Implementation of Sustainable Development Strategies has gained prominence during the last two (2) decades. Human activities in the bid to achieve economic growth and to earn livelihoods for themselves and dependent relations have had serious effects and implications on the environment either consciously or unconsciously thereby leading to depletion of both renewable and non-renewable resources alike. Human actions have affected the natural ecosystem and have resulted in climate change, rapid depletion of natural endowments and continuous damage to the biodiversity which had tremendous negative impact on the economic, social, and environmental aspects of development. This thesis seeks to identify the pillars of sustainable development and the relationship between TBL and sustainability in the context of regional growth and development. The study found that both countries adopted the TBL framework and the SDGs, but had different approaches, challenges, and outcomes.

V posledních dvou (2) desetiletích získala implementace strategií udržitelného rozvoje na významu. Lidské aktivity ve snaze dosáhnout hospodářského růstu a zajistit si pro sebe živobytí a závislé vztahy měly vážné dopady a důsledky na životní prostředí, ať už vědomě, nebo nevědomě, což vedlo k vyčerpání obnovitelných i neobnovitelných zdrojů. Lidská činnost ovlivnila přírodní ekosystém a vedla ke změně klimatu, rychlému vyčerpání přírodních zdrojů a neustálému poškozování biologické rozmanitosti, což mělo obrovský negativní dopad na ekonomické, sociální a environmentální aspekty rozvoje. Cílem této práce je identifikovat pilíře udržitelného rozvoje a vztah mezi trojí zodpovědností (dále jen "TBL") a udržitelností v kontextu regionálního růstu a rozvoje. Studie zjistila, že obě země přijaly rámec TBL a cíle udržitelného rozvoje, ale měly odlišné přístupy, výzvy a výsledky.

The aim is to examine the sustainable development policies of selected EU member state using the triple bottom line theory in a comparative case study analysis. For achieving this goal, an interesting model of analysis will be elaborated, which takes into consideration three levels and dimensions: strategic, administrative and outcomes. The study will profess recommendations to how regional policies should inculcate green, sustainable, and inclusive development based on the findings.
Outline:
- The EU regional sustainable development policies: essence and characteristics.
- Regional sustainable development in the EU: Assessing the institutional framework.
- Mixed method comparative case study methodology.
- Analysis of the implementation and performance of EU regional sustainable development in Romania and Sweden.
