Call for Papers Deadline: Regional Sustainable Economic Development around the Global
March 9 @ 11:30 pm EDT
Monmouth University and the McMullen Family invite submissions for the first annual workshop on “Regional Sustainable Economic Development around the Globe”, on June 6–7, 2025. The workshop is co-organized by the Joint Research Center of the European Commission, the Institute of Global Business and Society at TH Köln, and CED (Center for Economic Development & Social Change).
Climate change, and the responses in both the public and private sector have led to an increasing presence of sustainability in all parts of the economy. Much attention is given to the analysis on the global and national level, while also at the regional level these challenges need to be addressed. According to the OECD (2023), “quality regional development policy is essential for inclusive economic outcomes, well-being, environmental sustainability, and resilience. Regions, cities and rural areas play a crucial role in responding to megatrends including climate change, digitalization, demographic shifts, and globalization.” The workshop aims to bring together academics, policymakers and industry representatives to discuss these challenges and to learn from each other.
Topics include, but are not necessarily limited to:
- climate risks, climate change and the impact on the regional economy
- regional economic and environmental policies, strategies and management
- sustainable coastal development
- energy and ecological transition
- green transition, resilience and inclusiveness
- climate change, migration and the regional economy
- ESG, CSR and environmental management
- green finance, insurance of climate risks
- micro, small and medium sized local businesses and the challenges of climate risks
- sustainable entrepreneurship and green marketing
Studies can be on regions from advanced, emerging or developing economies.
