Understand the dilemmas and opportunities
Climate change plays out at many different levels, from human impact to economic consequences. At the same time, sustainable development is a prerequisite for businesses’ continued growth and the development of society.
The EU has set goals for the green transition. Accordingly, it will be more and more relevant that we understand and can navigate the inevitable dilemmas that may occur when businesses and organisations are to decide which sustainability projects to launch. It is not possible to optimise on all parameters.
Climate and sustainability from different aspects
How can you tackle sustainability dilemmas and how do you avoid not being able to give an explanation?
The solution is to understand the dilemmas and make informed decisions based on science. You can acquire sustainability competences within natural sciences, social sciences and the humanities.
Are you looking for a course on sustainability that matches the needs of your company or organisation?
Courses can be customised and organised to enhance your employees’ skills within a specific area of your interest and that matches your reality.
