Organizations should employ information technology to enhance their market positions; accelerate their activities, and reduce costs which lead to achieving sustainability. The use of information technology can expose the data of organizations to technological risks; may weaken information security in the organization that prevents the organization from achieving its desired goals. So, this research aims to identify the most important concepts of data governance, sustainable development goals, and related information technology. It also aims to clarify the influence of data governance on achieving the sustainable development goals by applying COBIT2019 framework. The researchers have designed a refereed questionnaire to collect data from the main 5 petroleum companies in Kurdistan region of Iraq then analyzed that data to test the hypotheses of this study. The researchers conclude that applying COBIT2019 framework can enhance the data governance in the organizations and help in achieving the sustainable development goals in information technology environment. Moreover, the study recommends that there is a need to strengthen data governance mechanisms essential to achieve the sustainable development goals. This suggested framework can apparently enhance the information technology infrastructure.

The phenomenon of globalization has entered people's lives, including in Semat Village, Tahunan District, Jepara Regency. The indicator is the development of information technology tools and changes in people's attitudes and lifestyles that tend to follow modern styles. Even though, globalization has not discouraged people from participating in several activities that are in line with the SDGs target in the economic and education sectors, especially in efforts to end poverty and ensure inclusively and quality education. This study aims to emphasize the role of guru ngaji in promoting sustainable global development (SDGs) in the economic and educational domains. A crucial research question that will be answered is whether it is true that global phenomena can cause the younger generation to become increasingly dependent on technological tools and the gradual fading of the sense of solidarity among fellow communities.

Abstract. Economic changes in the context of globalization have left adolescents from Latin American contexts with few opportunities to make satisfactory transitions into adulthood. Recent studies indicate that there is a protracted period between the end of schooling and entering into formal working activities. While in this “limbo,” illicit activities, such as drug trafficking may emerge as an alternative for young people to ensure their social participation. This article aims to deepen the understanding of Brazilian youth’s involvement in drug trafficking and its intersection with their schooling, work, and aspirations, connecting with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 and 16 as proposed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations in 2015 .
