SustainablityLeadrshpPracticum

Course Description.

The world's natural resources continue to decline at an alarming rate despite decades of concerted conservation efforts. Reversing this trend will require going beyond traditional approaches. The Sustainability Leadership Practicum (SLP) helps meet this need by equipping future leaders with proven tools for disrupting the status quo. The curriculum focuses on skills that leading conservation practitioners identified as being most critical to their success in promoting more sustainable use of natural resources. Priority skills combine innovation, collaboration, and communication to create change on a sweeping scale, in a short time frame, and with limited financial resources.

Learning Goal & Objectives.

The course has a single overarching goal: to equip participants with the most critical skills needed to lead disruptive change for sustainable use of natural resources. Fourteen learning objectives support this goal, representing the broad areas of innovation, collaboration, and communication.
