PEOPLE’S AWARENESS OF THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (CASE STUDY OF THE VOLOGDA OBLAST)

The purpose of the work is to assess Vologda Oblast residents’ awareness of sustainable development and the implementation of the Agenda 2030. The assessment is based on the results of a sociological survey conducted by Vologda Research Center of RAS in May–June 2021. Scientific novelty of the study consists in the fact that it summarizes Vologda Oblast residents’ views on the implementation of the Agenda 2030, the most significant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the main subjects of their implementation. Results: The majority of Vologda Oblast residents (59%) do not know anything about sustainable development and the SDGs. As people become older and more educated, their awareness increases. Intellectual workers are more aware of the concept and goals of sustainable development; however, among the “intellectuals” (including managers), the understanding of the SDGs is very superficial, only 11% know the term and its content, and 45% know the term, but do not know its content. According to Vologda residents, the most relevant SDGs are decent work, good health, no poverty, quality education (more than 50% of Vologda Oblast population noted the importance of these goals alone). The majority of respondents believe that the government should promote the SDGs (from 46 to 73%), emphasizing that it should be implemented from the federal to the municipal level, while only 7% of respondents consider the SDGs too idealistic and unattainable. The results of the study can be used to develop a concept for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Agenda at the regional level, involving the interaction of all interested parties and providing practical recommendations for the implementation of the SDGs in strategic planning documents and in the daily lives of citizens.
