Abstract

This article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical foundations and applied dimensions of implementing the concept of sustainable development within the system of public administration, regional governance, and local self–government. It addresses contemporary global challenges such as geopolitical instability, climate change, war, and post–war recovery. Particular attention is given to the integration of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into national and local policy frameworks, with a focus on their localization, environmental governance, climate adaptation strategies, green budgeting mechanisms, and environmental monitoring tools.

The research emphasizes the development of both theoretical understanding and practical competencies among public administration professionals at national, regional, and local levels. These competencies are critical for the implementation of effective state policies and the holistic restoration of public institutions in the aftermath of war.

Furthermore, the article proposes a hybrid and adaptive model of governance tailored to Ukraine’s recovery context, one that incorporates best practices from global frameworks such as the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the European Green Deal, while also reflecting Ukraine’s domestic realities under martial law. The study includes practical policy cases, a specialized glossary, and test–based learning modules, making it applicable for academic and professional training in the public administration domain
