How the economy is transforming

“

- What comes to mind when you hear the word sustainability? Maybe you think of packaging or recycling. Perhaps it's planting trees or even hugging them. But these are all very old outdated ideas of what sustainability is. It's actually about changing the way we use, value and respect natural resources. It's a sophisticated and technical skill set that is quickly becoming a must-have for any successful business. I'm Layla Acaroglu, founder of the Unschool and Disrupt Design. And I've been helping advance sustainability and innovation in business for over 20 years. I was even named champion of the earth by the United Nations environment program for my work. N,ow we all know there are a bunch of social and environmental issues we must address, but don't worry. This course is not about all the problems we face. Instead, it's jam-packed with loads of opportunities to transform your business. You'll go through the basics of what sustainability is. I'll show you how to assess the impacts of your products and services and then how to redesign them for the circular economy. So get ready because this course will challenge you to think differently and help you create a future that works better than today.
