In The Need for Sustainable Tourism in an Era of Global Climate Change: Pathway to a Greener Future, the authors delve into the critical transition from traditional to sustainable tourism. This comprehensive work examines the essential policy initiatives required at individual, organizational, national, and global levels to foster sustainable tourism practices. Offering an in-depth analysis of the identification and implementation of green infrastructure, green travel, green hotels, and green energy, the authors argue that its successful implementation can significantly contribute to achieving sustainable development goals and cultivating a green global economy.

This will be an indispensable resource for both students and practitioners who wish to understand and promote sustainable tourism in our rapidly changing world.

Our use or rather overuse of natural resources is having an increasingly drastic and adverse effect on the environment. Behavioural economics uses the concepts and elements of psychology and applies them in economic decision-making. It has been identified that behavioural economics can be used to tackle the issue of climate change by using ‘nudges’ to influence people to make choices that are more eco-friendly. Behavioural economics also accept the presence of cognitive biases in the decision-making process, and one solution to reduce the biases is instigating ‘nudges’ that increase the probability of making optimal decisions.

The book therefore provides an in-depth understanding of the environmental and climatic issues and the role played by people’s psychology in addressing them. The book highlights cognitive biases and nudges that can be used to negate or reduce the negative impact of decision-making on the environment.

The book provides a detailed explanation of the topic along with illustrations, tables, and case studies that make it easy to understand and apply the concepts. The methods, results, and topics covered in the book will be of particular interest to readers interested in behavioural economics, sustainable development, environmental conservation, and various biases that impact decision-making and the nudges that are used and can be used to bring environment protection.

The main benefit that readers will derive from the book is a comprehensive understanding of behaviour, biases and nudge-based solutions and their potential to address major challenges faced while making decisions. The book is helpful for policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and students interested in behavioural economics, biases, sustainable development, and environmental protection.

This book offers a comprehensive detail about the role that corporate social responsibility can play in promoting sustainable development thereby ensuring a resilient and greener future for all. The book emphasises how business strategies and environmental harmony are becoming more integrated, thereby supporting the agenda towards a sustainable development.

The synergistic and symbiotic relationship between social responsibility and sustainability has evolved over the years with enterprises becoming more aware of their commitment towards ethical, equitable, inclusive, and environmentally conscious practices. Adopting a socially responsible attitude by the new age entrepreneurs represents the paradigm shift in how corporations understand and undertake their regular activities. The traditional objective of wealth maximisation that the enterprises followed led to severe misutilisation of resources in terms of its environmental and societal impact and led to severe corporate disasters. It gave rise to adopting alternative objectives that are not only holistic but also combine concern for profits, humanity, society, and, above all, the environment. The result is that almost every major corporation has adopted a code of conduct and established the necessary management structures and procedures to ensure compliance with the newly framed objective of socially responsible profits. Consequently, the concept of corporate social responsibility has acquired momentum in recent times. This has come after the realisation that social responsibility is a significant environmental and organisational sustainability dimension that only some enterprises can sustain for a while. Over the years, this harmonisation has ushered in significant progress, reshaping the perspective of businesses towards their societal and environmental impact.

This contributed volume, the first in a set of two, explores the intersection of innovation and sustainability, investigating how transformative practices across various industries and regions are advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It highlights a wide network of solutions and real-world examples that integrate various SDG principles into business and government strategies. The chapters cover diverse topics, including green finance, human resource management, sustainable marketing, and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies, showcasing how innovation is driving the global transition towards a more sustainable future.

The geographic diversity represented in this section—including contributions from Italy, Brazil, Vietnam, India, and Malaysia—provides a rich, multi-regional perspective on sustainable development. The chapters reflect the dynamic ways in which innovation is being harnessed to address pressing global challenges, with a focus on both local and global contexts. Each chapter offers in-depth case studies and practical examples, illustrating how SDG principles are being integrated into various sectors to foster long-term sustainability. Together, these contributions emphasize the critical role of innovative strategies and practices in achieving the SDGs and building a more resilient, sustainable world for future generations.

This book comprehensively covers the contemporary topic of circular economy and its role in promoting environmental resilience and sustainability. It provides extensive coverage by focusing on the existing environmental issues and how circular practices can help mitigate climate change and bring a development that is not only inclusive but also green.
