Collaborative Leadership for Climate Action

  • Online
  • 25 Hours
  • Four Weeks
  • $750
  • Next Offering: May 27 - June 23, 2024

Offered in partnership with Royal Roads University, this course focuses on the significance of collaboration in addressing climate change issues.

Envisioning a sustainable future means considering who benefits and who is excluded from the transition. Outdated leadership models often prioritize the perspectives of the privileged few, whereas collaborative leadership prioritizes engaging with those most impacted by climate change.
