Online published on 15 July, 2024. Abstract The article examines the main problems of the XXI century, the overcoming of which led to achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals adopted in 2015, replacing the Millennium Development Goals. The authors systematically consider the governance process in sustainable development, paying particular attention to the structural-functional and information-behavioral subsystems of governance. Also, special attention is paid to the development of information technology and civil society, as well as other changes in the late XX . early XXI century. These changes have influenced the concepts of public administration, which are fundamental to achieving the SDGs. The article aims to determine the methodological approaches necessary for the functioning of the public administration system in the context of sustainable development. The primary research method used was a bibliographic study, both descriptive and analytical. The analysis of scientific literature allowed the authors to conclude that the following modern concepts of public administration in the context of sustainable development can be implemented: “management of public values,” “digital citizenship,” “political networks,” “smart (receptive/reflective) governance,” results/goals-based management, FAST-concept, “Open Government,” and “Activating State” The importance of involving people in addressing sustainable development issues related to significant social, economic, and environmental problems, policy-making, and public service delivery is hardly disputed today. As shown, modern concepts aim to enable citizens to participate in such processes. These include access to and availability of information and the development of communication technologies, including social media. In the XXI century of Knowledge Societies, the most creative solutions will be created through open interaction and reliance on shared resources. The extraordinary events (the pandemic and the war in Ukraine) have significantly slowed down the process of achieving Sustainable Development Goals and, in some cases, made it impossible to achieve any results for some goals. As a result, a new model of public administration in the context of sustainable development will be required. The prospects for further research include defining a new concept of public administration and its provision, which will consider the advantages of modern concepts and ensure their synergistic effect so that the sustainable development agenda is adopted by the state, business, and society. Highlights • The article highlights the importance of a peoplecentered approach in public administration, emphasizing the shift from governing for people to governing with people, particularly in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined in the 2030 Agenda. • The study aims to determine methodological approaches for the functioning of the public administration system in the context of sustainable development, focusing on tasks such as studying changes in the operation of public authorities, identifying factors impacting public administration, and describing concepts aligning with current trends to achieve the SDGs.
