Sustainability, Resilience and Enterprise: Creating an Equitable Social Ecosystem
Kaushik, T., Girotra, R., Singh, S., Asif, S., & Yadav, S.
The United Nations' seventeen Sustainable Development Goals set a clear destination, but reaching them inside real businesses and communities is far harder than naming them. This edited book takes that implementation gap as its starting point, asking how enterprises can build resilience and equity into the way they actually operate.
Organised into sections aligned with the Goals, the volume takes an interdisciplinary route, drawing not only on technology and environmental science but also on social challenges, management perspectives, and the role of law. It concentrates on three areas: how the corporate sector can embed sustainable practice; health and well-being, including food security, accessible healthcare technology, and responsible resource use; and sustainable infrastructure and ecosystems, from energy optimisation to efficient consumption and waste disposal.
Rather than treating sustainability as theory, the book offers a practical approach to achieving and implementing the goals, examining them from both micro and macro perspectives. Its contributions are framed to be relevant to domestic and global audiences seeking workable routes towards an equitable, resilient social ecosystem.
Structured around the United Nations' seventeen Sustainable Development Goals, this Bloomsbury volume tackles how enterprises actually implement sustainability rather than merely endorse it. Spanning corporate practice, health and well-being, and sustainable infrastructure, and drawing on technology, management, and law, it offers a practical, interdisciplinary route to an equitable, resilient social ecosystem at micro and macro scales.
- The book is organised into sections aligned with the United Nations' seventeen Sustainable Development Goals, framing sustainability not as an abstract ideal but as targets that enterprises and communities must practically implement.
- Its approach is deliberately interdisciplinary, combining technology and environmental science with social challenges, management perspectives, and the role of law, rather than treating sustainability as a purely technical or ecological concern.
- Three areas anchor the volume: sustainable practices in the corporate sector; health and well-being, including food security and accessible healthcare technology; and sustainable infrastructure covering energy, consumption, and waste.
- Examining the goals from both micro and macro perspectives, the book offers a practical, implementation-focused route towards an equitable social ecosystem, framed to be relevant to both domestic and global audiences.
