Shifting Grounds | Navigating Sustainability Transitions, Amid Climate Stress and Geopolitical Uncertainty

Jun 25 2025 - 3 pm - BBS New Campus

On Wednesday, June 25, starting at 3 PM, the workshop “Shifting Grounds. Navigating Sustainability Transitions, Amid Climate Stress, and Geopolitical Uncertainty” will take place both at the BBS New Campus and online.

In an era marked by intensifying climate stress and escalating geopolitical uncertainty, business leaders face unprecedented challenges in steering their organizations through sustainability transitions. This three-hour workshop equips managers with the strategic insights and adaptive tools needed to lead in volatile environments. Through interactive discussions, and real-world case studies, participants will explore how to align sustainability goals with shifting regulatory landscapes, supply chain disruptions, and evolving stakeholder expectations. The session emphasizes resilience, systems thinking, and cross-sector collaboration as key competencies for future-ready leadership.

This is a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding of sustainable business leadership in complex and rapidly evolving contexts.
