The volume underscores the importance of context-sensitive innovation that responds to local needs while aligning with global sustainability objectives. Offering both conceptual frameworks and practical strategies, this book provides a roadmap for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers committed to integrating innovation with sustainable development. It will be of particular interest to those engaged in economics, environmental studies, public policy, development studies, and the broader sustainability discourse.
