Business technologies in the context of SD: issues of theory and practice

The sustainable development paradigm involves a shift from a consumption and production model based on resource consumption and ecological destruction to one focused on sustainability, resource efficiency and environmental conservation. It also means paying attention to social justice, ensuring equal opportunities and access to resources for all members of society.

The recently concluded ІІ International Scientific and Practical Conference "Paradigm of Sustainable Economic Development in the Conditions of Global Changes: Challenges, Consequences, Opportunities" dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University Higher School of Economics and Business turned out to be not only a bright event in the scientific life of the university, but also a source of important knowledge, ideas and inspiration for all its participants.

The participation of international scholars and researchers at the conference brought new perspectives, knowledge and experience to the common dialog. It was not only an opportunity to share scientific results, but also a chance for international networking and collaboration.
