“…Due to increasing efforts to achieve evidence-based policymaking, the role of science and research has become crucial for decisions at all political levels. Sustainability is of increasing importance for policies, communities, business and countries around the globe, being an important concept and a cross-cutting issue for many disciplines, namely for the economy (Kordestani et al 2015), education (Lozano et al , 2013Leal Filho et al 2015) or governance (Husted and Sousa-Filho 2016;Patterson et al 2016). The UN report on sustainability for all not only reiterates the need to mainstream sustainability across goals in areas such as economic growth, energy production, agriculture and urban environment, but also to enhance scientific research and encourage innovation, particular in developing countries (UN 2015).…”

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) contain a set of 17 measures to foster sustainable development across many areas. It offers a good opportunity to reinvigorate sustainable development research for two main reasons. First, it comprises many areas of SD research, which have become mainstream thanks to the UN SDGs. Second, the fact that the UN and its member countries have committed to attaining SDGs by 2030 has added a sense of urgency to the need to perform quality research on SD on the one hand, and reiterates the need to use the results of this research on the other. Even though the basic concept of sustainability goes back many centuries, it has only recently appeared on the international political agenda. This is partly due to an awakening of the fact that the human ecological pressure on the planet is still much larger than what nature can renew or compensate for. Based on this state of affairs, this paper presents an outline of the process leading to the agreement on the UN SDGs, and looks at some of the ecological aspects as a result of continued pressure of human activities on natural resources. Furthermore, a set of research needs is proposedalso based holistically on updated research trendsdiscussing the degree of urgency of some measures and explaining why the UN SDGs need to be accorded greater priority in international sustainable development research efforts.

Abstract:Youth is the most versatile and active segment of an economy and are a vital source of creativity and innovation. This paper is concerned with the establishment of a relationship between youth and sustainable development. The major issue under investigation is to assess the contribution of youth towards the nations growth and prosperity. We have undertaken an extensive literature review which is considered as a base for deriving the interpretative structural model (ISM). It is an approach which drives the researchers to study various aspects and correlate variables. This paper reflects an understanding of the various areas of youth contribution towards sustainable development in a hierarchical manner. To the researchers, this survey has significant insights into the relationship between youth and sustainability. It also highlights the important variables which have been arrived at, based on systematic literature review as well as ISM approach and MICMAC analysis; coupled with the interrelationship between the varied elements of the concept of youth contribution towards sustainable development. In this paper, the researchers have attempted to answer the research questions if there exists a relation between youth and sustainable development and whether a research model can be developed based on literature review and theoretical framework for further research directions.

“…This theoretical fragmentation hinders the potential of the overall holistic concept to effectively address the sustainability issue (Thomas, 2018). Moreover, this lack of accord poses a condition of confusion for academics and practitioners; therefore, an insightful research on the sustainability subject is required (Kordestani et al, 2015). Nonetheless, these aspects are internally consistent as ecological prosperity prompts increased social equity and also escalates stakeholders’ interest or economic strength (Berkes et al, 2000).…”

Sustainability Marketing (SM) is an innovative as well as a provocative area of research in the 21st century owing to the intensified competitive pressure in the business environment. Sustainability is conceptualized to constitute economic, social and environmental dimensions. These are originally premised on the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) approach. The present study examines these elements by acknowledging the nexus between marketing and sustainability to reveal the antecedents and consequences pertaining to SM. This study investigates the feasibility of joint application of sustainability and marketing along with a blueprint of SM’s effect on corporate reputation (CR) and consumers’ purchase intentions (PI). Four hundred and forty respondents from North India were surveyed through email. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was employed to examine SM’s effect on CR and PI through sustainability advertising (SA). The study implies that if the practitioners believe in sustainability and want to reap the benefits of favourable CR, they must adopt SA strategies for positioning the firm’s sustainability efforts in the desired way.
