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

The Challenges for Supply Chains
Kate Larsen
20 years: Human Rights and Supply Chains
Now we’re familiar with what a supply chain is and where ESG fits into it, Kate Larsen guides us through the problems we have with supply chains - pollution, deforestation, child labour, slavery, wage abuse and even death. From budget brands to high end luxury - these aren’t problems on far away shores. In fact, many of these are closer to home than you think.
Now we’re familiar with what a supply chain is and where ESG fits into it, Kate Larsen guides us through the problems we have with supply chains - pollution, deforestation, child labour, slavery, wage abuse and even death. From budget brands to high end luxury - these aren’t problems on far away shores. In fact, many of these are closer to home than you think.
In recent years we've seen a flurry of new laws which call on companies to conduct due diligence on supply chains, with particular focus on environmental and social factors (such as human rights and labour standards). Some of the most vulnerable workers in developing countries have been targeted by bad actors. This has left them in debt bondage i.e. modern slavery. Western Buyers are increasingly held to account to do human rights due diligence to help people in their supply chains have their Environmental Social rights respected. There are 17 SDGs, but the first is no poverty.
Studies show that the majority of workers making clothing and shoes globally for western brands aren't paid a living wage. Many need to work 80 hours a week in physical work to pay for often still slum-like living conditions.
Key learning objectives:
Identify the causes of supply chain abuse
Identify examples of supply chain abuse
Understand the consequences of supply chain abuse

Good Intentions and Bad Outcomes
Trying to make improvements isn’t as easy. In fact, fixing a problem can occasionally make things worse. But why? The root of the failure is often in missing how parts of a system are connected. In this video, Paul covers how impacts can vary, depending on the size of the system and why some projects made their problems worse - not better.

Introduction to Sustainable Supply Chains
How do the items you use, eat and wear get made? Unfortunately, bad ESG practice in industry supply chains is more likely to be the rule than the exception.
