The Role of Social Entrepreneurship in Promoting Sustainable Development and Addressing Environmental Challenges

Abstract: This research focuses on how social entrepreneurs may help solve environmental problems and further sustainable development. It uses a quantitative method of analysis through a survey given to business majors in higher education. This study delves into the connection between social entrepreneurship and sustainable development by examining descriptive statistics like mean and standard deviation and using a t-test to determine statistical significance. Climate change, environmental deterioration, and resource depletion are just a few worldwide problems recognized as critical in this study. The concept of "social entrepreneurship," which merges business practices with an emphasis on doing good for society and the environment, has received much attention as a possible solution to these problems. Learning how social entrepreneurship may help with environmental issues and further sustainable development is important. This survey aims to learn how college business majors feel about the importance of social entrepreneurship to environmental protection and sustainability. Descriptive statistics will be used to analyze the survey results and learn about the median and range of replies. In addition, a t-test will be run to determine whether or not there are statistically significant differences between the groups of participants, expanding our knowledge of the elements that contribute to the success of socially entrepreneurial initiatives in resolving environmental issues.
