With over half of the global population residing in urban areas, the significance of building resilient cities cannot be overstated. Cities are at the forefront of driving adaptation and building resilience implementing ambitious strategies and activities to effectively cope, adapt, and transform, considering three pillars of sustainable development: economic growth, environmental management and social inclusion. This study explores the toolbox of best practices - activities and innovations that European cities are implementing to achieve sustainable development goals. In the article, the best practices and innovative approaches that cities are taking toward sustainability were identified. This article explores the key aspects of smart mobility and its potential to reshape urban transportation systems for a more sustainable future. The findings in the paper indicate that European cities are making significant efforts to adopt sustainable practices, including investments in renewable energy, green infrastructure, public transportation, waste management, and sustainable urban planning. The study highlights the importance of the need for inter-sectoral collaborations to achieve SD goals.

It allows Latvian law enforcement authorities to create specific circumstances (situations) in order to determine criminal purposes of persons. Usually, this activity is used to investigate illicit narcotic drug trafficking, corruption cases and other crime investigations where “test-purchase” operations are required. This article examines the part of the legal regulation for operational experiments that determines what situations are intended to be created when the measure is being implemented. Linguistic analysis and legal interpretation (translation) of the currently effective legal regulation for operational experiments in conjunction with the actual content of operational experiments that are put into practice showed that there are certain deficiencies in the legislation which occur in cases when it is necessary to create infringement situation which is not a crime. Such situations are created when it is necessary to determine if officials facing an infringement, which is not a crime, in the course of fulfilling their official duties, will act in accordance with duties assigned to their post or will ask the infringer (performer of the operational experiment) for a bribe. Keywords: operational activities, operational experiment, investigatory experiment, test purchase, undercover operations, entrapment, incitement, provocation, sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":46519,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Sustainable Development","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136205115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper provides examples of competencies that employees need to effectively perform their job safety responsibilities. It also discusses professional education and training issues related to the development of occupational safety competencies. It is believed that the development of occupational health and safety competencies not only influences the design of appropriate and safe working conditions, but also reduces the risk of occupational accidents and diseases. There are two types of occupational competencies: general and vocational. General occupational competencies are required for effective occupational activities to ensure safe work, regardless of the sector. The sectoral nature of occupational health and safety is reflected in the availability of specific occupational competencies. The article discusses various methods and approaches for building a new national model for professional skills development. The model is based on the introduction of a risk-based approach in Kazakhstan. Occupational risk assessment is considered as the basis for designing training programs and acquiring the occupational competencies needed for comprehensive protection against risks. The development of a culture of occupational safety and professional competencies is a key factor in the sustainable development of the company and the improvement of the quality of life of its employees. Keywords: safe work, risk-oriented approach, professional competencies, industrial accident, training programs.","PeriodicalId":46519,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Sustainable Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135408651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tools and components can be self-made by downloading model designs, optimizing those designs for individual experiments and printing locally. Together with the use of materials for 3DP filaments derived from renewable resources and recycling of old printed structures, science labs and institutes can significantly reduce their carbon footprint to meet their Sustainable Development Goals. This new sustainable paradigm is evaluated through a case study of sample preparation - a fundamental aspect of materials science. For high quality investigation of material microstructures, even to the atomic scale, sample preparation is critical. A range of 3DP plastic tools for preparing samples has been developed.

At the same time, initiating change towards sustainability is more difficult in secondary processes than in other processes: Often, they are not under the complete control of hospitals and involve other actors, such as service providers or purchasing companies. The current research aims to shed light on factors influencing change in secondary processes at the example of hospitals in Germany. Building on a framework that distinguishes change factors on a micro-, meso- and macro-level, it is analysed which aspects are positively or negatively influencing change towards more sustainability. To this end, qualitative interviews with eleven experts from hospitals and service providers have been conducted and results have been assigned to the three levels of change. Results underline the importance of inter-organisational collaboration and the design of structures and processes to establish regular cooperation and coordination. They also show that business relationships between hospitals and service providers are rather cost-related than transformational. Sustainability offers the opportunity to modify existing roles and develop future-proof businesses. The paper contributes to existing research by focusing on multi-organisational perspectives. On a practical level, it supports hospitals in designing their change strategies and processes jointly and in collaboration with other parties that are part of secondary processes.  Keywords: sustainable change, (inter-) organisational change, hospitals’ secondary processes","PeriodicalId":46519,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Sustainable Development","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135406948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
