Analysing the efficiency of investments in renewable energy-based development plays a pivotal role in maximising the benefits of transitioning to a more sustainable energy future. Examining the efficiency of these investments ensures the optimal allocation of resources to preserve the environment and promote economic growth and social well-being.

The present research assesses the agri-environmental sustainability of the Baltic states, namely Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, while analyzing agricultural biodiversity, greenhouse gas emissions, land utilization, energy use, and water management. For the purpose of these evaluations and ranking, we employ the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), applied to a set of agri-environmental indicators (AES) collected from various sources, including Eurostat and similar databases.

The European market for organic products has been expanding, with a persistent difference between the growth rates of organic retail trade (actual demand for organic products) and the growth rates of organic agricultural land areas (potential supply of organic products). This makes the European Union (EU) dependent on global imports.

With the recognition of the impact of the transport sector on climate change and human health, decision-makers are under the pressure to shape the transport sector in a more sustainable way, considering more sustainable options and technologies. Besides that, it is also important to ensure such aspects as affordability, security, reliability and convenience of transport services and the effective functioning of the whole system.

This paper explores the incorporation of experiential marketing strategies into the business models of tourism and hospitality firms, arguing that such an approach can enhance consumer experience and differentiate firms in a competitive market. Building on previous research that investigates experiential marketing in broader contexts, this study reviews existing research and practices to identify key issues and proposes a typology of experiential strategies specifically tailored to tourism and hospitality.

Green finance, by adding environmental considerations into financial products, guides industries toward lowcarbon transformation and quickens the decline of carbon emissions across society. However, existing studies fail to identify the spatial correlation effects and the driving mechanisms of their impact, so in order to further clarify the causal pathways of the impact of green finance on carbon emissions,

Greening the economy reduces environmental costs through more efficient use of resources, while new eco-friendly technologies and techniques help boost employment, and give new impetus to the economy. Environmental policy can help achieve strategic objectives for smart, sustainable and overall growth. The presented study is part of the subject of resource management in accordance with the assumptions of sustainable development.

Coordinating the intermediate goods imports considering industrial energy-environmental efficiency, within a green, low-carbon, and circular development system, is a key strategic measure for China to achieve its carbon peak, carbon neutrality goals, and promote high-quality development. This paper examines the impact and mechanisms of intermediate goods imports on China’s industrial energy-environmental efficiency, using data from China’s industrial sectors between 2000 and 2020.

This article examines the significance of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) within the Iranian automotive sector, emphasizing the assessment of suppliers’ sustainability performance in light of increasing global environmental concerns and regulatory demands. This study employs the TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method to evaluate five principal suppliers—SAPCO, MEGA Motor, Crouse Company, Sazehgostar, and ITMCO—based on twelve criteria: green initiatives, quality, waste reduction, eco-design, reverse logistics, sustainable investments, financial costs, management commitment, strategic capabilities, customer satisfaction, innovation, and trust.

This paper discusses how integrating renewable energy, AI, and IoT becomes important in promoting climate-smart agriculture. Due to the changing climate, rise in energy costs, and ensuring food security, agriculture faces unprecedented challenges; therefore, development toward innovative technologies is emerging for its sustainability and efficiency.
