This specialization trains learners to manage sustainability-focused projects — from conception to completion — using global project management frameworks (PMI, PRINCE2, Agile) while embedding environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles. Participants will develop leadership, planning, and performance measurement skills to deliver projects that create long-term social, economic, and ecological value. Aligned with SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action), this program strengthens STRATI’s mission to cultivate globally competent, sustainability-oriented project leaders.
