The strategic management of the transition to renewable energy sources is an utmost priority for developing nations to combat energy instability and climate change. Global cooperation and SDG–aligned policy execution are increasingly driving this transition in Pakistan. Pakistan’s foreign policy focuses on sustainable energy transition to address environmental problems and the growing energy demand, in line with SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action). This qualitative strategy research examines Pakistan’s renewable energy policies, international collaboration, and the implementation of large-scale projects. Systematic content analysis was used to scrutinize government reports, treaties, policy papers, and multilateral agreements. Theme coding and inclusion criteria highlighted important policy measures, diplomatic efforts, and project outcomes. This research is unique because it weighs the pros and cons of energy projects, such as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), big hydropower dams, solar and wind parks, and guidelines for electric cars. Debt sustainability, social and environmental effects, governance problems, and grid integration are all important. The study systematically records bilateral and multilateral MoUs, project capacity, financial sources, and operational status to assess Pakistan’s energy diplomacy and strategic standing. The research shows that global partnerships and legislative initiatives have accelerated the adoption of renewable energy; however, institutional barriers and socio-environmental trade-offs persist. The study offers a distinctive perspective on Pakistan’s foreign policy’s influence on its transition to renewable energy, along with pragmatic suggestions to enhance governance, financing, and sustainable energy diplomacy.

This study rigorously investigates the psychological mechanisms that link corporate sustainability initiatives to long-term customer loyalty in the high-involvement residential construction sector. Anchored in the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) paradigm, the research empirically tests whether Perceived Sustainable Value (PSV) acts as a mediator between a firm’s Triple Bottom Line (TBL) performance and customer loyalty. Employing an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, the study combines Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with qualitative reflexive thematic analysis, using 412 recent homebuyers in Thailand and 12 follow-up interviews. The quantitative results establish that PSV fully mediates the pathway from TBL stimuli to behavioral loyalty. Notably, Perceived Social Performance emerged as the most dominant predictor of value, challenging the traditional environmental bias prevalent in green marketing literature. The qualitative findings reveal that consumers utilize a firm’s social performance as a primary heuristic for moral integrity and structural safety, while independent green building certifications act as crucial credibility signals to bridge information asymmetry. Ultimately, the study confirms that sustainable business practices must be actively translated into multidimensional psychological value to cultivate enduring customer loyalty successfully.

Globally, climate change continues to disrupt food systems. Determinants such as gradually rising temperatures and extreme weather patterns have a significant impact on these systems resulting in inconsistencies that ultimately impair their sustainability. This study focused on investigating climate-induced discrepancies in food system synergy and their impact on the sustainability of youth agripreneurs. The study was conducted in the Musina municipality of the Limpopo province. Simple random sampling was used to select the study participants, while structured questionnaires were administered during in-person interviews. The multinomial logistic regression model was used to investigate the influence of climate-induced discrepancies on the sustainability of agribusiness enterprises owned by young farmers. The study’s findings revealed that climate-induced discrepancies had a severe impact on the collapse, survival, and sustainability of agribusiness enterprises. Subsequently, these discrepancies had both progressive and regressive influences on the sustainability of agribusiness enterprises at various stages of their life cycle. At a policy level, the study recommends joint collaborative investment efforts in localized input manufacturing facilities, as this will help mitigate fluctuations in input prices and sustain their availability. . Future studies could focus on integrating the economic viability of a commodity-tailored resilience approach, thereby providing insights into the coping mechanisms that are ideal and cost-effective for specific regions and agricultural enterprises.
