About the Book
It is with great pleasure that we present Mapping the Social and Environmental Concerns for Sustainable Economic Development, an edited volume that brings together diverse scholarly perspectives on one of the most critical challenges of our time—the pursuit of economic development that is socially inclusive, environmentally responsible, and economically sustainable. As nations across the world strive to achieve balanced growth, there is an increasing recognition that long-term prosperity cannot be realized without addressing pressing social inequalities, environmental degradation, climate change, resource depletion, and governance challenges. This volume seeks to contribute to this global discourse by providing a multidisciplinary platform for research and innovation. The chapters included in this book encompass a wide range of themes related to sustainable development, environmental conservation, social equity, climate resilience, green economy, circular economy, corporate social responsibility, sustainable business practices, public policy, renewable energy, resource management, social entrepreneurship, rural and urban development, financial inclusion, environmental governance, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each contribution offers valuable theoretical insights, empirical findings, and practical recommendations that deepen our understanding of the complex relationships between society, the environment, and economic development.
