Despite the efforts of public institutions and government spending, progress on the SDGs is mixed at the midpoint of the 2030 timeframe-some targets are off track and some have even regressed. ICT-related indicators, on the other hand, stand out for their strong progress. The author notes this progress, but questions its relationship to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. He argues that the growth in internet and mobile network penetration is due to the economic characteristics of communications development. The objectives of the article are to review the impact of the ICT sector on economic growth, to consider the role of government spending in the development of this sector in the context of fostering the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, and to identify the prerequisites for significant progress towards SDG targets in communications. Achievement of these objectives will make it possible to determine whether this progress is a consequence of targeted efforts to achieve the SDGs, or whether, in accordance with the author’s hypothesis, it is based on the specifics of the ICT sector’s development, allowing for the accelerated spread of mobile communications and the Internet, which is reflected in the SDG indicators.

This article aims to present an analysis of the evolution and contributions developed and integrated into the corpus of Earth Jurisprudence from practice in seven (7) South American countries where 135 records were found between 2005 and 2023. The case study was carried out using the methodological approach of the qualitative approach, the hermeneutic method, and the documentary review technique. The unit of analysis was based on the recognition of rights to nature, the data and information organized according to legal/political provisions, the state, the actor that initiated the action, and the ecological actor involved. Among the most outstanding findings, it is evident that a large number of records are concentrated in Ecuador and Colombia. The first correlates with the constitutionalization of the rights of nature and coincides with the second as they have been part of the stream known as new Latin American constitutionalism. In addition, a notable jurisprudential development recognizes nature as a subject of rights and declares it a victim of the armed conflict. Bolivia, which also joined this emerging denomination, has a different tendency than it had in its beginnings, not as the two countries mentioned above have done. Brazil stands out for its considerable increase in such legislative recognition. Argentina has a stronger emphasis on animal law. Peru has an incipient contribution to some regulatory implementation. Finally, Chile, the most laggard, tries it with a new constitution that recognizes these rights without having the approval at the ballot box. It is concluded the need to elevate the rights of nature and animals to constitutional status, claiming indigenous and ancestral cosmogonies regionally since it includes a legal stability that would facilitate the work of judicial and legislative actors and decision-makers for developing public policies, which would contribute to the practical development of the new Latin American constitutionalism and the Earth Jurisprudence.

Papua, one of the provinces in Indonesia, is recognized for its limited infrastructure and high poverty rates. This limitation undoubtedly emphasizes the government’s special attention toward augmenting foreign and domestic investments by expanding industrial sectors to absorb more labor, thereby aiming to enhance the region’s economic performance. The focus of the study seeks to assess the extent to which foreign and domestic investments, industrial employment, and the proliferation of industries in Papua contribute to increasing the Gross Development Product (GDP) and reducing poverty. By employing secondary data from 2016 to 2022 and utilizing the Regression Data Panel method, it encompasses 29 districts. The findings reveal that domestic investment, employment in the industrial sector, and the number of industries significantly influence poverty rates. However, as conclusion, foreign investment, surprisingly, demonstrates no substantial impact on economic performance. This unexpected result might be attributed to issues linked with the inadequate quality of financial performance, which doesn’t align with the available investment funds. Utilizing the analytical network process (ANP), the study outlines two primary strategies. The first involves prioritizing investment expansion by focusing on both domestic and foreign investments. The second strategy emphasizes industrial revitalization through augmenting the number of industries and enhancing labor participation in the industrial sector.
