The article reveals the expediency of revising the fundamental provisions of the formation of the food security system of low-income countries, since the world food system is significantly vulnerable to crisis-forming factors. The problem of the imbalance of the world's food systems and, consequently, the change in the production model in low-income countries is substantiated. It is proposed to study the impact of the war between Russia and Ukraine on the world’s food security, in particular: to outline the main stages of the formation of Ukraine as a guarantor of food security in the world food system; to determine the impact of the war on the production and export of agricultural goods; to analyse the food situation in developing and low-income countries; to model the impact of inflation on the food security in developing and low-income countries; to form scenarios for ensuring Ukraine's food security in the short- and long-term periods. Food inflation rate, Core Consumer Price Index and Consumer Price Index have been selected for the analysis of the inflationary impact.

This paper selected the data of 284 prefectural-level cities in China in the time range of 2011 to 2020 as the research sample, and established an index system of sustainable development consisting of 22 indicators including economic development, social progress, ecological environment and public institutions and so on, to comprehensive evaluate the sustainability of the cities. Total annual investment in pollution control is selected as the proxy variable of reform, and annual actual amount of foreign investment used is selected as the proxy variable of opening-up, to empirically explore the impact of the two on sustainable development. The results of empirical analysis show that reform and opening-up has a significant positive impact on sustainable development. After fixing time and individual effect, it is found that the effect of reform is more prominent. Regional heterogeneity analysis shows that, the impact strength of reform and opening-up in the east is larger than that in the middle and west of China. To study the spatial auto-correlation and spillover effect, Moran’s I was calculated and spatial Durbin model was constructed based on the weight matrix of geographical distance, which produced the results that spatial agglomeration is evident for sustainability, and that reform has a significant positive spillover effect. Further, considering the time auto-correlation of sustainability, a dynamic panel model is established, and dynamic threshold regression is carried out. Results show that lag effect of sustainability is significant, and a certain threshold must reform reach can sustainable development be promoted. This paper puts forward several policy suggestions in terms of formulating effective sustainable development strategy, to provide insights for new-pattern urbanization in the future.

This work evaluates the crucial aspects of sustainable development (SD) related to wellbeing and quality of life, which were measured by twenty-two relevant indicators (indices) in a sample of 31 countries over the period 2010 – 2019. All the pillars of SD are reflected, while the indicators applied either reflect one of these dimensions, i.e. the economic, social or environmental pillar of SD, or two/all of them. Several of these indicators also measure specific aspects encompassed by the particular pillars, which are of great importance for SD and have to be included. These include especially health and inequality, which belong to the social pillar of SD, and are reflected in several indicators used. Furthermore, the indicator of subjective happiness is included as well. Principal component analysis (PCA) and parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) are the main methods used to analyse relationships between twenty-two indicators (composite indices) reflecting crucial aspects of SD, wellbeing, and quality of life in the sample. Three stages of both analyses were carried out. For both of them similar results were identified. Principal component 1 (for PCA)/component 1 (for PARAFAC) divided the sample into the less and the more developed countries, since the positive contribution was predominantly determined by the socioeconomic, wellbeing and the more complex environmental or SD indicators, which are predominantly the highest (high) in the more developed countries. On the contrary, the negative contribution was determined by the pollution damage indicators, which are the highest in the less developed countries. Principal component 2 (for PCA)/component 2 (for PARAFAC) divided the sample according to a crucial aspect of the social pillar of SD, i.e. quality of health, particularly reflected in Healthy life years at birth (HLY), which has also poor results in the many developed countries. At the third stage this component is determined by the environmental indicators reflecting resource depletion/consumption and also pollution damages in monetary values, being crucial for SD, since a number of them had the highest values in the developed countries.

While evaluating the concept of well-being for sustainability, which is defined as the feeling of having the physical and psychological resources necessary for a good life, it is essential to benefit from different perspectives referring to socio-psychological factors or their possible effects as well as financial and economic data. The aim of this study, which deals with the well-being level in terms of sustainability resources, is to evaluate the OECD countries and examine the differences and similarities in Japan, one of the G8 countries. According to the results of the multidimensional scaling analysis conducted for this purpose, Japan is in the same cluster as Luxembourg, which has the highest positive value, while Germany is one of the countries with the highest rate of divergence from other G8 countries in the difference matrix.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate and analyse the significance of the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach (SLA) and its application to rural development projects and policies. A literature review is conducted, with the primary focus being on the primary components of the SLA. The researchers noted that the SLA effectively interrogates the livelihoods of the poor and the various mechanisms in the approach. These mechanisms include all forms of capital, the vulnerability aspect, livelihood strategies, and outcomes, as well as the different laws and regulations governing the access and use of resources. The research also noted that the SLA effectively addresses the poor’s vulnerabilities. Scholarly heavy hitters like Chambers and Scoones (1992) have pointed out that this method is all-encompassing and hierarchical. The methodology has demonstrated in a theoretical sense that it is beneficial in understanding the livelihoods problem of the less fortunate in rural communities. It is strongly suggested that the government and its development partners adopt and incorporate the SLA into their policies to ensure sustainable livelihoods leading to sustainable development.

Renewable energy policy is one of the remarkable parts of the sustainable development path. However, the political-economic dimension of renewable energy policies is not so much widely discussed. Besides, democracy and globalization are essential factors affecting renewable energy. Hence, this paper examines the relationship between renewable energy consumption, democracy, and globalization in the Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) during the period 1995-2021. Economic growth and CO2 emissions are used as control variables in the model. The study employs the panel vector autoregressive (PVAR) estimation technique to quantify the relationship between renewable energy consumption, democracy, and globalization by including economic growth and CO2 emissions. The findings from the PVAR analysis suggest that participatory democracy and globalization positively affect renewable energy consumption, while liberal democracy, economic growth, and CO2 emissions have a negative impact on it. Furthermore, the PVAR Granger causality test outcomes indicate an interactive causal relationship between variables.

Adapting historical city buildings into modern facilities is a basic problem in architecture today. In many large cities, historical centers preserve cultural heritage, including spiritual, cultural, economic, and social capital of irreplaceable value. Because of their importance, these centers must consider the unique characteristics of their surroundings, including harmony of size, spatial composition, architectural environment, facades, and the facilities in general. Disharmony in the architectural design of these centers is evident in the non-compliance of new objects, particularly in historical areas of the city. The restoration, reconstruction, and repair of these historical sites require special knowledge. Experts with this special knowledge can implement modern methods, strategic and operational modes of architecture, and public programs to preserve the historical and cultural values of these sites, thus preserving them for the future, which follows the sustainable development concept. The main conclusion of the research is that unique modern buildings, including novel architectural and constructive elements, can coexist with historical ones by using right policies and methods.

Despite the valuable economic benefits of tourism, it must be highlighted that the tourism industry is an important source of stress for the environment with the main influence on tourist destinations. The aim of this study is to investigate the elements of environmental sustainability in tourism as key factors in the competitiveness of tourism using entropy methods. According to the authors’ knowledge, it is the first time that the entropy model applied to Environmental sustainability indicators, regarding entropy as a measure of non-uniformity among sustainability indicators of EU countries. The data of the EU were used and Environmental sustainability pillar of the Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index. The results show that the total entropy of the competitiveness of tourism within the environmental sustainability sub-index of the EU countries speaks in favor of the uniformity of the indicators. The study also reveals significant differences among the EU27 in the domain of the Global Climate Risk index, Baseline water stress and Forest cover loss. Furthermore, convergence has been achieved so far in the indicators Red List Index and Environmental treaty ratification. Finally, the methodological approach of this study has the potential to be extrapolated worldwide, especially in the future era of global environmental problems.

Green Marketing is not a novel concept in the field of marketing. The American Marketing Association designates green marketing as an essential tool of marketing that promotes environmentally friendly products. In line with this thought, the present study attempts to show that green marketing practices entail the core elements of sustainability i.e., social responsibility, environmental concern and economic growth that reinforce in promoting sustainable development. Besides, it also argues that though there are many overarching implications and challenges in green marketing practices yet it substantially contributes in attaining sustainable development goals by incorporating ethical standards in all of its operational antecedents. This study therefore incorporates the notion of transgenerational ethics of Kant’s Categorical Imperative in green marketing approach. In doing so, it would serve as a guiding forum to the contemporary marketers primarily to prevent the absolute anthropocentrism and pragmatically engage the interests of society, economy and environment equitably by inculcating ethical practices in daily phenomena. At the corollary, the argument shows that the imperative of ethics in green marketing would be an ethical and anti-environmental resilient approach for ensuring sustainable business.

The idea of sustainable development did not appear in the eighteenth century for ecological reasons to save the environment or humanitarian reasons to save humanity, but for economic reasons to improve the management of forests and fossil resources. Its creator was Hans Carl v. Carlowitz (1645-1714), a Saxon tax accountant and mining administrator. The idea has always served an economic purpose – constant economic growth as well as increase of productivity and profit. Therefore, it worked best in the sphere of management. Over time, it turned out that one could achieve better economic effects. when one combines economic goals with those that people have always strived for – to create a better world, life and interpersonal relations. This requires care for the good condition of the natural and social environment. Consequently, the idea of sustainable development was coupled with the goals of ecology and sozology. Unfortunately, for various reasons, the modern world is less and less conducive to achieving these goals. Therefore, one can increasingly difficult implement the postulates of sustainable development, even in the sphere of economy. It has become clear that sustainable development is not a panacea for all the ills of the world. The idea of this unrealizable development turned into a myth and a tool to manipulate people's feelings and dreams of a better life. With their help, one mobilizes people to higher and higher productivity, which generates an increase in the enrichment of the financial elite and to the accompanying to it deepening of social inequalities, which are the source of all the evil.
可持续发展的概念出现在18世纪，不是出于拯救环境的生态原因，也不是出于拯救人类的人道主义原因，而是出于改善森林和化石资源管理的经济原因。它的创造者是汉斯·卡尔·v·卡洛维茨(Hans Carl v. Carlowitz, 1645-1714)，一位撒克逊税务会计和采矿管理员。这个想法一直服务于一个经济目的——持续的经济增长以及生产力和利润的增加。因此，它在管理领域效果最好。随着时间的推移，事实证明，人们可以获得更好的经济效果。当一个人将经济目标与人们一直为之奋斗的目标结合起来——创造一个更美好的世界、生活和人际关系。这就需要关心良好的自然和社会环境。因此，可持续发展的理念与生态学和生态学的目标相结合。不幸的是，由于种种原因，现代世界越来越不利于实现这些目标。因此，即使在经济领域，人们也越来越难以实施可持续发展的假设。很明显，可持续发展不是解决世界所有弊病的灵丹妙药。这种不可能实现的发展的想法变成了一个神话，成为操纵人们的感情和对美好生活的梦想的工具。在他们的帮助下，人们被动员到越来越高的生产力，这使得金融精英的财富增加，并伴随着社会不平等的加深，这是所有邪恶的根源。
