Empowering Women Through Microfinance in Developing Countries is a book that explores how microfinance can be used to empower women in developing countries. It provides theoretical and empirical insights from industry experts, experienced researchers, and policymakers on the problems, processes, and prospects of using microfinance as a catalyst for women's empowerment in the developing world. The book covers a range of topics, including the impact of microfinance interventions on women's empowerment, financial inclusion, and women's entrepreneurship, poverty reduction among women, and small and medium-sized enterprise growth. This book addresses the lack of understanding about how microfinance can be used to empower women in developing countries. The insights provided in this book will be valuable for researchers, students, microfinance institutions, policymakers, state institutions, managers, non-governmental organizations, and financial institutions looking to expand their product portfolio and outreach. The book also provides policy directions and rethinking of practice in using microfinance as a strategy for eliminating barriers to women's empowerment in developing countries.

This book offers a new, nuanced, and comprehensive look at how CSR is practiced and disclosed in terms of corporate transparency, sustainability, and accountability, from the perspective of developing and emerging economies. Given the importance and power of emerging economies in shaping global gross domestic product (GDP), entrepreneurship, and corporate investment, it is crucial to examine this phenomenon in terms of corporate sustainability and achieving the ideals of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for a more sustainable future. The book therefore addresses contextual institutional, regulatory, and governance issues in these regions to contribute to the debate as well as a rethinking of the motivation for CSR practice and reporting. The book will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, and students.

This book studies the intersection of financial innovation, the environment, and enterprise, elucidating how these elements foster sustainable enterprises in developing and emerging economies. The contributions present a fresh, nuanced, and comprehensive examination of how innovative financing technologies and entrepreneurial innovations promote sustainable enterprises in these regions. Contributions from experts, academics, and practitioners across Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and South America offer diverse perspectives.Given the pivotal role of enterprises in fostering economic growth and the significant influence of emerging and developing economies on global GDP, entrepreneurship, and business investment, it is critically imperative to explore this phenomenon for business sustainability and the attainment of sustainable development goals (SDGs) for a more sustainable future. Consequently, it is plausible to argue that deepening awareness of the intricate relationship between innovative financing technologies, the business environment, and entrepreneurial innovations to promote sustainable enterprises in developing and emerging economies would not only enhance understanding but also stimulate debate and provoke a reassessment of appropriate financing models and tools for supporting enterprise growth and sustainability in these regions.While many finance and enterprise books tend to narrow their focus on developed economies, this book stands out for its wide-ranging and broad scope. It endeavors to explore issues from the perspectives of developing and emerging economies, offering readers a deeper and broader understanding of the challenges and opportunities at hand.

This book is a timely addition to the growing body of research on the intersection between sustainability initiatives, climate change, and how these efforts can help transition the world to a greener and more equitable path by 2050. The time for action on sustainability is now. Global climate change, environmental degradation, and the depletion of natural resources pose existential threats to our planet and humanity. The edited volume charts an ambitious yet achievable course toward a more sustainable future.The book is organised into five thematic parts that mirror the multifaceted nature of sustainability. The opening section lays the conceptual and analytical foundations for global sustainability transitions, addressing finance, governance, behavioral change, urban resilience, and sustainable tourism. Subsequent sections examine the transformative role of education, research and innovation; the strategic and operational implications of the circular economy; the potential of renewable energy, digitalisation and artificial intelligence to support greener systems; and the social and economic dimensions that underpin equitable and just transitions. Together, these contributions illustrate that sustainability is not the responsibility of a single sector or discipline, but a shared societal endeavour requiring coordinated action across multiple levels.
