The purpose of the article is to study the current international experience and determine the prospects for improving the environmental management of companies in the oil and gas markets based on AI in the interests of sustainable development. Relying on variation analysis and correlation analysis methods, it has been substantiated that environmental management have significant impact on companies from the perspective of social LCA, which has an impact on the competitive ability of companies. Relying on the IPAT-method, it has been proven that technology is a key factor which determines this impact. As a result, it has been proved on the example of the case experience of the largest energy companies in Russia in 2022 that the environmental management of oil and gas companies creates advantages not only for the environment but also for financial efficiency and stability (break-even operation) of these companies (implementation of SDG 8). Using the example of the international experience of energy companies (from the UAE, Sweden, the UK, the USA and Japan), it has been proved that AI can play a much greater role in the oil and gas markets, contributing not only to ensuring a deficit-free energy economy (the implementation of SDG 7) but also to environmental protection (the implementation of SDGs 13-15). The best practices of using AI in each selected sector of the oil and gas industry were studied and a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the benefits of AI was carried out. Thirdly, the most promising use of AI in the sector of environmental management for environmental economics and management is substantiated. It is proven that the options for environmental management can be different and specific to a particular object. Thanks to the results obtained in the course of the study, a systematic view of the prospects for the sustainable development of oil and gas markets has been formed, and the importance of AI for this process has been demonstrated. The theoretical significance of the study consists in expanding the existing understanding of the use of AI in the practice of environmental management of energy companies and clarifying its contribution to the implementation of the SDGs.
Currently, much attention is paid to the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in Russia and Sweeden. The article, in particular, considers how those countries archived the SDG goal № 7 that plays an important role in ensuring the general access to electric energy, clean fuels and cooking technologies; renewable energy sources and reduction in CO2 emissions. In addition, the article looks into the development of single-industry towns in the countries of the world, as well as their achievement of SDG goal 7. Priority is given to examples of best practices for achieving SDG Goal 7 in single-industry towns in Russia and Sweden.
Nowadays the Republic of Turkey implements an active foreign policy with active using of institutions and instruments of economic diplomacy. The purpose of the article is to determine the most effective institutions of eco- nomic diplomacy in Turkey using rating methods, as well as their ranking in proportion to the impact of the activities of the institutions on the formation and regulation of economic relations of the republic with various subjects of the world economy. As a sampling frame the authors took, both the state or- ganizations and private associations differing in their fields of activity (from organizations that ensure the implementation of state programs and support measures, to sectoral business unions, from ministries to credit and financial organizations), in order to analyse the actors of economic diplomacy in this country as detailed as possible. They provide brief background information for each institute. A range of factors is used to assess the effectiveness of all chosen institutes. It consists of eight main and three additional ones: the number of ne- gotiations with foreign partners, agreements signed, international events held, representation abroad, participation in the work of international organizations, the number of existing initiatives, the amount of financial support, the number of publications; in addition, event analysis mentions in the media (according to information from the largest news resources – Hürriyet, HaberTurk, Anadolu Ajansı). Among those factors there are both quantitative and qualitative factors determined by the author. Based on the assessments, the final rating of the ef- fectiveness of the studied actors will be compiled and the characteristic features of economic diplomacy in the Republic of Turkey are also to be highlighted.
