Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the United Nations a few years ago, addresses the most pressing challenges of our time, generated by enormous disparities of opportunity, wealth and power, such as climate change, social injustice, human rights and economic growth. At its heart, are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries—developed and developing—in a global partnership. They recognize equitable sustainable development as all that ends poverty and other deprivations, which must go hand in hand with strategies for sustainable development that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth—all while tackling climate change and working to preserve the natural habitat. Since MSMEs are the foundation of our economies and society, they are at the critical leading edge of the U.N.’s sustainable development initiative.
Sustainable entrepreneurs are our best hope to achieve the SDGs, working within a network of like-minded visionaries and innovators. This Special Issue of the Sustainability journal aims to document cases of sustainable entrepreneurship across the world and to accelerate knowledge about what works and could be amplified.
This Special Issue on “Challenges for Sustainable Entrepreneurship in the Context of U.N. 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” will fill an important gap in the literature by exploring the relationships between sustainable entrepreneurship and 17 SDGs. In this sense, we encourage original submissions, including review articles as well as theoretical and empirical contributions related to the following themes:
- Entrepreneurship and reduction in poverty—ending poverty everywhere in all its forms;
- Entrepreneurship and sustainable agriculture;
- Entrepreneurship and promotion of well-being;
- Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial education;
- Entrepreneurship and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all;
- Entrepreneurship and affordable/clean energy;
- Entrepreneurship and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all;
- Entrepreneurship and promotion of sustainable industrialization and innovation;
- Entrepreneurship and sustainable cities and communities;
- Entrepreneurship and responsible consumption and production;
- Entrepreneurship and action to combat climate change and its impacts;
- Entrepreneurship and the sustainable use of oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development;
