Program overview
The world is changing with increasing speed and turbulence. We are reaching ‘tipping points’ or ‘thresholds’ beyond which a safe and just space for humanity can no longer be achieved. Linked to the Sustainable Development Goals, the Planetary Boundaries and the Donut Economy have become reference frameworks. This course will explore why and how companies can transform themselves to operate within the Planetary boundaries and the Donut Economy, through going beyond incremental changes: at one point it requires new disruptive business models: low carbon, circular, biodiversity friendly and inclusive.
