The book delves into the key drivers and obstacles influencing climate change mitigation and adaptation, linking these processes to economic, social, and environmental upgrading. With a strong regional focus on South Asia—particularly Bangladesh, one of the world’s largest garment-exporting nations—it explores how global decarbonization efforts intersect with local realities, presenting both challenges and opportunities. The book offers a nuanced analysis of emissions management, regulatory frameworks, and policy responses, integrating diverse viewpoints from brands, suppliers, workers, and policymakers.
Blending theoretical insights with rich empirical evidence, Global Value Chains and Climate Change illuminates how climate action is not just a constraint but also a catalyst for economic, social, and environmental transformation in global value chains. This book is an essential read for students and scholars in management, international business, climate policy, environmental science, and development studies. It will also serve as an invaluable resource for policymakers, industry leaders, and practitioners seeking to navigate the evolving landscape of sustainability transitions in the wider context of global trade.
