Immersive technologies—Metaverse, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR)—are transforming sustainability practice, infrastructure planning, green skills development, and climate-risk preparedness. From simulating climate-resilient cities and industrial safety training to enhancing circular-economy operations and workforce skilling, immersive technologies offer intuitive, experiential, and scalable methods to build capacity, reduce costs, and accelerate learning. This domain introduces learners to XR (extended reality) ecosystems, digital twins, industrial VR/AR deployment, sustainable metaverse applications, and VR-based workforce training models. The curriculum blends technical literacy, design principles, sustainability application cases, policy–governance awareness, and commercial strategy. Participants learn to create immersive training modules, integrate GIS + simulation + digital twins, and design metaverse-based ESG engagement.
