Building Digital, Sustainable, and Resilient Organizations to Meet Global Climate Commitments

Organizations worldwide face unprecedented challenges arising from digital disruption, climate change, resource constraints, and growing regulatory and societal pressures to meet global sustainability commitments. These conditions require organizations to move beyond isolated innovation efforts and develop resilience as a core strategic capability. At the same time, digital technologies are reshaping how organizations manage information, coordinate operations, and implement sustainability strategies across complex global networks. Integrating digital transformation with sustainable practices is therefore becoming essential for building resilient organizations capable of meeting global climate and development goals. Building Digital, Sustainable, and Resilient Organizations to Meet Global Climate Commitments examines how digital technologies, sustainability-oriented management practices, and organizational capabilities can be integrated to build resilient and future-ready organizations. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, the book bridges fragmented research on digital transformation, sustainability, and resilience, offering conceptual, empirical, and applied insights to advance theory, inform practice, and support policy in an increasingly complex and climate-constrained world. Covering topics such as inclusion engines, decarbonization, and financial technology, this book is an excellent academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, managers, consultants, policymakers, and more.
