Sustainable Transition in Action

This course inspires and enables discovery and realisation of effective change toward a sustainable carbon emissions downshift in a variety of organisational contexts (engineering, education, business, government, non-profit organisation and community). The course provides a quantitative understanding of the scale of the climate and resource challenges caused by unsustainable growth via a mix of theory, storytelling and examples. The interdependencies of energy and resources are examined and armed with this knowledge participants can design effective transition solutions that work at scale. By exploring Transition Pathways, learners will be able to evaluate the effectiveness of different transition solutions. Tools are developed to support assessment of transition solutions for tackling wicked problems. Current economic models are critically investigated to determine their impact on financing change. Alternative economic models are presented to assess the viability of transition projects. This course will underline the importance of an interdisciplinary and holistic mindset to solve complex systemic problems. With leadership and a complete toolkit, learners will master transition thinking by effectively assessing complete systems and developing shift projects to achieve sustainable goals.
