Sustainability: Environment, Economy and Society: An Online Certified Sustainability Course in London by LSE

Course Overview

Sustainability is a complex and multidimensional issue that cannot be viewed as a simple box-checking exercise or removed from its broader context. Individuals and organisations require a deeper knowledge of the economic, social, and political dynamics that impact sustainability initiatives if they’re to ensure their success.

On the Sustainability: Environment, Economy and Society online certificate course, you’ll gain an integrated, holistic understanding of sustainability through a unique, social-sciences lens. Guided by industry experts, you’ll systematically unpack the core concepts governing sustainability today, and turn theory into practice by examining a number of relevant, real-world scenarios.

Investigate the applications of sustainability from a business perspective, as you explore the nature of social development, analyse the relationship between economic growth and sustainability, and develop your ability to lead your organisation’s sustainability transition. You’ll also examine the shared, interconnected nature of climate-related risk, and gain practical tools for managing and preserving natural capital.

At the end of six weeks, you’ll have the confidence to strategically weave sustainability into your current or future role, and an enhanced skill set for guiding your organisation to success in the green economy.
