Sustainability transitions demand leaders who can shape strategy, influence systems, manage institutional change, and align diverse stakeholders around climate and development goals. As global economies pursue net-zero pathways, just transitions, ESG integration, and circularity, professional leadership capacity becomes imperative. This domain equips learners with the capabilities to lead sustainability-driven organizational transformation, embed ESG principles, mobilize finance, manage cultural change, spark innovation, and design agile systems. The courses blend organizational behaviour, systems thinking, change management science, leadership psychology, stakeholder negotiation, and climate-aligned business strategy. Learners gain practical skills to build sustainability roadmaps & implementation frameworks, establish cross-functional governance, manage people-centric change, design purpose-driven business models, navigate climate–economic–equity trade-offs, and measure and communicate impact.
