Climate change is one of the most significant and challenging problems we face today, and many organizations have recognized their responsibility in reducing emissions and environmental degradation and regenerating biodiversity. However, conventional leadership has failed to respond adequately to the magnitude of the threat, and a profound change in corporate leadership is required to substantively cut emissions and change climate policy to minimize further destructive environmental impact. This book sets out the qualities and approaches needed by leaders to successfully develop and implement climate change mitigation and adaptation policies.
Based on the recently published Handbook of Climate Change Leadership in Organisations this webinar addresses the failures of current leadership practice and proposes a variety of models of how climate change leadership capabilities can be effectively developed in organizations.
It is structured around four concepts:
- foundations, which includes models of environmental, ecological and evolutionary leadership;
- transitions, which looks at transformational and ethical models that are being repurposed for the age of sustainability;
- progressions, which explores innovative models that are being developed for the current age including systems, adaptation and maturity-based models of leadership; and
- actions, which includes models of sustainable goal setting and climate leadership coaching and development.
By attending this webinar, participants will:
- Learn about the context and purpose of leadership in response to climate breakdown
- Explore the foundations of CCL ( Climate Change Leadership) including values , mindsets and IDG’s
- See how to repurpose traditional models of leadership for the age of sustainability
- Discover emerging models of CCL
Actions we can take as practitioners and academics.
