Sustainability ideas are implemented in almost all areas of life, not only into the economic and social life. However, the ways to sustainable development quantifying are still relatively complicated and incomplete. One of the possibilities of assessment and achievement of sustainable development and sustainability can be considered assessment using the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) presented in Agenda 2030. The aim of the paper is to assess the similarity of the EU countries in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals according to 2030 Agenda.

Η παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή έχει στόχο την παραγωγή και διακίνηση εκπαιδευτικού υλικού και μεθόδων που ενισχύουν την συνεργασία βαθμίδων εκπαίδευσης και την Εκπαίδευση για την Αειφόρο Ανάπτυξη (ΕΑΑ). Η επιλογή διδασκαλίας από απόσταση σύγχρονων θεμάτων Φυσικής στο πλαίσιο της ΕΑΑ και η έρευνα του κατάλληλου πλαισίου από το οποίο μπορεί να επιτευχθεί αυτό είναι ένα από τα αντικείμενα έρευνας. Η εκπαίδευση από απόσταση είναι ένα από τα αντικείμενα μελέτης για πολλούς λόγους που θα αναφερθούν παρακάτω, αλλά ένας από τους κυριότερους είναι ότι καθίσταται ο μοναδικός τρόπος να πετύχουμε δίαυλο επικοινωνίας και άμεση συνεργασία με τις υπόλοιπες βαθμίδες εκπαίδευσης (μαθητές, εκπαιδευτικούς) σε διάφορα γεωγραφικά μέρη. Η παρούσα διατριβή σχεδιάζει και υλοποιεί εκπαιδευτικά πρότυπα που ασχολούνται με διαφορετικά σύγχρονα θέματα επιστήμης και μελετά - αναλύει την αποτελεσματικότητα συνδυασμού συγκεκριμένων μαθησιακών εργαλείων που εξυπηρετούν το κάθε πρότυπο, τα εργαλεία επικοινωνίας και την αλληλεπίδραση των μαθητών και εκπαιδευτικών στα άτυπα αυτά εκπαιδευτικά περιβάλλοντα. Η διατριβή βασίζεται σε τέσσερις βασικούς πυλώνες και αναλύονται με την ακόλουθη σειρά: ένταξη σύγχρονων θεμάτων επιστήμης, σε τυπική και μη μορφή, στο σχολικό πλαίσιο, δημιουργία δράσεων που συμβάλλουν στην Εκπαίδευση για την Αειφόρο Ανάπτυξη και υπηρετούν τους στόχους της Agenda 2030 (agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs), χρήση εξ αποστάσεως εργαλείων και πρακτικών, ένταξη Problem Oriented Project Based Learning μεθόδου υπό το κατάλληλο πλαίσιο στα παραγώμενα διδακτικά πρότυπα Βασιζόμενοι στους πυλώνες αυτούς διερευνάται το κατάλληλο blended e- learning διδακτικό πρότυπο που πρέπει να δημιουργηθεί ώστε να αποσκοπεί στην ΕΑΑ, επιλέγοντας την προβληματοκεντρική διερεύνηση ενός σύγχρονου θέματος για την αειφορία και την βιωσιμότητα και συνδυάζοντας αριθμό συγκεκριμένων εξ αποστάσεως μαθησιακών και επικοινωνιακών εργαλείων.

AbstractThe European Union (EU) is trying to accelerate the transition from the current linear economy to a circular economy (CE). In fact, the CE is considered a tool to attain sustainable development goals (SDGs). In this sense, this paper aims at analysing the interaction between the CE and SDGs in the context of the new 2030 Agenda and the European CE strategy; thus contributing to the scarce empirical literature that links the potential of the European CE strategy to the achievement of the SDGs set by the 2030 Agenda. Three specific research questions have been formulated. First, could the objectives defined in the 2030 Agenda be considered homogeneous, and could they uniquely measure the concept of sustainability? Second, are there significant correlations between the implementation of a CE in the EU and the SDGs? Finally, is the behaviour of the 28 countries that make up the EU homogeneous in terms of the results of the initiatives aimed at the implementation of a CE? From these questions, nine hypotheses are put forward concerning the possible relationships between a CE implementation and the fulfilment of SDGs in the EU. Using a correlation analysis, an exploratory factor analysis, and a cluster analysis, it has been demonstrated that (a) SDGs do not univocally measure the concept of sustainability; (b) there are significant relationships between CE and SDGs in the EU; (c) the behaviour of these European countries is not homogeneous.

Whether smartphone, smart home or smart city—digitalisation determines almost all areas of our lives today. The topic of sustainability is also omnipresent in 2019 and numerous challenges associated with it are currently being discussed. Digitalisation and sustainability can thus be regarded as the two megatrends of the 21st century. The question of whether digitalisation is an instrument for achieving sustainable development is increasingly at the centre of the debate. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) developed by the United Nations as part of the 2030 Agenda are of particular interest for assessing digitalisation as a potential means of achieving sustainable development. With the help of empirical work by students from the University of Kaiserslautern, this edited volume provides answers to the question of how different digital technologies can help to achieve these 17 goals.

Abstract Energy and climate issues are an essential part of the sustainable development process of the EU countries. They are also one of the primary objectives of international policy, as evidenced by their inclusion in Agenda 2030, adopted by the UN in 2015 among the Sustainable Development Goals. The implementation of these goals is also taking place in the EU countries. Although climate protection and energy transition activities have been undertaken in the EU for years, individual countries significantly vary in this regard. The aim of the research, the results of which are presented in this paper, was to analyze similarities between the EU countries in terms of sustainable energy and climate development. The analysis was conducted for all EU countries, based on 14 indicators characterizing energy and climate sustainability, in energy, climate, social and economic dimensions. Kohonen’s artificial neural networks were used for analysis. The research was conducted for data from the period between 2009-2018. The results showed that in the studied period (10 years), significant differences were found between the EU countries. A high level of energy and climate development was reported for Sweden, Denmark, Austria and France, among other states, and a low level for e.g., the Czech Republic, Poland and Bulgaria.

Los desafíos del Antropoceno generan presiones por la planificación, fomento y aplicación de innovadores cambios económicos, éticos, políticos y sociales. La propuesta del Desarrollo Sostenible, a pesar de insistir en un crecimiento económico ilimitado con fundamento en la teoría capitalista, y, de su enfoque antropocéntrico, a través de la Agenda 2030 y sus Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) se ha establecido como el punto de referencia para el desarrollo global futuro. No obstante, las críticas al concepto y su operatividad son varias. El presente ensayo ofrece una reflexión crítica de este concepto y de su propia sostenibilidad y, a partir de ella, con relación a los ODS y su interconexión con la gestión integrada de recursos hídricos (GIRH), se discute de manera descriptiva la forma de hacerlo operativo a través del análisis con indicadores de gestión. Enfoques holísticos y complejos son comunes entre Desarrollo Sostenible y GIRH, por lo que sus dinámicas y abordajes hacia la operatividad en el ámbito de la sostenibilidad, también podrían serlo.Palabras Clave: Antropoceno, Desarrollo Sostenible, Economía Política, Naturaleza, Recursos Hídricos. AbstractThe challenges of the Anthropocene generate pressures for the planning, promotion and application of pioneering economic, ethical, political and social changes. The Sustainable Development proposal, despite persist on unlimited economic growth based on capitalist theory, and, of its anthropocentric viewpoint, through the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has been established as the point of reference for future global development. Nevertheless, there are several criticisms of the concept and its operability. This essay offers a critical reflection of this concept and of its own sustainability, and based on it, in relation to the SDGs and their interconnection with the integrated management of water resources (IWRM), the way to make it operational is discussed in a descriptive way through the analysis with management indicators. Holistic and complex outlooks are common between Sustainable Development and IWRM, so their dynamics and approaches to operability in the field of sustainability could also be.

In 2015, the UN adopted the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of universal goals in key areas of action linked to sustainable development. The SDGs address not only highly relevant socioeconomic issues, but also pressing environmental challenges associated with the Anthropocene, such as climate change. The integration of a specific climate goal – SDG 13 – into the SDGs is paramount as climate change is a global and urgent threat compromising the realisation of all the SDGs. However, the SDGs’ focus on issues linked to the current economic growth pattern and development paradigm may prevent them from addressing the climate crisis and the inequalities and injustices associated with it. This paper attempts to establish the extent to which the SDGs promote progress towards achieving climate justice or if, on the contrary, they maintain the status-quo and continue to fuel the climate crisis while leaving millions behind. En 2015, las Naciones Unidas adoptaron la Agenda 2030 y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), un conjunto de objetivos universales en áreas de acción esenciales vinculadas al desarrollo sostenible. Los ODS no sólo abordan cuestiones socioeconómicas de gran relevancia, sino también desafíos ambientales apremiantes asociados al Antropoceno, como el cambio climático. La integración de un objetivo climático específico –SDG 13– en los ODS es primordial ya que el cambio climático es una amenaza global y urgente que compromete la realización de todos los ODS. Sin embargo, el hecho de que los ODS se centren en cuestiones relacionadas con el actual patrón de crecimiento económico y el paradigma de desarrollo podría impedirles enfrentar la crisis climática y las desigualdades e injusticias asociadas con la misma. Este artículo intenta establecer hasta qué punto los ODS promueven el progreso hacia el logro de la justicia climática o si, por el contrario, mantienen el statu quo y siguen alimentando la crisis climática, al tiempo que dejan atrás a millones de personas.
