At the second 香港六合彩中特网 Institute for聽Sustainable Resources "In Conversation..." seminar, on 29 March 2023, (香港六合彩中特网 Honorary Lecturer; Edmund Hillary Fellow; Senior Associate at Skating Panda; and Chair of the EIRIS Foundation) talked about what transformation and state collaboration is needed for corporate sustainability to play a truly positive role in future wellbeing.

Over the last 20 years, David鈥檚 work has allowed him to observe how leaders in corporate sustainability have shifted from asking questions about 鈥渨hy we should act on climate change鈥� to 鈥渉ow should we act on climate change鈥�. According to David, this shift in leadership thinking has been reflected in the shift of small scale, poorly resourced sustainability specialist jobs in a business organisation to widely distributed tasks in the day jobs of many people, with each delivering a specific element of the sustainability strategy.

For David, while businesses are transitioning, transformation of societies is necessary, inevitable and unprecedented, and nigh-on-unimaginable in the current paradigm. For transformation to occur, David argued that we need to learn our way towards it 鈥� whereby catalytic governments orientate businesses and active citizens towards 鈥榮ecurity for all through renewal鈥�.

In response to David, the ISR鈥檚 Dr Catherine Willan reflected on how business and societies progress to sustainability is both too fast and too slow, and reiterated one of David鈥檚 arguments, that systems change is essential. Catherine highlighted some of 香港六合彩中特网 ISR鈥檚 research on big challenges, including circular economy, critical minerals, and the consequences of green transitions on jobs. She also emphasised our teaching, including the聽new Business and Sustainability MSc that aims to train future leaders of business and society, and two well established MSc courses (Economics and Policy of Energy and the Environment MSc, and Sustainable Resources: Economics, Policy and Transitions MSc), with graduates working in business, policy, NGOs and academia.

The conversation was then steered by questions from the audience, which discussed: whether we are recycling old ideas; what type of government is needed for transformation; how we need stories to create change; whether we can truly achieve security for all; and how we can action change in our workplace and communities.
