This edited volume presents the conference papers from the 1st
International Conference on Business, Economics, Management, and
Sustainability (BEMAS), organized by the Centre for International
Trade and Business in Asia (CITBA) at James Cook University. This
book argues that the orthodox methods of external risks, climate
change adaptation plans, and sustainable economic growth in cities
are no longer adequate. These methods, so far, have not only
ignored the ongoing structural changes associated with economic
development but also failed to account for evolving industries'
composition and the emergence of new comparative advantages and
skills. Specifically, this book looks at the vulnerable communities
and exposed areas, particularly in urban areas, that tend to
experience higher susceptibility to external risks (such as climate
change, natural disasters, and public health emergencies) have been
largely ignored in incremental adaptation plans. Vulnerable
communities and areas not only require different adaptive responses
to climate risk but also possess unlocked adaptive capacity that
can motivate different patterns of sustainable development to
achieve the goals of the 2030 Agenda. It is essential, therefore,
to view transformative growth and fundamental reorientation of
economic resources as integral parts of the solution. Social
disorganisation and vulnerability are other undesired outcomes of
the unpredictable and widespread external economic shocks. This is
due to a sudden and tough competition between members of society to
acquire precious resources, most of which may be depleted during
unprecedented events such as natural disasters or pandemics
resulting in an even more chaotic and disorganised conditions.
