Coffee and Career advice - How to Make Sustainability a Part of your Career?

 
Let’s have a coffee and talk sustainability! Sit down together with students and sustainability practitioners and unpack the skill set, competencies and recent and upcoming developments in engaging with sustainability “out there” in the “real” world. Join us in finding out what it takes to make sustainability happen.
 
Has sustainability seen its golden age? Are we seeing a maturity of sustainability in practice where skills and competencies have become integrated in company/organization DNA? Are we seeing competency gaps on certain sustainability areas? What are the competencies organizations need in the era of geopolitical turmoil and constant overstepping of planetary boundaries?
 
We will unpack these and more over coffee in a session driven by those attending.
 
After a short hello from each guest and their take on Frequently Asked Questions, participants will sit down for a coffee with our guests, organization representatives working with sustainability in various aspects in their daily activities.

  • Melissa Kalin, Process & Strategy Specialist, WWF
