We will explore not only why this is important for our society and the environment but will also dive deep into why it matters for your business. In the next lesson, we will start with the terminology around Sustainability. In the world of sustainable development, the term climate is often mentioned, but hardly ever explained. If you want to get a good grip on this term you can hop over to the additional sources and read the article we wrote on the difference between the weather, the climate and human-caused climate change.

Meet Your Trainer

Minou started The Green Sprint together with Pamela Smit to help organizations take action on sustainability. On our journey, we kept meeting many amazing individuals in all sorts of roles and with different backgrounds with one thing in common: They care about sustainability and climate action but don't really know how to get started in their company.

So we created this course because we believe that organizations all around the world are in need of passionate changemakers who can guide the transition to the new economy. Minou will guide you through the whole journey and you can always reach out to her when you have questions or ideas.
