**Preface to "Resource Provision of the Sustainable Development under Global Shocks"**

The fundamental basis of sustainable development is the efficient and rational use of mineral and fuel resources. However, ensuring the necessary levels of efficiency requires stable logistics, as well as natural resource recovery, which is an extremely acute industrial problem. In an attempt to identify possible solutions to these problems, this book is focused on the development of the resource potential of the Arctic, as one of the most promising territories in terms of provision of sustainable development with mineral and energy resources. This book, which consists of 11 articles written by research experts in their topic of interest, reports the most recent research on the development of Arctic raw materials deposits, extending global logistic chains and improving the sustainability of industrial activities. Several novel and fascinating methods related to the sustainable development of Arctic region and companies are introduced.
