Abstrakt

Przyjęcie w 2015 r. Celów Zrównoważonego Rozwoju ONZ (SDGs) przełożyło teoretyczną koncepcję zrównoważonego rozwoju (SD) na działania bardziej praktyczne. Ogłoszone SDGs wzbudziły duże zainteresowanie firm, przede wszystkim dużych, także w Polsce, które zaczęły je implementować do swoich strategii. Polskie samorządy SD zaczęły wdrażać jednak wcześniej, po II Szczycie Ziemi w Rio de Janeiro w 1992 r. przez Lokalne Agendy 21. Tak jak kamieniem milowym dla rozwoju koncepcji SD było ogłoszenie SDGs w 2015 r., tak zdaniem wielu ekspertów 2020 r. stanowił swoisty test dla SDGs, ponieważ pandemia COVID-19 wpłynęła negatywnie na postępy w osiąganiu SDGs. W opracowaniu podjęto próbę oceny podejścia przedsiębiorstw i miast uznawanych za liderów SD w Polsce do wdrażania tej koncepcji w pierwszym roku trwania pandemii. Tekst powstał w oparciu o krytyczną analizę literatury przedmiotu, web research oraz autorskie badania empiryczne, przeprowadzone wśród przedsiębiorstw i miast w Polsce, uznawanych za liderów wdrażania SD. Przeprowadzone badania pozwoliły stwierdzić, że liderzy wdrażania SD w Polsce (zarówno reprezentujący biznes jak i miasta) w zdecydowanej większości znają zarówno SD jak i SDGs. W analizowanym okresie widać także wyraźny wzrost instytucjonalizacji SD. Zarówno przedstawiciele biznesu jak i miast definiują SD przede wszystkim zgodnie z zapisami Agendy 2030. Większość przedsiębiorstw i miast uważa, że ogłoszenie SDGs wpłynęło na zmianę ich podejścia do wdrażania SD. Pandemia COVID-19 nie zahamowała wdrażania SDGs, choć w niektórych przypadkach wymusiła modyfikację działań.
