Blockchain is a disruptive technology that is revolutionizing information technology and represents a change of cultural paradigm for the way in which information is shared. Companies are rushing to understand how they can use blockchain distributed ledger technology to innovate processes, products and transactions. In a globalized world where environmental sustainability is a critical success factor, what is the role of the blockchain? By using a systematic review approach and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol, this study attempts to identify whether and how blockchain technology is considered able to affect environmental sustainability. Findings from 195 studies from 2015 to 2020 were analysed after the search protocol was applied. The results indicate that blockchain technology could contribute to environmentally sustainable development goals (SDGs) from different points of view, such as supporting the realization of a sustainable supply chain, improving energy efficiency and promoting the creation of secure and reliable smart cities. Furthermore, the investigation highlights the sectors where to focus research investments, providing a way to reward sustainable behaviour and increasing environmental sustainability. On the other hand, blockchain has no negligible negative effects on the environment that need to be considered before adoption.

“…A more explicit and expansive engagement with value creation thus requires asking questions such as what future do we want, why do we want this future, who defines it, and transformation by and for whom? As many chapters demonstrate, this extends our analytical gaze towards more capacious forms of innovation that encompass technological, social, grassroot, and public-sector innovation (Coenen & Morgan, 2020), opens our eyes to the potential dark sides of innovation (Biggi & Giuliani, 2020), and effectively opens up a more contested view on innovation and regional development that forefronts the notion of responsibility (Jakobsen, Fløysand, & Overton, 2019). While refreshing and original on many accounts, the book remains however loyal to a central premise in the regional development literature namely that of being empirically grounded and place-based.…”

Sustainable Development Goals Series

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

World leaders adopted Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Providing in-depth knowledge, this series fosters comprehensive research on these global targets to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change.The sustainability of our planet is currently a major concern for the global community and has been a central theme for a number of major global initiatives in recent years. Perceiving a dire need for concrete benchmarks toward sustainable development, the United Nations and world leaders formulated the targets that make up the seventeen goals. The SDGs call for action by all countries to promote prosperity while protecting Earth and its life support systems. This series on the Sustainable Development Goals aims to provide a comprehensive platform for scientific, teaching and research communities working on various global issues in the field of geography, earth sciences, environmental science, social sciences, engineering, policy, planning, and human geosciences in order to contribute knowledge towards achieving the current 17 Sustainable Development Goals.This Series is organized into eighteen subseries: one based around each of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals, and an eighteenth subseries, "Connecting the Goals, " which serves as a home for volumes addressing multiple goals or studying the SDGs as a whole. Each subseries is guided by an expert Subseries Advisor.Contributions are welcome from scientists, policy makers and researchers working in fields related to any of the SDGs.

“…Another nuance is how we view innovation. Policy makers and academics largely assume that innovation is universally good and tend to ignore potential downsides (Biggi & Giuliani, 2021;Coad et al, 2021). Innovation can-and often does-have both positive and negative effects and these are usually unevenly distributed.…”

Taking the systems approaches out of their comfort zones: Perspectives from under explored contexts

This special issue tackles two “trendy” topics much discussed at present by the community of scholars (and practitioners too) interested in regional economic development: systems and ecosystems. These metaphors have proved popular, and enduring, currently experiencing something of a buzz or moment in the sunshine. This special issue pushes them out of their comfort zone to explore contexts, elements, and approaches that have not yet been well explored in the literature to date. Contributions in this special issue cover a wide range of international cases and explore systemic perspectives on economic development placing institutional context and evolutionary dynamics at the core.
