Full Description
Sustainable development is a dynamic field with continuous advancements. However, it also faces emerging challenges that require sparks of innovation to address them. There is a need to innovate and rethink solutions to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) by 2030.
To both inspire and educate, the editors have brought together a collection of case studies and systematic literature reviews on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that examine innovative social science, business, governance, and environmental policy practices to offer actionable insights for achieving global goals. Going beyond merely defining the 17 SDGs; the book examines the multifaceted ways innovation can be harnessed as an enabler for their attainment. It contemplates innovation as introducing new ideas, methods, approaches, or technologies that draw upon expertise and insights from diverse fields and disciplines.
This book is an invitation to embrace innovation as the vital catalyst for achieving the SDGs. It calls individuals, business leaders, policymakers, organizations, and governments worldwide to recognize that innovation is indispensable in our quest for a sustainable future. The real-world case studies and synthesis of existing research presented in the book exhibit the potential of innovation to address critical global challenges—from poverty and climate change to education and healthcare.
