Kursusindhold
In this course, we first explore how to sustainability is perceived and sustainable leadership is practiced across cultures, and how these different approaches have implications for global
sustainability transformations, such as measuring Scope 3 emissions or global biodiversity. As part of a study tour to India, we analyze organizational strategies as well as community-level implementations to sustainable change, alongside a non-Western approach to personal leadership and resilience immersed in the local landscape and nature. We then apply these learnings to drive organizational change at home, and we reflect on how we can increase our sphere of influence to lead more globally relevant and impactful sustainable transformations.
