The last 70 years have seen the most rapid transformation of the human relationship with the natural world in the history of humankind, a phenomenon known as the "Great Acceleration". Steffen et al. (2015) outlined an urgent need for a new paradigm that integrates the continued development of human societies and the maintenance of the earth system in a resilient and accommodating state; what has widely been termed "sustainability".
The purpose of this MicroCred is to provide students with a deep contextual understanding of sustainability issues as they influence work and organisations in parallel with the digital transformation of the workplace. Further, the MicroCred considers cutting edge research and practice in the creation of sustainable, inclusive, hybrid work environments, and offers students a guided opportunity to create an actionable sustainable work initiative.
