Abstract: Climate change, biodiversity loss, and social inequity are not standalone crises but interconnected threads in a fragile tapestry. The question is not whether we can address these challenges; it's *how* we can do so without sacrificing one priority for another. Traditional solutions often fall short, trapped in siloed thinking or short-term gains. Old economic and finance models chase profits while ignoring environmental costs, and climate policies sometimes overlook the human toll of transition. What is needed are approaches that embrace complexity, uncertainty, and the delicate balance between competing goals. From decarbonizing transportation networks to linking financial systems with biodiversity metrics, these studies showcase OR recent developments' potential to turn bold ideas into inevitabilities. The path ahead is steep, but with creativity, collaboration, and OR's analytical firepower, a resilient future is not just possible, it is within grasp. To take this action, this research of The Annals of Operations Research on New trends and recent developments in OR techniques for sustainability, environment and social transition in Economics and Finance aims at accomplishing a wide dissemination of innovative contributions and applications in this field.
