Entrepreneurship, Sustainability and Social Responsibility – The importance of Agenda 2030

How can entrepreneurship contribute to a more sustainable world? The research anthology Entrepreneurship, Sustainability and Social Responsibility focuses on the importance of social entrepreneurship for achieving the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

In this book, Swedish and international researchers discuss the role of social entrepreneurship in solving social, environmental and cultural challenges. For example, it discusses how social entrepreneurship can create local change, and how these entrepreneurs often find new solutions, empower vulnerable groups and work for long-term sustainable development. However, lack of funding, complex regulations and difficulties in growing are also discussed. Researchers argue that stronger partnerships between social entrepreneurs, governments, businesses and non-profit organizations are needed to achieve greater impact.

A chapter by researchers at Örebro University shows that higher education can play a key role. Through a study of a Swedish entrepreneurship program where students solve social problems in interdisciplinary and needs-based ways, it is seen that entrepreneurship can also be a way to learn sustainability.
