tion, SDG 4 (education), SDG-5 (gender equality), SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation), SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy), and SDG 8 (economic growth). The
following chapter by Franco and Newey looks at responsible production and consumption practices under the SDG 12 umbrella. Based on a case study method, this
chapter shows how the corporate sector can contribute to sustainable community
development through a multidimensional approach to wellbeing for entrepreneurship. It also provides some conceptual and practical tools towards enhanced accountability for sustainable production and therefore the achievement of SDG 12. Next,
Chap. 14 by Franco, Tapia and Tracey provides a capacity-building framework to
move from climate education to action and towards the achievement of SDG 13.
Chapter 15 by Palomino discusses SDG 14 target of life below water by looking
through utilization of fish skin as a sustainable raw material for fashion industry.
Fish skin leather processing could prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution
and sustainably protect marine ecosystems in order to achieve healthy and productive oceans. As such this also promotes SDG 12 targets. The fashion industry is also
the topic of discussion of Chap. 16 by Arana, Franco, et al. This chapter links to
Goal 15 Life on Land as it explores alternative organic materials and recycled processes for the sustainable production of yarns used in the fashion industry in a sustainable manner. Chapter 17 by Franco and Derbyshire makes a strong contribution
to SDG 16 as it examines the role of women in sustainable peace in the context of
resource regions. Chapter 17 explores the role of global business networks in the
pursuit of corporate accountability and sustainability reporting. The book finishes
drawing conclusions and impact sustainability recommendations.
The book highlights the value of sustainability science on newly emerging and
innovative approach towards research, education, capacity-building and practice in
order to transform rhetoric into impact sustainability while encompassing cases from
various industries, sectors and geographical contexts. The case studies are collected
from different geographical contexts and industries, provide insights into themes that
cut across sustainability science and that aid the fulfilment of the SDGs building more
resilient, sustainable, equal and inclusive societies and the environment.
