S1E45: Social Sustainability with Raquel Noboa

Host, Radhika Arapally⁠ had the pleasure of reconnecting with Raquel Noboa, Founder & CEO of Fifty Shades Greener - a sustainability-focused company offering green skills training, certification, and consulting. Raquel's insights remind us that sustainability is about people, action, and values.

Lessons and reflections to carry forward:

❇️Meet people where they are: Understand their motivators and meet them at their starting point to guide meaningful change.

❇️ Imperfection is okay: Even small, consistent actions can create a significant cumulative impact over time.

❇️ Apply learning: Trainings and knowledge are most powerful when applied in our every day.

❇️Human rights matter: Sustainability includes accessibility, inclusivity, and ensuring everyone has the right to travel.

❇️Climate action over climate knowledge: Practical climate solutions and hands-on steps are more effective than just discussing the issues.

Finally, Raquel emphasised something we’re all missing: community—at work and at home. Reconnecting with the community spirit is essential for a thriving, sustainable future.
