Sustainability institute of week: The Institute for Leadership and Sustainability

The Institute for Leadership and Sustainability (IFLAS) at the University of Cumbria is an emerging global hub of inquiry, teaching and dialogue enabling the transition to more fair and sustainable societies.

Blue & Green Tomorrow is currently running a crowdfunder to ensure its survival. Please pledge.

The institute states that the challenge of achieving social, environmental and economic sustainability requires more sustainable leadership – ways of relating that promote change that is mutually beneficial for the person, organisation stakeholders and world at large.

The IFLAS offers postgraduate degrees, research programmes, inspiring events and global networks to support a new generation of sustainable leaders – well-balanced professionals for a better-balanced world.

Three main research areas make up the IFLAS that aim to enable transitions to fair and sustainable societies. These include leading transition, resourcing transition and scaling transition.
