dc.description.abstractThese challenges have emerged due to the profit maximization motive of the SME owners at the expense of conserving the environment and the values of society. Currently, there is a pressing need for entrepreneurs to adopt environmentally friendly strategies, technologies, and products that will result in sustainable solutions to problems of the day. A study was adopted to analyze the effects of environmental entrepreneurship on sustainable development among small and medium enterprises in Lusaka’s CDB. A sample of 278 respondents was selected using the Cochran formula which resulted in a response rate of 91% with 252 respondents. A mixed methodology approach was used and data was analyzed through the use of SPSS from which correlation and a summary of coefficient were used to measure the relationship among variables. The overall coefficient of correlation of 0.947 from the SPSS results suggests that there is a strong positive relationship between the variables under observation in relation to sustainable development among SMEs with regard to environmental entrepreneurship strategies which are: environmental efficacy, and environmental innovation. The R-Square (coefficient of determination) of 0.897 suggests that sustainable development is influenced 89.7% by the independent variables observed.
