Do you have a sustainability mindset?Having a sustainability mindset is the key to taking faster more effective action
Thursday, 4th May 2023, 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Registration from 10:30 amMindsets are cognitive tool kits used to structure thinking and help us successfully complete similar tasks. The aim of this session is to examine the role of a sustainability mindset in taking successful, timely action on climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s).
Many organisations engaged in taking action on climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s), face significant challenges in achieving their goals. Combining research and case studies, this event will explore how sustainability mindsets have been employed in successful projects. In sector based groups, we will then ask how the knowledge, cognitive capacities and approaches that make up the mindsets can be used by participants within their organisations to solve complex climate related problems.
Speakers include:
- Professor Iain Black, Strathclyde Business School
- Dr Lucrezia Casulli, Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship
- Steven Whyte, Strategy Scottish and Southern Energy Networks
- Lucy Gillie, South Seed
Participants are welcome to join us for a networking lunch following the event.
