewable energy in Africa (e.g. Lights for Africa), Cradle to Cradle Program (C2C) and we go back to the Come2CoM. The whole is analysed in the context of corporate social responsibility.

“…Por otro lado, la aceptabilidad comunitaria es de suma importancia para garantizar la sostenibilidad de los proyectos CTeI e I+D+I, lo cual es influenciado por el entorno cultural y social, como lo evidencian Antwi & Ley (2021), en un proyecto de energía renovable en África, en donde proyectos anteriores han carecido de éxito, según los autores, debido a la nula participación de la comunidad. En su estudio, se evidenciaron las interacciones entre personas, tecnologías, comunidades y entes reguladores, lo cual esclareció el potencial de éxito para la implementación de proyectos de este tipo.…”

El modelo conocido como Triple Hélice (Gobierno, Universidad, Industria/Sociedad), promueve el desarrollo de un país a través de la investigación e innovación. En la actualidad no existe una revisión sobre la relación e interacción entre los actores del modelo, centrado en la gestión de proyectos CTeI. Este artículo de tipo exploratorio permite un acercamiento a la gestión de proyectos CTeI bajo el modelo, presentando los referentes teóricos sobre las interacciones, los resultados y beneficios de la cooperación entre los actores, seguido por una revisión de metodologías y marcos de conocimiento en gestión de proyectos aplicado en proyectos CTeI.
