Title CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SDGs THROUGH SOCIAL AND ECO ENTREPRENEURSHIP: NEW MINDSETS FOR SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
Year 2018
Published
Abstract New mindsets and innovative thinking (ABIS, 2017; Moon, 2013, 2014, 2015; Moon, Walmsley, & Apostolopoulos, 2018) are needed to deliver on everything from good health and well-being to affordable and clean energy. This chapter reviews the latest trends globally to tackling pressing social and environmental problems (2016-2018), focuses on a sample of 100 projects, mapped against the UN SDGs and evaluated on their 'innovation' and scalability and selects 25 projects related to 'circular economy' solutions for a more in-depth consideration. The projects cover a range of applications including Buildings, Food, Energy, Transportation, Resources and Education. The key research question is: what strategic policy support is needed for enterprise & entrepreneurship education to develop the necessary multi collaborative and cross disciplinary mindsets and skills that such projects require? Reference is made to global risks and sustainability solutions, skills needed for the green economy and implications for enterprise development and entrepreneurship education. Findings reveal the need for new measures of eco and social mindset that will support the development of the creative and innovative solutions necessary for tackling the UN SDGs.
