Speakers
Climate change and sustainability have been on the political agenda for some time now. Public servants have been charged with creating green policies and communicating with the public on the effects and urgency of climate change.
But how often do public servants talk to their own colleagues and teams about these issues? In this workshop, you’ll learn how to bring sustainability discussions into the workplace and discover tactics for getting your team to take affirmative action.
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! Get the most out of your lunch break by learning new ideas and connecting with your peers.
You'll learn:
- How to initiate conversations on sustainability at work
- How to use a framework to align your team on sustainability goals
- Ways to empower your team to take proactive steps towards change
Who should watch:
This workshop is for anyone who is interested in sustainability and wants to know how to address these issues in the workplace.
This workshop has been put on 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.
