This book explores how innovation can serve as a powerful catalyst for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). As the world grapples with challenges such as climate change, inequality, health crises, and education gaps, this book presents innovation not only as a technological advancement but as a multidimensional process involving social, cultural, institutional, and organizational transformation. Through a rich compilation of real-world case studies, cross-disciplinary perspectives, and evidence-based insights, the book explores how innovative strategies are being designed and implemented across sectors to foster inclusive development, economic resilience, and environmental stewardship. It highlights how community-led solutions, digital tools, policy reforms, and collaborative frameworks can contribute to systemic change and more sustainable futures. The volume underscores the importance of context-sensitive innovation that responds to local needs while aligning with global sustainability objectives. Offering both conceptual frameworks and practical strategies, this book provides a roadmap for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers committed to integrating innovation with sustainable development. It will be of particular interest to those engaged in economics, environmental studies, public policy, development studies, and the broader sustainability discourse.
