The Science of Climate Change

Climate change is no longer a distant threat or just a possibility, it is now a reality for all of us. In this pathway, Kevin Trenberth, a renowned climatologist, delves into the science behind climate change. He first introduces the climate system, its main components and forces.

Tackling the Plastic Crisis

Plastic pollution is by far the biggest threat to our oceans and this remains an incredibly tough problem to solve. Plastic credits could potentially serve as one of the much needed solutions for this crisis.

The Scale of the Net Zero Challenge

The price of meeting net zero is estimated to be between $100-150 trillion over the next 30 years. Regardless of this cost, we need to reach net zero before climate change does irreversible damage to the environment and the economy.

ESG, Sustainability and Impact Jargon Buster

ESG, sustainability, impact… they all just mean green, right? Not quite. Despite being used often interchangeably, there are distinct differences between these terms.

Summary
Why is achieving net zero more than just cutting emissions? 

Achieving net zero involves not only reducing emissions but also navigating the complex landscape of risks and opportunities that emerge in the transition to a low-carbon world. On the risk side, companies face evolving regulations, shifting market demands, and increased costs tied to carbon emissions. Yet, this transition is also a chance for growth and competitive advantage. Organisations that prioritise sustainable practices are positioning themselves as future leaders, proving that sustainable change brings tangible benefits both financially and reputationally.

How do human skills contribute to achieving net zero?

While technology and data are essential, human skills such as adaptability, communication, and collaboration are the driving force behind sustainable progress. Skills like explaining complex sustainability goals to diverse audiences, building cross-departmental relationships, and anticipating challenges are critical. Additionally, the emerging ‘Inner Development Goals’ (IDGs) highlight the importance of personal qualities—such as empathy, resilience, and global responsibility—in creating sustainable change. By fostering these skills, professionals are better equipped to address complex challenges, lead through transitions, and inspire ethical leadership aligned with global goals.

What is the significance of the Inner Development Goals in the context of sustainability?

The Inner Development Goals (IDGs) complement the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by recognising that lasting societal change relies on personal growth and self-awareness. The IDGs emphasise human qualities like emotional resilience, adaptability, and ethical leadership, which are vital for tackling complex environmental and social issues. By nurturing these skills, individuals can foster the adaptability and empathy needed for sustainable change. This approach underlines the belief that progress toward global targets, like net zero, ultimately depends on people who are willing and able to lead transformational efforts.
