Prior studies on the relationships between economic, environmental, and social dimensions of activity on agricultural holdings has yielded inconclusive results. This study examines the interactions between these spheres, with the aim of determining what the relationships between them might be. The study was based on the results of surveys of 120 farms in the Wielkopolska region of Poland, using structural equation modeling. The results showed significant and positive relationships between the economic, social, and environmental dimensions that could create synergies between them. The strongest positive relationships existed between the economic and environmental dimensions. Thus, economic and environmental development can be stimulated simultaneously. Analyzed farms from the Wielkopolska region positively discount the existing support system in the EU to the complementarity between environmental and economic governance. Our research indicates the need for the EU to implement a strategy adjusted to the individual region’s peculiarities in terms of environmental and social policies in rural areas.

“…Similarly, Kebede et al (2021) use the CLIMSAVE IAP to demonstrate the trade-offs and synergies across food, water, land, and ecosystems (FWLE) in the EU. Their results show that food production is likely to be the main driver of a future change in Europe's landscape.…”

“…In addition to that, the possibility of IAMs to project the impact of different climate policies on the economy allows researchers to investigate them also under the nexus perspective. At the same time, we find only two works which focus on the WEFE nexus: Veerkamp et al (2020) and Kebede et al (2021). The former assesses the entire nexus by combining two different IAMs, while the latter analyses the outcomes of an IAM with impact indicators representing key nexus interactions.…”

“…The aim is to offer the necessary insights for designing, implementing, and monitoring the transformation of the SDGs [5]. Based on the impact on sustainability, Kebede et al [25] integrated an assessment of the food-water-land-ecosystems nexus in Europe. Wang et al [26] reviewed the water-energy extended nexuses from the perspective of relationship and practicability in relieving the challenges towards environmentally related SDGs.…”

Hainan Island in southern China has strong ecological systems and natural resources relevant to multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The island has been focusing on economic development and building a national park and a free trade port to improve the economy and people’s lives. However, current research on Hainan’s SDGs has mainly focused on urban-related indicators (SDG11), resulting in an incomplete evaluation across SDGs. It is necessary to establish a comprehensive assessment framework that incorporates a greater number of indicators for Sustainable Development Goals in Hainan. Based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Assessment System and the current situation in Hainan, a localized study has been conducted on indicators for Sustainable Development Goals 1–4 and 6–11. Our analysis of target scores, SDG scores, and SDG index scores shows the following: (1) The sustainable development of Hainan Island has significantly improved since 2015, with SDGs 1, 3, and 10 showing the largest improvement; (2) most cities and counties have increased their SDG index scores, with Sanya City replacing Haikou City as the top scorer in 2021; and (3) the sustainable development levels are unevenly distributed, with high levels in the north and south, stable levels in the east, and low levels in the central and western regions. Policies, such as the “Haicheng Wending” comprehensive economic circle, are promoting integration between cities and counties. The study provides a localized evaluation framework and methodology for SDGs assessment at the regional level that can serve as a reference for similar work on sustainable development in similar regions and tropical islands worldwide.
