Abstract

Social entrepreneurship is essential for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 and solving many environmental and social problems in the community. Social entrepreneurs and their social enterprises are key figures in social entrepreneurship. They interact with different social players to form various types of social entrepreneurship ecosystems and thus address society’s social problems on a larger scale. However, there are limited studies on key social entrepreneurship ecosystems and their role in overcoming the ecological problems of the community. Hence, the paper aims to analyze 36 critical peer-reviewed articles that focus on various social entrepreneurship ecosystems and the vital environmental problems they solved. The 36 articles have been studied from some critical aspects of social entrepreneurship ecosystems, including i) patterns and groups of social entrepreneurship ecosystems, ii) factors for the successful development of social entrepreneurship ecosystems, and iii) ecological problems solved by them. The present study’s findings can support future research in the growing research area of social entrepreneurship ecosystems.
