ABOUT THE COURSE
This course is a must for sustainability professionals, CEOs, CSOs, board members and those interested in sustainability and impact. It will address key elements of the green economy transformation in business, exploring cutting-edge methods, business models and business applications of ecological economics. The programme will draw on the expertise of a range of disciplines to address the current challenges faced by businesses: climate change, biodiversity loss, resource depletion, water shortages, social cohesion and achieving sustainability in a resource-constrained market.
The course will focus on getting started with creating a systemic vision of sustainability for your project or organisation, applying a multi-criteria method to support decision-making and new tools for measuring progress. Particular emphasis will be on the role of business: sustainability transformation, ESG investment analysis, the role of climate investors and new sustainable business models including mapping circular economy to your context. The content delivered is based on some of the most recent and advanced research into ecological economics and sustainability investment, examples of which are published here. Dr Stanislav Shmelev is the author of several books including Ecological Economics: Sustainability in Practice and dozens of peer-reviewed research papers.
This is an accessible course for a broad audience. No prerequisites are necessary and the course comes complete with reading material and notes. Attendees will receive an attendance certificate.
