Sustainability professionals are tasked with addressing some of the most complex, wicked problems we face as a society. Climate change, poverty, and environmental justice are examples of problems for which no technical solution exists. They have multiple causes, involve countless stakeholders with varying opinions, and they are ripe with uncertainty and unknown potential consequences.
SLI provides new concepts and tools to help you think about your work in new ways, get unstuck, and enable action and decision making in the most complex of circumstances.
