Green Technology, Environmental Management and Corporate Social Responsibility from a Global Perspective

Dear Colleagues,

At present, human beings continue to face a variety of complex international issues, such as climate change, energy crisis, and raging epidemics, which have triggered a long-term weakening of global economic expectations and have seriously threatened the well-being of residents. Many governments have proposed that an inclusive global economic development pattern should be built. On the one hand, major international economies participated in the formulation of the "Paris Climate Agreement" to carry out carbon neutrality and carbon peaking reforms, and improved the sustainable development capacity of the global economy through measures such as optimizing the energy supply and demand structure and cooperation in the international regulation of the natural environment. On the other hand, the public health emergency represented by COVID-19 has prompted many economic entities and the public to jointly explore a new “people-oriented” approach to urban governance, which will involve urban resource management, human settlements, and emergency response. It is worth noting that, as the main participants in economic activities and the main providers of production materials, enterprises need to undertake the responsibilities of reducing environmental pollution, protecting labor rights and participating in social governance. To this end, we urgently need to explore research in the fields of environmental management, public health, and green technology innovation from the perspectives of the international community, regions, enterprises, and the people.

This Special Issue focuses on explaining and predicting changes in the behavior of individuals, organizations, and countries in building inclusive development environments, as well as the challenges and opportunities that may be faced in the process. Through academic seminars, we discuss the guiding experience of social governance and economic development models in different countries and regions and different cultural backgrounds. Indeed, how to realize the relationship between economic inclusive development and the natural environment and social environment is one of the key issues of common concern in the fields of economic science, environmental science, and public administration science. Therefore, this Special Issue welcomes relevant and interdisciplinary original research articles and review articles. While the focus will be on empirical articles, articles with an editorial style or those that propose methodological innovations will also be considered.
