Resource Provision of the Sustainable Development under Global Shocks: 2022 Viewpoint

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, macroeconomic systems have faced the impact of a series of unpredictable shocks, such as the food crisis of 2007–2008, the financial crisis of 2008–2009, COVID-19 in 2020–2021, and military actions in Ukraine in 2022. The appearance of such “black swans” is almost impossible to predict, and one of the most intractable consequences of such shocks is the accumulation of uncertainty. At the same time, disruptions in the functioning of logistic chains are quite obvious, including the supply of natural resources, which will entail an energy crisis, hunger and, quite likely, practically uncontrolled inflation. In this situation, it becomes critically important to find ways to ensure the stability of the functioning of economic systems at all levels, as well as ways to achieve global Sustainable Development Goals.

In this Special Issue, we invite articles devoted to forecasting the short-, medium-, and long-term consequences of global shocks, building new business models, as well as resource provision of processes that contribute to the return of the world economy to the trajectory of sustainable development. We also welcome regional studies devoted to the search for new growth points, as well as industry topics related to the extraction, transportation, and processing of natural resources. The low-carbon agenda, climate and "green" projects along with the best available techniques will be also the focus of our discussion for providing a sustainable future.
