Economic, social and environmental sustainability in uncertainty times

This paper provides an introduction to this Special Issue on sustainability from different approaches. In a global situation of uncertainty due to wars, political conflicts, elections, social inequalities, and climate emergency, sustainability emerges as a potential solution. However, the pursuit of social, economic, and environmental sustainability is a complex task with many facets. Our contribution is multifaceted and ranges from insurance to zombie companies, climate change regulation, temporary trade measures, financial reporting transparency standards, earnings management, and social enterprises, among others. This introduction provides an overview of all the topics that we have covered as well as their main findings and implications.
