The opening chapter outlines the background of the research, its importance in the context of China and other countries, the rationale for choosing the case study communities in rural China, and the composition of the research team. Chapter 2 explores key issues in the role of social entrepreneurship and leadership in rural community development. Chapter 3 analyses a green platform for a pilot transaction of China forest carbon sinks led by the Huadong Forestry Exchange. The fourth chapter examines carbon trade, forestry land rights, and the livelihoods of farmers in rural Chinese communities. Chapter 5 explores alternative energy development in rural Chinese communities, where the poor are often disproportionately dependent on fuel wood and solid biomass, causing environmental degradation, reduced productivity and the decline of income generating opportunities. Chapter 6 examines and tests the proposition that stronger communities will result from ?connected up?, holistic, synergistic and inclusive planning of services and supporting infrastructure. Chapter 7 analyzes information and communications technology (ICT) based service innovations for supporting rural community enterprises. Chapter 8 highlights key elements of stronger rural communities, drawing together the themes and proposals of preceding chapters and constructing an integrated model. The authors demonstrate that interconnected community enterprises based on clean forest products, forest carbon and ecotourism can be underpinned by local infrastructure enterprises such as renewable energy, water, waste management, ICT and transport, and financial mechanisms like carbon finance, all involving skills development, leadership and social entrepreneurship coupled with corporate and investment partnerships. Such interconnected approaches are expected to generate increased employment and prosperity, improve social livelihoods, and benefit the environment. 606 $aLeadership 606 $aEntrepreneurship 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aManagement 606 $aIndustrial management 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aEngineering 606 $aBusiness Strategy/Leadership$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/515010 606 $aEntrepreneurship$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/514000 606 $aEnvironmental Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48000 606 $aInnovation/Technology Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/518000 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aEngineering, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T00004 615 0$aLeadership. 615 0$aEntrepreneurship. 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aIndustrial management. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aEngineering. 615 14$aBusiness Strategy/Leadership. 615 24$aEntrepreneurship. 615 24$aEnvironmental Economics. 615 24$aInnovation/Technology Management. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aEngineering, general. 676 $a330 676 $a333.7 676 $a338.927 676 $a620 676 $a658.4092 676 $a658421 676 $a658514 700 $aZhu$b Ying$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0711931 702 $aLan$b Hong$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aNess$b David A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aXing$b Ke$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aSchneider$b Kris$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aLee$b Seung-Hee$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aGe$b Jing$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298516303321 996 $aTransforming Rural Communities in China and Beyond$92519757 997 $aUNINA
