Current situation in the environmental sector for the EAEU countries it is one of the most burning topics. One of the priority areas of the country’s sustainable development policy The Eurasian economic Union recognizes ensuring the welfare of the population living in the Eurasian space and introducing environmental technologies, creating environmentally friendly industries, and much more. Important changes have taken place in the environmental safety sector, and positive dynamics are beginning to be determined not only by intentions, but also by real actions aimed at improving the quality of the environment and health. In the context of globalization, the nature of the market–plan relationship in environmental management is changing dramatically. On the one hand, the influence of market forces and competition that stimulate the development and implementation of environmental policies by each individual state is increasing. On the other hand, the impact of international economic institutions on national relations is increasing, resulting in the creation of a system of supranational environmental management. Joint solution of issues related to prevention of negative impact on the environment is possible only through: contractual actions, investment policies, and planned activities aimed at maintaining environmental balance. Kazakhstan, being a full member of the EAEU actively participates in the formation of a regulatory framework aimed at reducing industrial risks, identifying the scale of anthropogenic pollution and implementing environmental monitoring.

Coastal zones are integral natural and socio-economic territorial-water system, combined by a complex structure of interactions. Coastal geosystems are unique, rich in natural resources, which determines their attractiveness for industrial and residential, recreational, transport and other activities, but also makes them environmentally vulnerable. Sustainable development of the coastal zone is determined by the economic, social, and environmental components. The research area of interest is the coastal zone of the Sea of Azov (Rostov Region). The subject of the study is the state of medical and environmental safety of the territories. The purpose of the study is the analysis of medical-ecological and socio-demographic factors as the basis for sustainable development of the coastal zone of the Sea of Azov. A systematic approach has been implemented to assess the sustainable development of the coastal zone and to develop methods for analyzing and integrating heterogeneous data. Changes in the coastal zone were evaluated based on a comparative analysis of multizone satellite imagery with ground-based studies, data from thematic maps. For the analysis of medical and environmental safety, an author’s technique was used, combining traditional methods and geoinformation technologies based on ArcGis Desktop*. The environmental quality indicator was considered in terms of the impact on human health. Assessment of demographic security was carried out based on the coefficient of demographic well-being / prosperity of the territory. The incidence rate of malignant neoplasms was considered as a highly informative and socially significant indicator of the health status of the population. For analysis, we used the SSC RAS database for 2006-2016. A comprehensive analysis of the development factors of the coastal zone of the Sea of Azov showed significant problems in the studied region. The most attractive areas of the coastal zone of the Sea of Azov from the point of view of infrastructure development are at the same time subject to changes due to dangerous natural phenomena. Analysis of demographic indicators confirmed the presence of adverse demographic processes.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of three strategic planning dimensions (environmental analysis, strategic direction and strategy formulation) on the five performance dimensions of Yemeni universities (profitability, market share, social responsibility, customer satisfaction, and scientific research). The descriptive analytical method was used and the data were collected by using a questionnaire. The study population consisted of the academic and administrative leaders in the Yemeni universities from which a sample of 301 participants were selected using the census method. To achieve the study objective and test the hypothesis, the descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used. The results of the study revealed an interest in practicing strategic planning dimensions in the Yemeni universities under investigation. There was a disparity in the level of achieving the performance dimensions, where 'market share' was the most achieved dimension, and 'profitability' was the least achieved dimension. The results also showed a disparity in the impact of strategic planning dimensions on the performance of Yemeni universities, where ‘strategy formulation’ was the most influential dimension; and ‘strategic direction’ was the least influential dimension. It was concluded that Yemeni universities should direct more focus on their practice of strategic planning of all dimensions because it has a positive impact on their performance. Keywords: strategic planning, performance, Yemeni universities

Purpose Cause-related marketing (CRM) focuses on the use of marketing tools to publicize a firm’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. Drawing on legitimacy theory, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of CRM-led CSR in international business-to-business (B2B) markets. In particular, the authors examine the relationship between supplier CRM-led philanthropic CSR reputation and foreign customer business engagement in an international B2B setting. The authors also test how the foreign customer’s host-country sustainable development level moderates this relationship. Design/methodology/approach The authors collect and analyze dyadic data from multiple sources including: dyadic data from a supplier and its 90 foreign customers; the supplier’s internal company records; and publically available data. Findings The authors find that supplier CRM-led philanthropic CSR reputation positively affects foreign customer business engagement. Furthermore, the authors find that this positive relationship is stronger when host-country environments are characterized by achieving higher level of environmental well-being development. In contrast, this positive relationship is weaker when the foreign customer host-country environment is characterized by achieving higher level of economic well-being development. Originality/value The authors examine that impacts of CRM-led CSR in international B2B markets and differentiate the contingent roles of foreign customer host-country sustainable development in moderating such impacts.

Our paper focuses on studying the development and implementation of a comprehensive environmental safety assessment and mitigation strategy for countries of origin and destination of environmental migration. Environmental migration represents one of the key threats to the security of regions and countries and is linked to their sustainable development (or lack thereof). Moreover, it is also connected to many important social, economic as well as demographic outcomes. Global warming caused by human activities is already having a major impact on the planet and is likely to render parts of the world uninhabitable, leading to migration, displacement, and planned resettlement. The goal of the paper is also to assess the impact of future migration due to the global warming and climate change. The results of the paper demonstrate that climate impacts can trigger migration and change population distribution within the next few decades. It is also clear that migration caused by the environmental factors (such as droughts, floods, higher temperature sand more extreme weather events) would inevitably lead to the geopolitical changes with long-range impacts and effects.

Sustainable development is a symbiosis of technological and social progress, as well as responsible environmental management, should not rely on old industries that actively consume non-renewable natural resources, but on new, convergent-technological ones. In this paradigm, the environmental safety of future generations is formed by structural shifts in the economies of advanced countries caused by the expansion of technological convergence. Technological convergence – the result of accelerating scientific and technological progress in the 21st century – has a transformative effect on the economies of developed countries, forming a new type of sectorial genesis. It is not related to the deepening of sectorial specialization or inter-industry cooperation within the framework of the evolution of basic technologies, but to the emergence of technologies of a fundamentally new type, formed as a result of the merger of know-how from different industries. The structural shifts arising from technological convergence do not have the historical analogues and forms of regulation developed by industrial policies of developed countries. The article outlines the key statements of the the impact of convergent technologies on the structural base of sustainable development.
