Summary/Abstract: Narastające wyzwania globalne o charakterze społecznym i środowiskowym spowodowały, że potrzeba dążenia do zrównoważonego rozwoju stała się jednym z najważniejszych tematów dyskursu naukowego i politycznego ostatnich dekad. Zrównoważony rozwój to obecnie już nie tyle pożądany i oczekiwany kierunek rozwoju, ile konieczność. Czy podejmowane w ostatnich latach przez rządy państw i organizacje międzynarodowe oraz przedsiębiorstwa działania przeciwdziałające globalnym problemom są jednak wystarczające? Czy przyczynią się do uratowania środowiska naturalnego i odwrócenia tak niebezpiecznych zmian klimatycznych? Czy doprowadzą do tego, że obecnie głodujące 10% i strukturalnie niedożywione 25% naszej populacji będzie miało godne warunki życia, pracy i rozwoju? Czy liczne programy w ramach polityki na rzecz zrównoważonego rozwoju są skuteczne i sprawiedliwe? Do jakiego stopnia można powierzyć rynkowi rozwiązywanie problemów społecznych i środowiskowych? Jaką rolę odgrywają w procesie transformacji gospodarki w kierunku zrównoważonej gospodarki rynkowej oddolne inicjatywy rynkowe i społeczno-gospodarcze? Na te pytania szukają odpowiedzi autorzy niniejszej monografii. Wszystkie prowadzą do ważnej konkluzji, że za „naprawianie świata” odpowiedzialne są nie tylko rządy poszczególnych państw, lecz także przedsiębiorstwa oraz społeczeństwo, że konieczna jest intensywna współpraca między nimi, a wszelkie zmiany zaczynają się od naszych drobnych indywidualnych decyzji, i to od nich zależy, jaki świat zostawimy przyszłym pokoleniom.

Idea zrównoważonego rozwoju w obronności i przemyśle zbrojeniowym

- Summary/Abstract:This chapter aims to discover whether it is possible to develop a reasonable compromise between the idea of sustainable development, the arms industry and defense. Seemingly opposite ideas and sectors have much in common. The aforementioned shared part may bekey to solving the problem together. In the case of defense, there are solutions that provide an increase in defense capabilities and an environmental benefit. The arms industry is, however,difficult to be made sustainable. This sector is unsustainable in nature and its guiding idea is imbalance. This imbalance is becoming apparent in the turnover of arms companies, whose huge profits are fuelled by the arming of countries. Trade of this magnitude takes place despite the existence of various conventions prohibiting war—the UN Charter, for example.In the case of defense, however, sustainability does not have to be an antonym. This chapter does not encourage the implementation of militarism nor of environmentalism. The desired approach is the one that is most beneficial to humans (defense) and the environment on occasion. Therefore, it seeks arguments supporting the thesis that it is possible to invest indefense in a thoughtful way with respect for the environment. Observing the scale of the problems of the modern world—wars and conflicts, it is necessary to take reasonable action while there is still time.

- Summary/Abstract:This chapter analyses the impact of European Union funds on achieving sustainable development goals. The EU budget, although it constitutes only 1% of the entire Union’s GNI, plays a key role in financing initiatives supporting sustainable development. This chapter presents the history of the EU’s sustainable development policy, with particular emphasison funds such as the European Regional Development Fund, the Cohesion Fund, and the European Social Fund+, including the latest initiatives, like the “Europe 2020” strategy andthe “Fit for 55” package, aimed directly at combating climate change and supporting thetransition to a sustainable economy. The analysis includes a critical review of both Polishand foreign literature, as well as source materials and statistical data from EU institutions, highlighting the importance of the EU budget policy in supporting sustainable development,particularly in relation to Poland within the financial perspective for 2021–2027.

- Keywords:climate inequality;social justice;climate policy opposition;energy transition;European Union;
- Summary/Abstract:Responsibility for global warming is distributed unequally, and its effects are much more severe for the poor, who emit relatively little, than for the rich. Unfortunately, most climate policies to date have placed the greatest financial burden on the lower and middle classes, translating into a sense of injustice among citizens, as well as opposition to such policies. The following chapter discusses this problem from the perspective of the European Union member states: it describes the said opposition and aims to understand its causes. It seems important to ensure that the costs of future policies are mainly borne by the largest emitters, while less advantaged groups should receive additional support. Otherwise, there might occur a rise in inequality, a loss of trust in the government and opposition to its policies, making it impossible to effectively fight climate change.

- Keywords:Sustainability Linked Loans;green finance;sustainable finance;
- Summary/Abstract:Sustainability Linked Loans (SLL) have gained increasing attention in Poland, reflecting a broader global trend in sustainable finance. The aim of this chapter is a comprehensive overview of SLLs, comparing the Polish and international markets and evaluating the future prospects of this financial instrument. The study reviews industry standards and examines Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) used in SLLs, assessing their alignment with standards. Findings show, that while SLLs became globally used due to their flexibility, the Polish market is still developing. Environmental KPIs are prevalent in SLLs, whereas social KPIs are less common due to measurement challenges. The paper also notes a recent decline in SLL issuance, likely influenced by stricter EU regulations and high auditing costs.

- Summary/Abstract:This chapter analyses Formula 1’s sustainability efforts, with a focus on reducing CO2 emissions in racing, organisation, business travel, and event operations. The research uses a review of historical data and analysis of Formula 1’s initiatives, such as Net Zero Carbon 2030, to assess the effectiveness of emission reduction strategies. Results show minor decreases in emissions from planning and travel, although the growing number of races limits overall progress. Significant reductions were seen in manufacturing emissions. The chapter concludes that while Formula 1 is adopting green technologies, more substantial efforts in different dimensions of Formula 1’s functioning are needed to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030.

- Summary/Abstract:The aim of this chapter was to explain what role information about sustainability certificates can play in the non-financial reports of companies according to Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. The non-financial reports of selected companies of the Warsaw Stock Exchange were analysed. On this basis, it was found that enterprises willingly report on the certificates they have obtained. It was identified that the above information primarily serves to authenticate sustainable practices and may have a direct impact on the assessment of companies’ non-financial reports. They also serve as an essential element of stock exchange announcements and thus building relationships with stakeholders and investors.

Issues such as the ability to feed the expanding population with continued growth in meat consumption, considering the industry’s impact on the environment, with massive greenhouse gas emissions, extensive water use, and widespread deforestation or public health, including health risks related to diets high in meat consumption and the rise of antibiotic resistance caused by excessive antibiotic use in livestock farming, were reviewed. Based on the literature analysis it was concluded that changes in dietary customs leading to the adoption of more sustainable food sources are necessary to secure the future for next generations.
