  • Roundtable: Getting Beyond Net Zero
    Apr 16 2024

    Climate is only one of the planetary boundaries we need to work on. And we also need to tackle a whole range of social issues.

    That's why item four and our sustainability leadership manifesto is: "develop and deliver initiatives that offer multiple benefits for people and nature".

    In this Roundtable event, our guests, sustainability leaders across a variety of sectors, reflect on their experience of trying to move the agenda beyond net zero in their work.

    Listen for insights from the sharp end about how to help colleagues to see the bigger picture and start engaging with the rest of the sustainable development goals.

  • Better collaboration for better sustainability leadership. Here's how.
    Feb 25 2024

    Collaboration is essential to making greater progress on sustainability – within organisations and supply chains, across sectors – and across society globally.

    This is recognised by the UN Sustainable Development Goal 17 ‘Partnership for the Goals’, and Collaboration is one of the five dimensions identified by the Inner Development Goals as essential to achieving the SDGs.

    And the fifth call to action in our sustainability leadership manifesto for 2024 is “Seek out opportunities to collaborate and cooperate”.

    Identifying the need is one thing, doing something about it is another.

    To prepare for this episode I sat down with Morag and Rich, my Realise Earth co-founders, to discuss how we could draw on our collective experience to offer you some really useful guidance on collaboration.

    Here’s what we came up with:

    • First I talk about what we mean by collaboration in the context of sustainability leadership
    • Then I get into the skills required for successful collaboration and the characteristics of effective teams
    • Finally I explore the nitty gritty of collaborating better, ending with specific actions you can start taking tomorrow – whatever your current experience.

    You'll find all the links mentioned in this episode in the companion blog post: https://realise.earth/better-collaboration-for-better-sustainability-leadership-heres-how/
