报告摘要：

The importance of research on sustainability in global value chains lies in its potential to address pressing global challenges, including climate change, resource scarcity, and social inequality. Sustainable global value chain practices are instrumental in reducing emissions, conserving resources, and promoting fair labor practices, contributing to the broader goals of sustainable development. Against this background, this talk discusses the research findings that explore the underlying motivators and barriers to global value chain adoption. Further, emerging trends and future directions in global value chains will be presented.
