AbstractThe implementation of circular economy in wood industries is an effective way for future sustainable development. The wood industries in China are not in the direction of circular economy approach due to less availability of assessment/calculation data of pollutants as per life cycle assessment (LCA) criteria. The present study focuses on the calculation of emission and pollutants from wood industries as per LCA; the emission and pollution data were collected from fiberboard Medium-density fiberboard (MDF), plywood and particleboard (PB) production. The comparative analysis of dust emissions, industrial waste gases and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were performed among three wood industries. The results revealed that the fiberboard industry was the highest emitter of dust, industrial waste gas and COD; and particleboard industry was the least emitter. Further, results indicated that pollutant index of wood industries were significantly changed between 2015 and 2017; the industrial waste water discharge increased five folds and the COD, dust and industrial gases increased two times. This study provides with the emission and pollutants data of wood industries as per LCA to promote the sustainable development for circular and low carbon economics.

No one has the slightest doubt about the enormous potential that the African continent has as a tourist destination. The diversity of cultures, the great biodiversity that it possesses, the multiple artistic manifestations that it offers and the beauty of the seas that surround it are key pieces in continuing to promote its capacity as a tourist attraction, which is approximately 60 million tourists per year who generate seven percent of exports and employment. However, in order for Africa to take off, it is necessary that a number of conditions related to security, health, education, eradication of poverty, reduction of inequalities, peace and justice and quality of its waters, among others, are intimately related to the Sustainable Development Goals defined in the 2030 Agenda. In this context, we maintain that the implementation of the Circular Economy in Africa will be a key tool in this process of improving the sustainability of this continent in its three aspects, economic, social and environmental, and raising its level of tourism competitiveness.

As rare earth resources are indispensable raw materials for modern society, they have become strategic global reserve resources. Even though China is the world’s largest producer and exporter of rare earth, the industry has low efficiency and severe problems with over-exploitation and environmental pollution; therefore, there needs to be a greater focus on the sustainable exploitation of rare earth resources. This paper establishes an innovative evaluation index system for the sustainable development of China’s rare earth resources from six main aspects; economic development, social progress, environmental protection, technological innovation, rare earth development and utilization, and rare earth protection in which the indicators are assessed using an entropy method. Grey correlation analysis was used to evaluate China’s rare earth sustainable development level from 2006–2016, from which it was found that sustainable development was poor from 2006–2010 and marginally better from 2011–2016. The main factor affecting rare earth sustainable development in China was found to be the lag in the development of environment protection system and rare earth protection system. Policy recommendations for improving China’s rare earth protection, environmental protection, and technological innovation are proposed to guide government regulations and assist rare earth industry personnel.

The article views the problems related to harmonizing the development of a resource area. Kemerovo Oblast – Kuzbass is selected as the object of this study. We point out that, in the absence of consensus between authorities and business concerning the prospective development of the region, its economy may decay even despite obvious success in the fundamental industry, namely coal mining. It is strategically important for Kuzbass to create an efficient infrastructure for transforming the development of the coal industry into the economy-wide development of the region. Taking into account best international harmonization practices, we propose a conceptual system of mechanisms aimed at coordinating the interests of the commodity-driven business and the resource area built on the ‘common grounds’ shared by the coal industry and Kemerovo Oblast. The concept in question relies on the need to introduce business models to the industry management that would harmonize with the interests of the territory. At the same time, the territory should start to build a new economy by creating new standards that would establish requirements for doing business.

Along with machinery manufacturing, agriculture and port economy in the Republic of Crimea (RC) there is widely represented the sphere of services, which makes up more than 60 % of the Gross Regional Product and includes developed recreational activities. The Crimean Region (without Sevastopol) according to the number of the objects of placement occupies the second place, and according to the number of the placed tourists occupies the fifth place in the country. Last year Crimea was visited by more than 5,5mln tourists, exceeded the their number in 2015 for 21,6 %, what can be compared with the best indices of the Ukrainian period (2012 and 2013), though the potential of the touristic and recreational sphere (TRS), despite the losses of the recent decades, remains unused. The analysis of the economic state of Crimea has defined the existing problems of the region and under the conditions of realizing the Federal Targeted Program and Special Economic Zone shows that the existing system of the recreational economy and health resort services of Crimea are able to become the point of growth and driving force of the sustainable regional development. The unique opportunities of the progressive and qualitative development of the new subject of the Russian Federation based on the TRS priority made it possible to build the of sustainable development management system of the of the Republic of Crimea, and to work out its own model of the region development management. These models can be represented as the factors of restructurizing and creating administrative, economic and social connections and provide an opportunity to form the subsystem of management of the sustainable development of the Republic of Crimea based on the cluster integration of tourism and new relations of management. The article underlines that the creating cluster must be based on working out the concept of forming and functioning of the tourist and recreational cluster, which must be based on the wellgrounded infrastructure and technological network of creating the final product, and on the organizational community of the participants' interests and opportunities for maneuvering the available resources. Such approach increases the interest of municipalities, population, and region in the cluster integration, activates the mani-festation of the synergetic and cumulative effect, and also leads to forming the effect of multiplier in the region development.
