This chapter aims to analyze a strategic transformational transition of green economy, green growth, and sustainable development from the institutional perspective. The analysis begins questioning the implications of the concepts and principles of green economy, green growth, and sustainable development from different perspectives in the transformational transition considering the investment, trade, and capacity building though the design and implementation of strategies and policies as well as measures from an institutional analysis. The methodology followed was the analytical review of the literature to derive inferences, challenges, proposals, and conclusions. It is concluded that the green economy concept addresses current challenges delivering economic development opportunities and multiple benefits for the welfare of all human beings.

The paper compares frequently used methods for sustainable development assessing. We studied the systems of sustainable development indicators for assessing its individual areas (in particular, economic, environmental and social), and also analyzed aggregate indices designed for a comprehensive assessment of development both at the macro level and at the level of specific individual territorial units. For each methodology, the structures of index systems were presented with their breakdown into spheres and blocks / categories, and the main disadvantages of each methodology were determined. Among the methodologies considered are the following: the methodology proposed by the Global Biopact, indicator systems from the OECD Green Growth Strategy and World Bank indicators. The work carried out a structural analysis and explored the content of aggregated indices: Social Progress Index, Environmental Efficiency Index, Global Climate Change Adaptation Index and Human Development Index. The listed systems of indicators and indices are used at the global level, their use for Ukraine needs to be adapted. The adaptation of such techniques to the Ukrainian realities was shown on the example of a system of indicators based on the goals of sustainable development. Each goal has a number of tasks, the implementation of which is necessary to achieve it. For each task, several indicators are proposed for assessing the level of their implementation, an analysis of these indicators showed that for Ukraine, metadata has not been defined for indicators for most of the goals. In the above methods, indicators for assessing the bioeconomic direction (with the exception of biodiversity) are almost not presented, therefore, the development of a model for assessing the biosocial economy requires the inclusion of indicators characterizing bioresources, biotechnologies, and bioenergy. Key words: index, indicator, sustainable development, biosocial economy, bioeconomics, biodiversity, sustainable development goals.

Indicator Systems

As a resource-intensive industry, the policy, processes and practices in relation to sustainable development of the construction industry is critical. An important theoretical and practical concern is the creation of indicator systems that assist with the measurement of sustainable urban development. Past research and practice has tended to focus on the measurement of sustainability of the construction projects in relation to the individual projects or at the organizational level. This paper introduces a new measurement of sustainable development for construction industry as a whole so that countries can make comparisons. The model is based on the previous research, the fundamental meaning of sustainable development and the characteristics of the construction industry.

New Instruments

As the latest iteration of leveraging private resources to protect and sustain our natural resources, the environmental impact bond (EIB) reflects the growing trend in sustainable development that makes financing available to projects based on the verifiable results of an intervention. These new instruments in global environmental governance are not actually bonds but pay-for-success contracts, in which the risk of success is shouldered by the investor, and financial savings, pegged to the intervention outcome, are prioritized. This examination of EIBs through the lens of accountability aims to elicit debate on some areas of concern and consideration for the design and implementation of outcome-based financing for global environmental governance, including the prioritizing of private over public accountabilities and potential perverse incentives these instruments create. As both public and private accountability goals are evident in EIB, this governance tool runs the risk of exacerbating the paradox of increased accountability but decreased environmental gains.

The problem of Lithuanian derelict and mismanaged rural buildings that have a negative influence on the economy and environment of the country is analysed in the paper. Revitalisation of unused rural buildings is analysed in a context of sustainable development. Factors determining distribution and revitalisation perspectives of unused buildings were established by using methods of mathematical statistics. It was estimated that the peculiarities of territorial distribution are different in various zones of different development activity, also they differ according to the uses of buildings. Analytical review of sustainability indicator systems was performed. The model of indicator system for revitalisation of derelict rural buildings is proposed in the paper. This indicator system was worked out according to the common principles of sustainable development and to local peculiarities, explored by analysing territorial distribution of objects. It is possible to rate the priorities of building revitalisation alternatives by using the proposed model of the system with the help of multiple criteria decision-making methods. Due to incomplete and inconsistent information regarding sustainable development, the author suggests to use fuzzy set theory.

A E. Crassipes is considered a problem in different aquatic ecosystems, due to its abundance could become a solution to design and build economic and efficient treatment plants, and especially for the production of biofuels such as bioethanol. The objective of this research is to design and implement a sustainable development process between phytoremediation and bioethanol production with E. crassipes, evaluating the incidence of chromium adhered to the biomass of this plant in the production of bioethanol. Materials and methods: A system was installed to evaluate the phytoremediation with E crassipes with water loaded with chromium, determining the effectiveness of this plant to remove this heavy metal even if it is alive in a body of water. After this process, we proceeded to bring the biomass loaded with chromium to bioreactors to evaluate the production of bioethanol, assessing three types of biomass, one without chromium adhered and the other two with chromium adhered to its plant structure. There was an impact of the ethanol production of the E crassipes due to the presence of chromium, but this production can be taken into account for the assembly of an integral system of phytoremediation and bioethanol production, making the most of this biomass.
