“…Such works that have examined the relationships of SDGs are indicative of the appreciation that some level of inter-relationships/alignments is needed between the targets/goals with those of the other targets/goals in the formulation of the SDGs if the SDGs are to remain faithful to the holism that informed their conception. These studies have used qualitative assessments to show the interrelatedness of the SDGs intricately and graphically (International Council for Science Union [ICSU] (2015); Nilsson, Griggs & Visbeck, 2016, Lawrence, Ihebuzor & Lawrence, 2020). Their findings are that the SDGs are formulated in a way that many of them are directly or indirectly interrelated.…”

SDG16 cuts through, affects and is affected by the other 16 SDGs. This study involved a number of steps; the first step was computing the degrees of compatibility/alignments of SDG16 targets as individual targets against the targets of the other 16 SDGs using a scoring system that ranged from -3 to +3. The next step in data treatment involved computing the means for each row in each table to get the compatibility scores between SDG16 targets and each goal and then we used the columns to compare the SDG16 with the targets of each of the other goals. The final steps involved computing the mean compatibility scores between the SDG16 goal and the goals of the other SDGs on one hand and those between the SDG16 targets and the other 16 SDGs on the other. The approach is based on the strategic management principle that objectives and targets are set in ways that their achievement help in the achievement of the aspirations of the goal. The study approach is new, and it has not been done before. The compatibility examination showed that the aspirations embedded in the development of SDG2 (Zero Hunger) targets and those of SDG16 were least aligned and do not effectively support each other. SDG16 and SDG5 (Gender equality) were the most aligned, suggesting that the achievement of the SDG16 targets go a long way in supporting the achievement of SDG5 targets. An approach like this can be used as stand alone or in conjunction with the often used qualitative methods and will be a very helpful tool during SDG or related reviews, as it is useful in identifying targets and goals with high mutual transfer benefits among themselves. The study concludes with some recommendations.

“…Signs of such influence of SDG 4 on SDG 8 were found in 21 reports out of 40 both at the level of challenges and prospects for joint achievement of these goals and at the level of political discussions. Modeling of interaction between SDGs at the target level was conducted by Lawrence et al (2020) who showed that SDG 4 is primary to ensure progress in 7 SDGs (3, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, and Thus, in addition to the analysis of exemplary UN reports conducted by Vladimirova and Le Blanc (2015) and selected works of scientists on the relationship between the CSW system and their targets for all 17 goals, studies on CSW 4 and 8 are insufficiently presented in academic circles. The study of the scientific landscape in relation to these goals, their synergetic effects in the light of pandemic challenges, and prospects for the formation of the knowledge economy is an important task that can be solved based on the tools of meta-analysis.…”

Almost all human activity spheres, from the health care system to the education system, were unprepared for the pandemic. This, in turn, has slowed down the progress in achieving sustainable development goals. The Sustainable Development Goals 4 “Quality Education” and 8 “Decent Work and Economic Growth” were particularly vulnerable. In addition, the widespread concern was caused in the context of the transition to a “knowledge-based economy”. This paper analyzes the readiness of the scientific community to provide preconditions for the acceleration of these SDGs achievements. To do this, a meta-analysis of the academic literature on SDG 4, SDG 8, and the knowledge-based economy during 2015–2021 was conducted. Several special methods and instruments were used, including Scopus, WoS, VosViewer, Publish or Perish, Google Trends, and Google Books Ngram Viewer. The results show the inability of the modern academic community to provide a theoretical and empirical framework for a successful transition to a knowledge-based economy, taking into account the need to achieve sustainability. This is partly due to the relative subject novelty and the lack of academic attention. The challenges posed by the pandemic (lockdowns, unemployment, closing of educational institutions, financial flows reorientation, etc.) together with potential threats (new pandemic, climate change, population displacement, armed conflicts, etc.) necessitate a radical intensification of academic activity in economics to achieve SDGs.

“…Societies should pay great attention to both civil and military measures in protecting public functions in order to develop capacity to advocate peace and prepare for war and post-war.  Domestic and International Conflict: Lawrence and Lawrence (2019) argued that peace can be measured by the absence of domestic and international conflict in a society. On the basis of a premise that conflicts arise from unacceptable difference between reality and what is desired -in needs, values, and expectations within an individual or a group and with others, they then posit that the frequent occurrences of conflict within a society or between different societies can give insights into the substantiality of peace in that society by revealing how members of that society are able to handle their disparities and deploy conflict resolution procedures necessary for the promotion of peaceful coexistence.…”
