“…Although educational enrolments and life expectancy show a moderate positive influence with regard to increased ICT development, there is almost no correlation when it comes to income inequality, governance, and biodiversity. [21] points out other causes such as digital enterprise and innovation. There has been an increase in greenhouse gas emissions and a decrease in the employment of sustainable energy sources with increased ICT diffusion, implying that growth in ICT development does not necessarily translate to a sustainable world in low-income economies, unless other external situational factors are taken into account.…”

Considering the challenges of sustainable development and the mixed prescriptions being offered by the use of digital technologies, we present a datadriven narrative of how ICT development impacts the sustainable growth of economies. The analysis is based on historical panel data from 39 economies across the developed and developing economies. The industrystandard CRISP-DM methodology was applied as it is flexible, robust, and offers a practical approach for data analytics. The findings reveal that there are differentiated outcomes in terms of sustainable growth among high-income and low-income economies. This poses legitimate questions as to whether low-income economies will be able to meet the UN's Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 through the intermediation of ICT.

“…Desde 2015 a 2020 se ha tenido poco avance en lograr resultados concretos en cada uno de los ODS, no sólo por una cuestión de temporalidad sino por la falta de coherencia y sincronía relacional con la cual deben implementarse las medidas propuestas por la ONU; además de no considerar la diferencia presupuestaria, muchas veces deficitaria, con la que cuentan las economías en desarrollo -como las Latinoamericanas-para impulsar procesos de transición y transformación de sus marcos de desarrollo hacia horizontes más sotenibles. A estas deficiencias de los ODS, se le han de sumar la poca importancia que se le ha prenstado a la producción de conocimiento para lograr la sostenibilidad (Sharma, 2018), por lo que, según Cochrane, Sauer y Aswani (2019) también ha sido evidente la falta de investigaciones transdisciplinarias basadas en el pensamiento complejo y la teoría crítica que aborden cada uno de los fenómenos socioambientales en situaciones concretas, a pesar de ser cada vez más necesario que existan aportes científicos integrales que promuevan, guíen y evaluen el desarrollo social sostenible.…”

El presente artículo guarda un doble propósito. En primer lugar, ofrece una reflexión académica que, en términos panorámicos, busca presentar la serie de retos que plantea la crisis sanitaria del COVID-19 para poder avanzar hacia un desarrollo social basado en la sustentabilidad; en segundo lugar, se presentan los artículos que conforman el tercer número de la revista Ecocience International Journal, y que conforman el contenido argumental del dossier: “La sostenibilidad como paradigma: complejidad, competencias y educación”. La argumentación desarrollada en esta introducción del dossier, busca invitar a la reflexión académica sobre futuras líneas de investigación para pensar el desarrollo social sostenible en la pospandemía, en tanto que la “nueva normalidad” que se avecina debe plantearse indiscutible necesidad de construir una sociedad basada en la sustentabilidad y la resiliencia como característica principal de la reproducción social.

“…In the context of sustainable development goals, the contemporary basic education should build lifelong learning skills based on digital technologies, including in the form of massive open online courses [6]. The main components of the digital literacy concept are digital consumption (the use of Internet services for work and life), digital competences (skills to effectively use information retrieval technologies, production of multimedia content, etc.…”

The article is devoted to the problem of developing digital literacy in vocational education as a condition for sustainable development of a region. The key main components of the concept of digital literacy are digital consumption (the use of Internet services for work and life), digital competences (skills to effectively use technology), digital security (basics of security on the Internet). In the field of regional professional education, conditions for developing digital competence, digital consumption, digital security are to be established. The informational and educational environment of a leading regional higher education institution (Altai State University), represented by the "Moodle" learning management system, satisfies such conditions. Effectiveness of developing digital literacy skills by means of electronic courses is confirmed by the quality of independent work on searching, selecting and evaluating, structuring, visualizing information, as well as organizing independent work and joint activities using cloud technologies and online applications.
