Can Climate Conscious Leadership Stop the Comet?

Faculty leads George Basile and Hylke Faber join Ryan Johnson for a discussion on the importance of cultivating climate conscious leaders to stop the metaphorical “comet” that climate change represents for humanity.

Climate Conscious Leadership is a brand new offering from ASU’s College of Global Futures which launches in May 2022. The program will focus on how to effectively become a leader on climate issues within your professional context, to be more strategic and conscious within your organization, and to understand how the broader global context translates into practice.

Who should attend?

This program is designed for mid-career professionals who are interested in or have responsibility for sustainability, ESG, and CSR responsibility in large and small companies, non-profit organizations, and in the government sector. These individuals will form the cohort of peers that will serve as your new professional network for sustainability and climate issues.
