START DATE: August 1st 2024
END DATE: August 1st 2025
Understanding sustainability and its importance is crucial in addressing pressing global issues, such as climate change and resource depletion (Lopes et al., 2023). The Caribbean's slow progress towards achieving the sustainable development goals highlights the challenges faced by the region (CMCA, 2021). In this context, entrepreneurship has emerged as a potential solution to achieve greater sustainability by resolving social inequalities and preserving natural resources. However, sustainable entrepreneurship has been understudied compared to conventional entrepreneurship . There is a gap in understanding how sustainable entrepreneurship is currently perceived by entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs and what factors drive their intentions to adopt sustainable business practices. This project aims to address this gap and explore sustainable entrepreneurship in the unique context of Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
