Climate change is the biggest challenge we face today. Governments have a huge task ahead if we are to avoid climate disaster. But they cannot do this alone: key stakeholders like business and industry must be brought along too. In this workshop, you’ll learn how stakeholders in the public sector can support and collaborate with the private sector to adopt a sustainability-focused mindset.
This workshop is part of our new ‘Lunch and learn’ series. The first series on sustainability will feature three workshops over six weeks — you can come to every session or just drop into one!
There is still time to register for the second workshop Greening government: How to make the public service sustainable, 1-2pm GMT, 1 December. You can view the recording from the first workshop How to talk about sustainability in the workplace here. Get the most out of your lunch break by learning new ideas and connecting with your peers.
What you’ll learn:
- Identify the trends and challenges in the shift towards sustainability for small and mid-size enterprises (SMEs)
- Understand the steps and tools required to help SMEs adopt this shift
- Recognise what has worked and what hasn’t from use cases in different governments
This workshop has been organised in partnership with the Sustainable Living Lab (SL2). SL2 is a consultancy that co-designs and implements innovation projects in the area of future skills development, energy sustainability and community resilience.
