Fostering Sustainable Development: Renewable Energy and Social Entrepreneurship in the Middle East
摘要
This chapter focuses on how social entrepreneurship and renewable energy could solve Middle Eastern social, environmental, and financial challenges. Challenges include political unrest, poor government, and cultural opposition that impede the best use of the Middle East’s significant solar and wind resources. Driven by renewable energy projects, this chapter investigates the possibilities of social entrepreneurship to support sustainable development, economic diversification, and community empowerment. It also underlines supporting aspects, evaluates issues, and suggests laws to encourage regional social entrepreneurship and the development of renewable energy sources.
