The EU and Agenda 2030

Abstract

as the Organization celebrates its seventieth anniversary, have decided today on new global Sustainable Development Goals. On behalf of the peoples we serve, we have adopted a historic decision on a comprehensive, far-reaching and people-centred set of universal and transformative Goals and targets. We commit ourselves to working tirelessly for the full implementation of this Agenda by 2030. (United Nations, 2015: 4) About 70 years ago, state leaders around the globe decided to create the United Nations (UN) to emphasize the importance of global solidarity and collaboration to provide for peace and prosperity. Today, a new generation of state leaders have decided to work towards sustainable peace and prosperity to safeguard our planet and human dignity. On 25

Examining a theoretical model of eco‐anxiety on consumers' intentions towards green products

“…It infers that Italians are more informative regarding the current environmental crisis and experience remorsefulness accordingly (Dangelico et al, 2021; Mathur, 2009) as compared to Indian consumers. In developed countries, not only are the media interested in adding environmental matters to their daily agenda but also, the policymakers are spending great effort in being in line with global standards and regulations (Silander, 2020). Contrarily, in developing countries like India, managers of sustainable organisations have to consider that they should, in partnership with the media, develop reliable coverage of global warming, leverage trustworthy sources, and boost the public opinion's engagement among a mainly unaware population if they want consumers to be more prone to buy green products (Thaker et al, 2017).…”

An extended approach to impact assessment in the Horizon 2020 digital manufacturing domain

“…Consequently, digital platforms - as one example of enabling technologies – are an important feature of the digitalisation programme. Platforms which employ a federation approach arguably offer improved diversity and demand-led development in a wide range of industry sectors ( Silander, 2020 ; Silander, 2019 ). Examples such as Google and IBM have successfully demonstrated economic benefits by increasing net profits resulting from the creation of a quasi-federation of interrelated platforms (search, social-media, email, cloud storage, documents management, etc) ( Farrand, 2014 ).…”

“…Examples such as Google and IBM have successfully demonstrated economic benefits by increasing net profits resulting from the creation of a quasi-federation of interrelated platforms (search, social-media, email, cloud storage, documents management, etc) ( Farrand, 2014 ). Furthermore, digital platforms, their methodologies, and the services/tools/products they may lead to are argued to be a key enabler for other EU challenges, for example in reducing climate change impacts and in improving education ( Silander, 2020 ; Silander, 2019 ). It is for these reasons that one pillar of the H2020 programme was devoted to digital platforms, and why impact assessment of innovation projects awarded within that programme is of interest.…”

Política de cohesión y desequilibrios socioeconómicos interterritoriales en la Europa del Sur durante los últimos veinte años. Los casos de Piamonte, Comunidad Valenciana y Sicilia

“…Esta política se centra en la inversión económica en los diferentes territorios tratando de aumentar su competitividad, la creación de puestos de trabajo, el desarrollo sostenible y la mejora de la calidad de vida (Comisión Europea, 2017). Dichas inversiones guardan relación, a su vez, con la Agenda 2030, definida a nivel internacional por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (Berishvili, 2020;Silander, 2020). Para ello, la UE entrega esta inversión a las unidades territoriales estadísticas correspondientes (NUTS-2) que gestionan de manera individual para cada región dicha financiación en base a los ejes prioritarios marcados por cada una de ellas.…”
