The Agenda 2030 and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have directed increased political attention to forests and their sustainable management globally. Forest concessions are a predominant instrument for the sustainable management of public production natural forests in the tropics, but the relationship between the SDGs and forest concessions is poorly explored. Knowledge of this relationship could facilitate aligning tropical forest concession regimes with the SDGs. This research was conducted by means of an online survey, expert interviews and four regional stakeholder workshops to examine (i) how forest concessions can support the implementation of the SDGs; and (ii) what are the key barriers hindering the potential contributions of forest concessions to the SDG. The findings revealed three broad pathways through which forest concessions can support the implementation of the SDGs: (i) sustainable use and management of ecosystem goods and services as the core business; (ii) provision of public goods for socioeconomic development; and (iii) contribution to (sub) national economies through income, employment and fiscal obligations. The paper identifies region-specific (Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia) technical, legal, governance and institutional barriers limiting the potential contributions. Among these, the key barriers are unclear and conflicting tenure, and the lack of available technical and qualified personnel. The paper concludes that the contributions of forest concessions to the SDGs depend on governance context and the clear use of the instrument to deliver such objectives as better planned and implemented concessions and binding concession contracts. The paper also provides recommendations for aligning forest concessions with the SDGs.

Abstract Land governance plays a key role in this regard in terms of setting the policies and the legal and institutional framework for managing the rights, restrictions and responsibilities in land facing the challenges of sustainable use of land and other natural resources. Gender issues are at the core of some of those policies (including legal principles and institutional frameworks) which are regulated under land governance. For instance, ensuring gender equity for land and property rights is a key principle\ in the governance of land. This chapter looks at the role land governance and gender play in support of the Global Agenda 2030. The chapter begins by introducing land governance and gender. This is followed by their relationships and connections with the SDGs. Then their roles and challenges encountered in their roles.

Modeling an aquifer provides significant advantages when evaluating and estimating the water resource for its sustainable use. This study focuses on the rural parish Manglaralto, a semi-arid area with a shortage of water, and without supply service by the public network. Still, it has a great demand for supply by the local and floating population (tourism). This has caused the coastal aquifer, which supplies the area’s water, to show signs of overexploitation, and its natural balance is compromised. The aim is to establish a geometric model of the aquifer through geological and geophysical analysis to set sustainable water-use guidelines. The methodology includes: (i) the processing of the current technical and hydrogeological information to know the aquifer’s data; (ii) geometric modeling of the aquifer through the correlation of technical information, using the GeoModeller software; (iii) proposals for the sustainable use of water in the framework of the United Nations’ Agenda 2030. The geometric model results reveal that the aquifer’s thickness varies from 4 m at the head of the river to 30 m at the sea’s mouth. The volume of water is estimated at 13.6 Hm3. The sustainable-use proposals ensure that more than half of the population receives the community company’s service. More than 40% of the territory is a protected area, and 64% of the population has sewerage service. This geometric model is a visual contribution that allows us to know the aquifer’s shape and establishes guidelines that help strengthen the water supply’s development and sustainability over time.

Zrównoważony rozwój jako droga harmonijnego rozwoju, bez ograniczania szans na zaspokojenie potrzeb rozwojowych przyszłym pokoleniom, został wskazany po raz pierwszy w 1987 r. przez Światową Komisję do Spraw Środowiska i Rozwoju. Przesłanką zrównoważonego rozwoju było powiązanie rozwoju gospodarczego i społecznego z ekologicznym przy zachowaniu jakości życia w czystym środowisku. Założenia zrównoważonego rozwoju zostały określone na forum ONZ (Agenda 21), które w okresie 30 lat są weryfikowane i aktualizowane (Agenda 2030). Koncepcja zrównoważonego rozwoju od początku była adresowana do przedsiębiorstw, chociaż ze względu na duży poziom ogólności proces implementacji przebiegał powoli. Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju jako paradygmatu we współczesnym zarządzaniu przedsiębiorstwem. Dyskusja założeń i interpretacji koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju na poziomie makro- i mikroekonomicznym umożliwiła identyfikację celów i kryteriów oceny zrównoważonego rozwoju przedsiębiorstw. Ewaluacja celów i dokonań zrównoważonego rozwoju przedsiębiorstw pozwala uznać go, za paradygmat współczesnego zarządzania.

This article aims to find out the developmentidea or paradigm through village financial management based on Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. In this study, the researcher used a normative research methodby examining the village regulations in depth. Primary legal materials are authoritatuve legal materials in the form of laws and regulations. Village dependence is the most obvious violence against village income or financial sources. Various financial assistance from the government has made the village dependent on financial sources from the government. The use of regional development funds is intended to support activities in the management of Regional Development organizations. Therefore, development funds should be managed properly and smoothly, as well as can be used effectively to increase the people economy in the regions. This research shows that the law was made to regulate and support the development of local economic potential as well as the sustainable use of natural resources and the environment, and that the village community has the right to obtain information and monitor the planning and implementation of village development.

Water governance and management are important challenges for the River Indus Basin in Pakistan. Water governance refers to social, political and economic factors that influence water management. The water scarcity and water security are a major concern for the state to control its water resources. The study aims to give Sindh water policy by exploring the challenges to Indus Basin in managing water resources and to identify opportunities Indus Basin can look to improve water management. Interviews were conducted from water experts and analysts having 5 years’ experience or more in the water sector of Pakistan through a semi-structured self-developed questionnaire using purposive sampling technique and transcripts were analyzed using thematic content analysis. The findings show that increasing population, climatic change and rising demand of water are major challenges Indus is facing and Indus with time is getting water-scarce therefore need strong institutions, civil society and legislatures to ensure equitable distribution of water and maintain the ecosystem. The study emphasizes that water governance and management are necessary for sustainable use of water. Pakistan, the water stress country needs to address ‘governance’ at a wider scale to solve problems in the Indus Basin for the livelihood of people. The research will benefit the state, water experts, institutions as well as civil society to promote efficient use of water in Indus Basin.
