Reflections on Editing Advances in Environmental Accounting & Management

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to provide a reflection on our time of creating and editing AEAM. Our planet is and will continue to experience some environmental turmoil in the future. Accounting educators and the professionals need to determine how they can contribute to abating the environmental consequences of past and present political and economic decisions that have placed the planet in this perilous state. The volumes we produced included articles discussing accounting’s role in assessing and reporting on environmental conditions and some suggest how accounting can contribute to alleviating some of these problems. The reflections we provide are our understandings of the contributions that the works in the first five volumes of the series have made in advancing the discussion in the field of environmental accounting. As editors we have a unique view of these contributions.
