“…Companies and entrepreneurs are allocated an important role in sustainable development, both by academics and policymakers. Companies and entrepreneurs that seek to induce environmental, social, and ethical change are identified as agents of change [ 2 , 30 , 65 ]. The literature labels them as green companies or entrepreneurs [ 2 , 14 , 25 , 65 ].…”

Eco-innovations are required to solve the environmental issues in the fashion industry, but their widespread implementation and diffusion is still limited. Both literature and practice indicate that multi-stakeholder cooperation can provide necessary knowledge, scale, and resources that single actors lack. This qualitative research employed an explorative case-study approach to develop an understanding of how and why certain fashion companies in Sweden innovate and what role cooperation has in their eco-innovative activities. The findings suggest the importance of environmental motivations, market opportunities, and cluster effects. These findings contribute to the development of strategies for a sustainable transition of the fashion industry.

“…Desde este contexto, la literatura reciente analiza la relación entre el emprendimiento verde con temas como el desarrollo económico (Vasilevska & Rivza, 2018), la economía ambiental (Soomro et al, 2020), la economía verde (Ahmad et al, 2015;Al-Saleh & Mahroum, 2015;Maziriri et al, 2019;Soomro et al, 2020) la innovación tecnológica (Andrae & Escudero, 2019;Hall et al, 2019;Hoogendoorn et al, 2020), y la formulación de políticas (Al-Saleh & Mahroum, 2015;Ge et al, 2018). Adicionalmente, estudios previos (Allen & Malin, 2008;Gast et al, 2017;Ge et al, 2018;Gibbs & O'Neill, 2014;Haldar, 2019b;Hoogendoorn et al, 2020;Levinsohn, 2013;Nikolaou et al, 2011;Papadopoulos et al, 2014;Shrivastava & Tamvada, 2019;Yu & Gibbs, 2020;Zhao et al, 2020) profundizan en los vínculos del emprendimiento verde con la sostenibilidad.…”

Existe una tendencia creciente hacia la creación de negocios verdes, como respuesta a los problemas ambientales. Sin embargo, la literatura destaca la necesidad de comprender mejor este tipo de emprendimientos. En ese orden de ideas, el presente trabajo analiza la literatura científica relacionada con el emprendimiento verde desde dos perspectivas: individual y empresarial. Primero, se describen las tendencias en este campo de investigación considerado como emergente y luego se realiza un análisis de contenido para identificar los principales dominios temáticos. Esta revisión sistemática exploratoria incluye 18 artículos empíricos publicados entre 2010 y 2020 e indexados en la base de datos Scopus. Los resultados indican que, desde la perspectiva empresarial, la literatura se enfoca principalmente en el análisis de los facilitadores, las prácticas y las condiciones para el desarrollo de emprendimientos verdes. Por otra parte, desde la perspectiva individual, los estudios abordan la intención emprendedora. Adicionalmente, se encontró que ambas perspectivas analizan la relación entre el emprendimiento verde y la innovación.

“…Sustainability proposals constituted by local governments and various participants [59][60][61][62][63][64][65] demonstrate the heterogeneous aspects of urban transformative capacity. Configuring robust policies or articulating groundbreaking infrastructures may enhance the operation of urban systems and carry out sustainability goals.…”

In this systematic review, I cumulate previous research findings indicating that sustainable urbanism and networked public governance can be instrumental in carrying out extensive sustainability and resilience objectives through steering urban transformations in the direction of sustainability and resilience. Urban analytics data infrastructure, multicriteria sustainability evaluation, and sustainable performance assessment display the intricate network dynamics operational within cities, impacting urban resilience decision-making processes and leading to equitable and sustainable urban development. Throughout July 2020, I conducted a quantitative literature review of the Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases, search terms including “sustainable urban planning,” “urban sustainability assessment,” “sustainable urban governance/urban sustainability governance,” “sustainable urban development,” “sustainable/sustainability behavior,” and “environmental performance.” As I focused on research published exclusively in the past two years, only 301 various types of articles met the eligibility criteria. By removing those whose results were inconclusive, unconfirmed by replication, or too general, and because of space constraints, I selected 153, mainly empirical, sources. Future research should investigate whether the assessment of environmental sustainability performance of heterogeneous urban configurations by shared sustainability policymaking through spatial green infrastructure planning and regulations articulate sustainable urban design and governance for the development of innovative performance.
