Course overview
By attending this training workshop, you will look at sustainability from a global, environmental perspective. Following on from the Covid-19 pandemic, the world is refocusing on global warming and climate change, and what actions companies and citizens can take to slow the negative impacts of CO2 emissions. Many organisations avoid the consequences of their unsustainable business practices and seek to “externalise” that is to say, transfer- the costs of pollution and climate change to others. Meanwhile, the poorest countries suffer from poverty, poor sanitation, hunger or lack of other fundamental human rights.
Our training workshop considers collaborative initiatives from a range of corporate and global actors, such as the United Nations, allowing us to unpick the threads of sustainable development, globalisation, climate change and environmental sustainability.
