Transcript:METODOLOGY OF DEVELOPING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT:
METODOLOGY OF DEVELOPING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION CAPITAL CITIES, THEIR COMPERATIVE ANALYSIS AND SOURCES OF FINANCING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS BY LOCAL GOVERMENTS Ewelina Pałucka associate professor Univeristy of Ecology and Management in Warsaw Faculty of Engineering and Management Content Introduction Theoretical background Study Materials and Methods Analysis and results Summary Content Introduction Theoretical background Study Materials and Methods Analysis and results Summary Introduction overview of the origin of the concept of sustainable development determines core elements and framework of developing SDS tailored for EU capital cities explores the degree of cohesion between uniquely designed SDS with the SDSs of all the EU capital cities presents the sources of financing the sustainable goals of the surveyed cities Content Introduction Theoretical background Study Materials and Methods Analysis and results Summary Theoretical background Concept of SD known already in ancient Roman, Greek, Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations Firstly described by Hans Carl von Carlowitz in 1713 in Sylvicultura Oeconomica Raised significance only in the second half of the 20th century Theoretical background World Commission on Environment and Development’s (1987) definition: “Sustainable Development is a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs“ Paris Agreement in 2015: 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development & its 17 Sustainable Development Goals Content Introduction Theoretical background Study Materials and Methods Analysis and results Summary Study: Materials and Methods analysis of international literature, publications, SDSs and budgetary acts of all European Union capital cities methodology of developing and determining the core elements of exemplary comprehensive, universal and reliable SDSs with replication possibilities analysis of sources of financing SD goals by the research local authorities critical comparative analysis of SDSs of all EU capital cities & cohesion analysis Study: Materials and Methods based on analysis in stage one: 76 dependent binary variables were defined they reflect complexity, versatility are tools to determine the level of cohesion of the 27 surveyed capital cities SDSs with the exemplary strategy tailored in stage two of the study Study: Materials and Methods The level of cohesion of the population of the 27 SDSs of UE capital cities with the exemplary one and on that basis to categorize each outcome in one out of five possible groups representing the level of cohesion: 70 points and above – excellent level 59 – 69 points – very good level 48 – 58 points
