Environmental Entrepreneurship: Markets Meet the Environment in Unexpected Places

摘要

Concern about the impact of economic activities on the environment is increasing worldwide, as evidence of the consequences of climate change and poor natural resource management for humanity constantly draws our attention. Reconciliation between economic development/wealth generation and environmental preservation is emerging, however, as entrepreneurs discover opportunities to create new solutions that will overcome the still dominant thinking along the lines of contradiction between these two issues. Environmental Entrepreneurship Markets Meet the Environment in Unexpected Places by Laura Huggins and her two contributors addresses these new possibilities and solutions. Presenting five case studies in developing countries and in the USA, it reveals how entrepreneurs are finding innovative solutions in order to improve local economies and environmental quality.
