What is Accelerating a Sustainability Transition?

"Accelerating Sustainability" is designed to inspire and enable participants to collaborate and lead effective change towards sustainability. The course supports sustainability innovators and broadens their understanding of global risks, international standards, and regulations. By studying value chains and ecosystems, we explore how to align with the 1.5-degree target and overall Agenda 2030 goals.

The course is created to empower and prepare anyone who is willing to coach their organization or another organization into accelerating their sustainability transition. Participants are invited to explore their own resilience and role by unfolding the Inner Development Goals and exploring their personal values and impact.

This journey is supported by regular dialogues, coaching, and mentoring sessions to help participants reflect, engage, and work on their identified goals.
