This book (not yet under contract) examines how informal learning across Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East shapes education beyond formal schooling through community practices, cultural traditions, technology, and experiences of crisis. It focuses on how these forms of learning influence development, identity, equity, and relationships with formal education systems.

Advances in Environmental Accounting & Management (AEAM) invites submissions for Volume 14, focusing on contemporary issues in environmental accountability and technologies. In recent years, the field of environmental accounting and management has been reshaped by significant transformations in sustainability reporting regimes, with increased disclosures in both volume and complexity (Liu et al., 2025; Moses et al., 2024), alongside developments in mandatory climate standards (Ehalaiye et al., 2025; Habib et al., 2025; Moses et al., 2025). These shifts are occurring alongside rapid advances in technological infrastructures, particularly in relation to digitalisation, artificial intelligence, and data-driven accountability systems (Massaro et al., 2025), with important implications for organisations’ environmental disclosures and accountability practices (Liu et al., 2025). Notwithstanding these developments, important research frontiers remain insufficiently explored within the environmental accounting and management literature.

The debate for effective development strategies of nations and organizations, in developed and developing countries alike, aimed to attain long term high performance and sustainability, continues to be one of the most stubborn concerns of the last century. To the largest extent, trial-and-error intents fail at all levels, micro, meso, macro, when economic and managerial decisions persist focusing on traditional resource-allocation theories and practices. Despite exponential evidence that failure is the norm when people and their wellbeing are overlooked as critical component to optimize resource allocations leading high performance, productivity and long-term sustainability.
